Governor Pence Statement on September Indiana Employment Report
Indianapolis – Governor Mike Pence today issued the following statement following the news that Indiana’s unemployment has dropped 0.1 percent in September and now stands at 4.5 percent.
“The news that unemployment continues to fall in Indiana is a source of encouragement. More Hoosiers are working than ever before in state history, and the fact that our labor force participation rates are outpacing national averages is a testament to Indiana’s growing economy.
“My administration is committed to building upon this momentum. We’ll continue to pursue policies that will encourage greater economic development in the Hoosier state while making investments in workforce, education and infrastructure. With our strong Hoosier workforce and disciplined fiscal leadership, Indiana can serve as the blueprint for success when it comes to a growing economy.â€

IS IT TRUE OCTOBER 21, 2015
IS IT TRUE in a recent TV interview Mayor Winnecke made the following comments that got our attention?  “I think it’s important to put the debt discussion in perspective, so two-thirds of that debt is related to the water and sewer utility,†said Winnecke.”  “That’s not immediately going to go away.† Winnecke says he’ll reduce the debt through water and sewer rates. He will also have four new city council members to work with if he returns to office”.
IS IT TRUE the statement Mayor Winnecke made in his TV interview simply is telling the taxpayers to get ready for a massive Water and Sewer rate increase if he’s re-elected?
IS IT TRUE we hope that the voters pay more attention to the campaign remarks made by  at large  City Councilmen Jonathan Weaver (D) and than compare them with the statements made by Michelle Mercer (R) and they should get an idea who’s really worthy of your vote?
IS IT TRUE yesterday Evansville Police Chief Billy Bolin competed in a donut hole eating contest at Tuesday’s “Coffee with a Cop” event at Donut Bank? …we wonder how Chief Bolin motivates the EPD rank and file to fight crime on a daily bases when he always doing a “feel good”  public relations stunt in order to enhance his popularity with the masses?  …it’s time for Chief Bolin to roll his shelves up and start becoming a daily in your face crime fighter like he was appointed to do?  …just in case he needs to be reminded we do have a major Crystal Meth problem looming in Evansville proper that needs his full time attention?
IS IT TRUE that 4th Ward City Council candidate Henrietta Jenkins (I) has made some serious allegations that City Councilwoman Connie Robinson is removing her political signs from yards? …Its hard to imagine that Connie Robinson would do such a thing to Ms. Jenkins political signs and we recommend that she recheck her sources? Â …we feel Ms Jenkins would be better served if she would spend her time talking about the real issues of the campaign instead of making unfounded statements that the public really don’t care about?
IS IT TRUE  we received the following statement from EVSC public relations gal Marsha Jackson concerning Jack Schriber’s past employment with the EVSC?  …Ms Jackson stated; “The EVSC is aware through media reports of Jack Schriber’s acknowledgement of an inappropriate relationship with a student in the 1970’s.  Jack Schriber was employed by the EVSC from 1970 to 2007.  He was a consultant to the EVSC from 2007- 2015”?
IS IT TRUE that this years “Outstanding Community Services Award” luncheon at Tropicana-Evansville has only one table left to sell and it shall be completely sold out? …this event officially starts at 12 noon on October 26, 2015? … the last five (5) events were a sellout?
