Boonville Man Airlifted from Crash on Interstate 69

0

  A Boonville man was airlifted from the scene of a crash on Interstate 69 in Pike County Wednesday afternoon.

At 12:58 P.M. (Eastern) Wednesday, 26 year old Brandon Hicks of Boonville was northbound on I-69, just south of the 39 mile marker.  Hicks drifted off of the right shoulder into the gravel in his 2006 Buick minivan, and once back into the roadway, spun out across the lanes of travel and into the median.  The Buick then began rolling over, making one full revolution before coming to rest on its wheels.

Hicks was transported by LifeFlight to St. Vincent Hospital in Evansville, where he was treated for back pain.  The front seat passenger in the Buick was not injured.  Seatbelts were on at the time of the crash, which greatly reduced and prevented further injuries.

The northbound lanes of I-69 were restricted for two hours while Troopers investigated the crash.  State Police was assisted at the scene by the Pike County Sheriff’s Department and Pike County EMS.

IS IT TRUE JUNE 20,2017

12

IS IT TRUE that every once in a while a comment that is so funny and true is left on the City County Observer and yesterday was such a day?…in response to the idiotic design of a street that was 6 inches too narrow and in need of a supplemental pour of concrete CCO poster Delta Bravo contributed the following words of wit:

“RE: Lane width issues on North Main…

I honestly doubt it was inability to read a ruler that caused this issue. I blame the ‘real-world’ traffic studies which were no doubt were conducted prior to final planning and implementation. Any reasonable traffic observer in Jimtown would conclude that average traffic loading on North Main (per block) consists of 2-3 scooters and 1 stolen bicycle. Include a 36″ safety margin to account for an abandoned shopping cart on the side of the road or an enhanced collapse zone for the vacant, burned out houses lining the street, and there you have it…”

IS IT TRUE that Delta Bravo was seconded and supplemented by a few other posters on the local flavor of North Main from the torn down restaurants to the width of an arse moving through Evansville while straddling a scooter?…this particular oversight and the need to do a repair is comical and almost flies in the face of logic?…we wonder who in the heck in a position of knowledge and responsibility would get the width of a road wrong in modern day America where everything in life is predetermined or legislated?…the answer is the same moronic bureaucracy that messed up the base paths on a little league field and pour concrete too thick for a truck to get under an existing bridge?…the real insult to Evansville taxpayers is that the project is still asserted to be under budget?…the powers that be must have budgeted to mess something up big time?…there is nothing like coming home and bragging about buying a $30 item for $45 when you budgeted $50?…some folks are dumb enough to believe they saved $5 for such a fiasco?…so goes the public works in Evansville, Indiana?

IS IT TRUE there was one project that got done according to budget with very few snafus and that was the Ford Center?…the Ford Center was budgeted to spend $127.5 Million borrowed dollars and it exactly achieved its goal?…all was well at the corner of Main Street and MLK Boulevard until it was opened for business?…the wheels fell off of the bus known as Ford Center when it came time to manage it to the pro forma that it was sold on?…the building that Jon Boy built was advertised to break even and cover its cost in the first year but now in the 6thyear it is still draining the taxpayer coffers by $10 Million per year?…that losing that much money would make the Ford Center worth a NEGATIVE $100 Million Dollars in a financial valuation report?…The City of Evansville spent $127.5 Million on a building that loses $10 Million per year?…that is pretty darn hard to do?…we shall see how the subsidy hotel does when the numbers come out?…we may all be glad that the taxpayers don’t own any of the Doubletree for the $20 Million investment because it may come with a capital call attached to it?…the Ford Center is the gift that keeps on taking?

Todays “READERS POLL” question is: Do you feel that someone should be held accountable for the major mistake made in redesigning the $18 million dollar North Main project?

Indy mulls taxi rule changes in era of Uber, Lyft

The number of licensed cab drivers in Indianapolis and other cities throughout the state has dropped steadily since the entrance of ride-hailing services Lyft and Uber, and the remaining drivers and cab companies want help. Many Indiana cities impose a number of regulations on cab companies but relatively few rules on Lyft and Uber drivers, thanks largely a state law that allows ride-sharing services to operate without being subject to local ordinances regulating taxi cabs. IBJ’s Susan Orr reports that rather than find ways to impose more restrictions on Uber and Lyft, cities like Indianapolis are instead considering deregulating taxi cabs.


County entities did not owe duty under foreseeability analysis

A southern Indiana county and its parks and recreation and health departments did not owe a duty to a man who contracted a deadly infection while at a county park. In July 2012, Waylon Abel was visiting West Boggs Park, which is jointly owned by Daviess and Martin counties, when he was exposed to an amoeba, contracted a waterborne brain infection known as primary amoebic meningoencephalitis and died from the infection. Waylon’s estate filed a complaint alleging negligence for failing to test the water in West Boggs Lake and warn the public about the amoeba. The Indiana Court of Appeals held “there is no designated evidence that the County or the Parks Board knew or by the exercise of reasonable care would have discovered the existence of the (amoeba)…and the County and Parks Board did not owe Abel a duty under this analysis.”


Senate bill would ban use of tax-exempt bonds for stadiums

Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ) and James Lankford (R-OK) introduced S. 1342, which would prohibit tax-exempt bonds from being used to finance professional sports stadiums. The bill would not prevent state and local governments from bidding and offering other economic incentives to sports teams. It mirrors H.R. 811 introduced by Rep. Steve Russell (R-OK) in March.


Indy to consider $15.2M in bonds for downtown projects

Indianapolis officials on Monday will consider issuing bonds to contribute $15.2 million to two downtown development projects: the conversion of the city’s oldest African-American church into a hotel complex, and construction of a five-story apartment and retail development near the base of Massachusetts Avenue. In the larger of the two proposals, the committee would authorize issuing about $8 million in bonds for the $36 million hotel project. The plans call for two hotels to be housed in separate seven-story towers on the property. The five-story mixed-use project by the base of Massachusetts Avenue call for 126 apartments ranging in size from 553 square feet to 1,631 square feet; 20,000 square feet of retail; and 302 below-ground parking spaces.
