IS IT TRUE JANUARY 18, 2016
IS IT TRUE we are hearing that our extremely popular State Auditor Suzanne Crouch may be selected as Governor Pence new running mate when his Lt. Government resigns to accept the President of IVY TECH position?  …if this happens Democratic candidate for Governor John Gregg should forget trying to win Vanderburgh County?
IS IT TRUE every now and than our posters make allegations that local elected officials allegedly accepts free services, bribes or special favors, bribes, conflict of interest that get our attention?  …we asked our #1 poster Pressanykey to do research on the procedure for recalling elected officials who misuse their office for self gain?
IS IT TRUE Pressanykey research cane up with; Â “Indiana does not have a procedure for recalling elected officials, but it does have a statutory method for initiating impeachment proceedings against local officials? Â …the County grand jury and court system can conducts the proceedings and subsequent removal. {IC 5-8-1 and IC 35-50-5-1.1} of elected official who accept bribes or special favors? Â …any official convicted of official misconduct, bribery, or conflict of interest may be removed from office by a court? Â …the court may also issue an order rendering the person ineligible from holding public office for a period of up to ten years. {IC 35-50-5-1-1}”?
IS IT TRUE if anyone have allegations of misconduct, bribery, or conflict of interest concerning any elected or appointed official they would have to contact the local County Prosecutor first?  … he would decide whether to present the information to the County Grand Jury, and things would proceed from there depending on the Grand Jury’s return on the issue?
IS IT TRUE yesterday one of our readers also made an allegation against a local law enforcement officer that he alleges have been taken on several free paid vacation trips?  …our reader also alleged that the person providing the free vacation trip to a local law enforcement official does business with the city?  …after reading the State Guide To County Government it looks like the allegation against  law enforcement official can be proven he may have broken State Law?
IS IT TRUE the link to the GUIDE TO INDIANA COUNTY GOVERNMENT concerning Official Misconduct, Conflict of Interest, Ghost Employment and Removal from office published on page 12 -14 posted below so you can file your complaint with the right authority?

YESTERYEAR-Evansville Riverfront, 1913
This view of Evansville’s riverfront was probably photographed from the top of the Pagoda shelter house in Sunset Park, which had been built a year earlier. City officials were attempting to develop and beautify the park, but the weather was not cooperating. In that year, flood waters reached Riverside Drive and deposited debris along the riverfront. A cannon from the Civil War era is still visible near the boat at left, and on the far right is the Gilbert Sanitarium, which was acquired by the Hadi Shriners in the early 1920s.
FOOTNOTE: We want to thank Patricia Sides, Archivist of Willard Library for contributing this picture that shall increase people’s awareness and appreciation of Evansville’s rich history. If you have any historical pictures of Vanderburgh County or Evansville please contact please contact Patricia Sides, Archivist Willard Library at 812) 425-4309, ext. 114 or e-mail her at www.willard.lib.in.us.
