HAIRBALL – A ROCK & ROLL EXPERIENCE MARCH 11

Evansville, IN- On March 11, head over to Victory Theatre and take yourself back to the 80’s and 90’s when The Victory was Evansville’s premier night club. You asked for it, and My 105.3 WJLT and Victory Theatre are answering with HAIRBALL – A BOMBTASTIC CELEBRATION OF ARENA ROCK. Take yourself back to the 80’s and turn Victory Theatre back into The Dungeon II for a nostalgic reunion with old friends and great music. Tickets go on sale Friday, January 13 at 10 AM.

Hairball is more than just a band, and certainly more than just a tribute band!

Bands put on concerts – HAIRBALL puts on an event. HAIRBALL is a Rock & Roll experience you won’t soon forget. The lights, sound, smoke, fire, bombs and screaming hoards of avid fans…to merely call it a concert would be like calling Mount Rushmore a roadside attraction!

Vocalists Joe, Steve and Bobby lead the band through a 2+ hour, mind-blowing, and drop dead accurate homage to some of the biggest arena acts in the world. Van Halen, KISS, Motley Crue, Queen, Journey and Aerosmith are but a few of the acts fans will see brought to life. The HAIRBALL stage becomes an entirely new rock concert before your very eyes countless times throughout the night.

Don’t confuse HAIRBALL with the countless “80’s Tribute” bands across the country. HAIRBALL is an experience, an attitude and an expression of music that isn’t simply a retro flashback. It’s a way of life, and it’s not going anywhere soon!

Governor Holcomb Signs Day 1 Executive Order Creating New Position to Attack Indiana’s Drug Epidemic

0

 

INDIANAPOLIS – Hours after taking office, Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb signed 11 executive orders, including one that creates a new position to lead Indiana’s efforts to curb the drug crisis: Indiana’s Executive Director for Drug Prevention, Treatment and Enforcement. The executive order makes official one of Governor Holcomb’s priorities outlined last week as part of his Next Level Legislative Agenda—to attack the state’s drug epidemic.

“Since 1999, Indiana has seen a 500 percent increase in drug overdose deaths. This is an epidemic tragically affecting Hoosiers from every walk of life in every part of our state,” Governor Holcomb said. “This new position will provide the urgent and concerted attention required to effectively reduce the impact drug addiction is having on families, individuals and children.”

Governor Holcomb named Jim McClelland as Indiana’s first Executive Director for Drug Prevention, Treatment and Enforcement. McClelland retired in 2015 as CEO of Goodwill Industries of Central Indiana, where he spent 41 years working to elevate the lives of Indiana’s most vulnerable populations.

As Executive Director for Drug Prevention, Treatment and Enforcement, McClellend will serve as the chairman of Indiana’s Commission to Combat Drug Abuse, coordinate and direct the drug-related activities of nine Indiana state agencies, and measure results and outcomes of state programs to reduce addiction. McClelland will report directly to Governor Holcomb.

In addition to creating this new position, Governor Holcomb has laid out several other goals this legislative session designed to attack the drug epidemic, including giving local communities the authority to establish syringe exchange programs, enhancing prevention with limits on opioid prescriptions, and creating tougher penalties for those who commit pharmacy robberies.

Governor Holcomb signed a total of 11 executive orders today. Read all 11 in the attached PDF document.

IS IT TRUE JANUARY 9, 2017

10

IS IT TRUE that our 8th District House of Representatives member Larry Bucshon participated in the secret vote last week to gut the independent ethics committee of it’s powers?…this vote was taken in secret with a very small number of house members voting but it actually passed?…after learning of this President Elect Donald Trump joined a large number of Democrats in condemning such an action as being against the principle of transparency?…the Republicans in the House of Representatives did see the error of their ways and eventually dropped this like a hot potato?…Representative Bucshon however has never let his constituents know how he voted?…that in itself is a testament to secrecy and is inconsistent with am open door policy?…we can safely assume since The Honorable Representative Bucshon did not let us know how he voted that there is a very high probability that he voted against ethical oversight and transparency?…this is deeply disappointing?

IS IT TRUE this act by Mr. Bucshon reminded us of a time in 2009 when former Mayor Weinzapfel corralled his cronies into secretly voting to take away the Homestead tax credit from the homeowners of Vanderburgh County?…this meeting was what led to the fall of the former Mayor and paved the way for the crisis within the Vanderburgh County Democrat Party that put a Republican in the Mayors office?…one would think that politicians would learn from past mistakes but in Larry Bucshon’s case it doesn’t look like he learned a thing from the failures of the sneaky move that former Mayor Weinzapfel made?…on the bright side, that closed door sneak feat was the birth of SNEGAL?

IS IT TRUE we wonder if Congressman Larry Bucshon and his family spent time at his condo in Newburgh during the Holidays?  …or did Mr. Bucshon and his family spent the Holidays at his multi-million home  in a Washington, D C suburb?  …this situation reminds us of another Indiana politician that had a condo in his home District and an expensive family home in Washington, DC?

IS IT TRUE there is now another plan being hatched to move the nursing students from IVY Tech to the forthcoming downtown Medical Campus?…while this may serve some agenda to get more bodies packed into downtown Evansville during the day, it will also create an underutilization at what is very new IVY Tech campus on the north side?…these students will not have their learning experience enhanced one bit by this move but they will incur the expenses associated with parking and the hassles that downtown is famous for?…moving these nursing students won’t create any jobs just like moving from Roberts Stadium to Ford Center didn’t?…moving is just moving and it seems as though all one needs to do to forget such a simple reality is get elected to office?

IS IT TRUE we are please to remind you that this year is the 50th anniversary of the North High School Indiana State Basketball Championship?…that was when a championship was really an overall championship and not just a class championship?…it is also the 25th anniversary of the fall of the USSR?…we all need to examine why that happened?

IS IT TRUE don’t be surprised to read that the Evansville City Council and the Vanderburgh County Commission will have some adjustments in leadership positions for 2017?

FOOTNOTE:  Today “Readers Poll” question is: Do you feel that current Vanderburgh County GOP Party Chairman Wayne Parke should run for re-election?
