IS IT TRUE MARCH 15, 2017
IS IT TRUE Jacob Murphy was the Vanderburgh County Burdette Park Director for over 2 years?  …guess what  County Commissioners (Cheryl Musgrave (R) and Ben Shoulders (D)) did to him yesterday?  …the answer is they fired him and replace him with County Commissioner Ben Shoulders (D) campaign manager?  …we been told by people in the know that this decision should be considered an act of political patronage?
IS IT TRUE yesterday Vanderburgh County Commissioners Cheryl Musgrave (R) and Ben Shoulders (D) approved the hiring of former Democratic County Commissioner Pat Tuley to be the new Director of Burdette Park less than an hour after informing 28 year old Burdette Park Director Jacob Murphy that he was fired? … the time frame in which the firing of Jacob Murphy happened and the hiring of Pat and his wife Z Tuley may suggests that a backroom political deal may have been cut before the Commission meeting?  …if this is correct it looks like the State Sunshine laws may have been violated?
IS IT TRUE we wonder why the newly vacant position for Burdette Park Director wasn’t publicly advertised in our local paper? …during the election didn’t Commissioners Musgrave and Shoulders campaigns promise open and transparent government?
IS IT TRUEÂ facts are that former Burdette Park Director Jacob Murphy was a very good Director of Burdette Park? Â …he reduced his Department budget in 2016 by 11%. or $118,000 dollars? Â … Mr. Murphy not only increased park attendance but also introduced some very creative ideas in order to improve Burdette Park? Â …Â recently Mr. Murphy has been holding discussions to create a holiday theme at Burdette Park with a firm from Louisville in hopes that it would create a regional draw to the park and Evansville alike?
IS IT TRUE that Commissioners Musgrave (R) and Shoulders (D) also approved the hiring of Pat Tuley’s wife as part-time Campgrounds Manager for Burdette Park? Â …we hope that Commissioners Musgrave and Shoulders read the Vanderburgh County “Nepotism Policy” statement posted in the employee handbook? Â …they may be in direct violation of this policy because they officially hired a husband and wife team to run Burdette Park?
IS IT TRUE we find it laughable when County Commissioner Shoulder (D) said “removing Murphy from the post was not reflective of how the park was managed”? Â …we wonder what was the real reason why Mr. Shoulders decided to fire Mr. Murphy? Â …we have been told by several long time political office holders in both the city and county that County Commissioner Ben Shoulders (D) is quickly establishing the reputation of being less than truthful and somewhat self serving?
IS IT TRUEÂ could a backroom political deal be the real reason for the firing of a young, qualified and hard working non-political county employee? Â …the footnote on Jacob Murphy resume can now read “I was fired as Burdette Park Director because of politics and without cause”?
IS IT TRUEÂ many people are now saying that the decision of Commissioners Musgrave and Shoulders to fire Burdette Park Director Jacob Murphy reeks of nepotism and political patronage?
IS IT TRUEÂ tonight members of the local FOP will be talking about conducting a “VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE” against Evansville Chief of Police Billy Bolin? …this meeting will be closed to the media and the public? …we are also told if the FOP membership hold such a vote against Chief Bolin and it passes it could be extremely damaging to his professional reputation and future effectiveness as Police Chief?
FOOTNOTE: Todays “READERS POLL” question is: Do you feel that the decision to fire Burdette Park Director Jacob Murphy reeks of nepotism and political patronage?

|
INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill has joined 16 other state attorneys general and two governors in calling for an end to federal overreach in a letter to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt. The letter, led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, characterized the EPA’s regulatory actions during the Obama Administration as unlawful. Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill offered this statement: “Here in Indiana, we have seen firsthand that federal agencies have far too much power to interfere in Hoosiers’ lives,†Hill said. “As Attorney General, I work daily to make sure our state complies with federal law while at the same time protecting state prerogatives from the overreach of the federal government. I am eager to work with my fellow state attorneys general who share my concerns.†|
