BREAKING NEWS: GOP PARTY CHAIRMAN WAYNE PARKE SUGGEST DAN MCGINN TO RESIGN FROM CITY COUNCIL
Dear Mr McGinn:
I accept you resignation as a Republican Precinct Committeeman. If your email is an accurate representation of your line of thinking, I suggest you also resign from your City Council position as well.
You ran and was elected as a Republican. You have already stated you are not going to run for re-election in 2019–so resign now from your position as a City Councilman, so voters can be represented by a Republican because that is what they thought they were getting when you ran for office.
As I have in the past, I will continue to voice my opinion on issues to all elected officials no matter what party they belong to if I believe their vote is not in the best interest of the citizens and the Republican Party.
You are not acting like the person I once knew and I do not know why.
Wayne Parke-Chairman VCRP
BREAKING NEWS : Dan McGinn Resigns from Republican Party
Wayne,
Twice in the last couple of weeks you have criticized my actions in a most public way. i have decided to answer your criticisms in a like manner.
First, you did not like my vote concerning a resolution to do away with gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is the manipulation of political boundaries in order to give an unfair advantage to one party in an election. It is dishonest. It is unconstitutional. It is cheating. I do not wish to be associated with any person or organization that not only condones cheating but also actively supports it.
Secondly, you criticized my actions as well as the actions of Councilwoman Mercer concerning our votes in favor of a tax increase. The fact that you are totally ignorant as to the financial condition of the City of Evansville alone makes your criticism unwarranted but that is not the reason that I find your last email so offensive. You have criticized us for exercising our independent judgement and doing what we feel is best for the people we represent rather that marching lockstep to political doctrine.
I no longer wish to be affiliated with any person or organization that condones dishonesty. I no longer wish to be affiliated with any person or organization that punishes independent thinking and demands adherence to political dogma. This is 2017, not 1984.
I resign my position as a precinct committeeman. I resign from the Vanderburgh County Republican Party. Remove my name from your party rolls, phone lists, email lists and mailing lists. Remove my picture and listing from your website’s list of elected Republican officials. I now consider myself an
independant and will act accordingly in all future actions.
Dan McGinn

Michelle–
I am very surprise and disappointed that you chose to vote for a local income tax increase. The County Council did not ask for an increase. Mayor Winnecke did not ask for the increase. President Trump and Governor Holcomb do not support increasing taxes—in fact, they are seeking to lower them. You knew up front, that I opposed an increase in the local income taxes. Taking in account all the foregoing, for whatever reason, you voted for an increase—a mistake. Your vote was key and many voters have long memories will remember how you voted on this issue.
You should be following the lead of Justin Elpers and John Hayden on tax issues. If possible, Republicans need to be pulling in the same direction.
In addition, — I am not happy with Dan McGinn’s vote either.

Big first half lift Eagles to 3-1 win
The University of Southern Indiana men’s soccer team exploded for three first half goals and cruised to a 3-1 win over William Jewell College Friday evening in Liberty, Missouri. The Screaming Eagles, who have won a season-best four-straight, rise to 7-5-0 overall and 5-5-0 in the GLVC, while WJC sees its record go to 3-10-0 overall and 1-9-0 in the league.
With the win, the Eagles reach the .500 mark in the GLVC for the first time this season and move into a three-way tie for seventh in the league standings with four conference matches remaining. The top eight teams in the standing qualify for the GLVC Tournament that is slated to begin October 29.
USI sophomore forward Eric Ramirez (Vincennes, Indiana) started the scoring for the Eagles with a pair of tallies, his fourth and fifth of the season. Ramirez got his first of the half at 25:34 off an assist from freshman defender Justin Raines (Bartlett, Tennessee), while his second came at 33:02 off a pass down the center of the field by senior midfielder Cesar Alba (Hanover Park, Illinois).
The Eagles concluded the first half scoring barrage when sophomore defender Markus Poulsen (Gilleleje, Denmark) posted his first of the year and as an Eagle at 38:31. Poulsen was assisted on the tally by sophomore defender Drew Albert (Eureka, Missouri) and junior forward Hayden Sovar (Owensboro, Kentucky).
The 3-0 first half lead lasted through the intermission and until the 75:54 mark of the second half when WJC cut the USI advantage to 3-1 and the eventual final score.
Between the posts, USI senior goalkeeper Adam Zehme (Orland Park, Illinois) and freshman goalkeeper Justin Faas (Carmel, Indiana) combined for the Eagle win. Zehme, who officially picked up his seventh win of the season, did not allow a goal and was forced to make one save, while Faas allowed the Cardinals’ second half in his third appearance of the season.
The Eagles plays its final road game of the regular season when they visit fourth-ranked Rockhurst University Sunday at noon. Rockhurst saw its season mark go to 10-0-2 overall and 9-0-1 GLVC after shutting out McKendree University, 3-0, this evening in Kansas City, Missouri.
USI trails the all-time series with Rockhurst, 19-1-3, after falling to the Hawks in the regular season, 2-1, in overtime and in the NCAA Division II Tournament, 3-1. The only time the Eagles defeated Rockhurst was at Strassweg Field in 2012.
Following this weekend’s road trip, USI comes back to Strassweg Field for the longest and final homestand of 2017. The Eagles are scheduled to host Drury University October 20; Missouri University of Science & Technology for Senior Day October 22; and McKendree University October 25 for the 2017 regular season finale.
