IS IT TRUE there is plenty of room for average men to survive in politics but no room for average women to be successful?  …this is why strong women must led to survive but men can continue to be average to survive in politics?

IS IT TRUE we hear City Controller Russ Lloyd Jr. is telling everybody that the poll numbers for Mayoral Candidate Gail Riecken aren’t looking good?  …is this the same Russ Lloyd Jr. that told us last month that the City budget accounts are in very good shape?  …is this the same Russ Lloyd Jr. last month ask City Council for a $8 million bailout loan so he could pay bills and make payroll because of budget shortfalls?  ..is this the same former Mayor Russ Lloyd  Jr that stated his political polls showed he would  beat Jonathan Weinzapfel by a 9% margin on election day? …that Lloyd Jr lost to Weinzapfel  by over 9,000 votes?  …you understand why we give little creditability to Mr. Lloyd Jr statements about Gail Riecken?

IS IT TRUE we wonder why the EPD spokesperson encouraged local TV reporters do a story concerning the location of  the EPD  Swat Team at the Fall Festival?  … this type of sensitive police surveillance activity should be treated confidential and withheld from the public view for obvious safety reasons?  …we suggest in the future that the EPD spokesperson stop compromising members of the Swat Team safety by releasing confidential and sensitive police surveillance activity to the media?

IS IT TRUE we would like commend the Evansville Police Department rank and file police offices for doing an outstanding job is keeping the Fall Festival safe?  …we also commend the good work of the members of the Evansville Fire Department and the EMS  did to help insure the safety of those attending this outstanding community event?

IS IT TRUE we were sent pictures showing EPD Chief Billy Bolin handing out “Winnecke  For Mayor” balloons at the Fall Festival?   …it was alleged  that Chief Bolin did this type of political activity all week long while on active duty?  …we find this hard to believe that a highly trained and ethical professional would do any partisan politicking while on duty?  …we also told the individuals who contacted us about this issue that we are sure that Chief Bolin took some of his vacation time or was officially off duty when he actively campaign for the Mayors re-election at the Fall Festival?

IS IT TRUE who ever came up with the idea that required on duty police officers  to hold “Hug Me” signs at the Fall Festival could had potentially put our officers in a dangerous situation?  …all it would had taken was one mentally deranged  person hugging a police officer and grabbing his gun or taser during the process which could had cause a major safety problems for the masses?  …we do like the concept of asking citizens to give our “Cops a Hug” but the officers shouldn’t have any weapon or taser  on their person while engaging in this activity?

IS IT TRUE we also feel that  the majority of the “Rank and File” Evansville Police Officers and Evansville Firefighters  and EMS all “do a kick ass” job for the citizens of Evansville and deserve a “HUG” every now and then?

IS IT TRUE last week local GOP Chairmen Wayne Parke complained about how the voter registration activity is being conducted at local Nursing Homes?  …we think Chairman Park should be more concerned about how the voters registration and absentee voting  at local grave yards?

IS IT TRUE that our current “Readers Poll” as the following question?  …Do you feel that it was wise for EPD Public Relations Officer allowing local media to do a story concerning the location of the EPD Swat Team conducting sensitive surveillance activity at the Fall Festival?

IS IT TRUE we urge you to start reading articles in our new SPORTS section at the bottom right side of our publication?  ,,,don’t forget to view our extremely interesting Political Cartoons posted at the bottom of this publication?
