IS IT TRUE JULY 16, 2015
IS IT TRUE we wonder why benches with advertising are located on city bus stop locations and are now being placed throughout city on major high traffic area without city bus service? …we wonder if these bus stop benches are subsidized by City, State or Federal funding? …if so, are RFP sent out to allow competitive bidding on the City Bus stop benches contract?
IS IT TRUE we hear that the Mayor’s political spin doctors are telling the Fireman and City bus drivers that Mayoral candidate Gail Riecken isn’t for giving them a pay raise this year?  ..Mrs. Riecken has nothing to with giving City employees pay raises because this is a function of  the present City Council and the Mayor? …we predict this kind of silly politics will back fire on the Mayor?
IS IT TRUE a couple of the Mayor’s male supporters were overheard saying that Mayoral Candidate Gail Riecken should stay home an bake cookies and let the men run the city? …we heard that a few females the told men at this social event that for 200 hundred years the City of Evansville has had male Mayors and it’s time for the men to bake some cookies? …one of the more outspoken women said she’s for giving Gail a broom and let her sweep City Hall clean?
IS IT TRUE we hear that the City of Evansville Firefighter’s Union shall be making an official announcement whom they are supporting as the next Mayor of Evansville today at 3:30 pm? …all eyes are on todays Firefighters political endorsement announcement? …we say let the drama begin?
IS IT TRUE the Evansville Firefighters L357 PAC  recently voted to endorse  City Council President Dr. Dan Adams for re-election in the the upcoming City election?  …we can’t wait to find out what other City Council candidates that are going to endorse?
IS IT TRUE we had a couple of CCO readers inquire how they can contact the HUD Office of the Inspector General Fraud Hotline? …they may do so by calling – 1-800-347-3735 or email them at: HOTLINE@hudoig.gov or https://www.hudoig.gov/report-fraud?
IS IT TRUE we would like to repeat the post that two of our readers posted in yesterdays CCO article about our free obit offer?

COMPASSION OVER MONEY
C-CO has embarked on a mission of unselfish Public Service
To offer free publication of obituaries and cause of death information sets them apart from the rest.
Without naming names or making this personal – those who would exploit death by charging exorbitant fees for funeral services or blocking free publication of information about the deceased – his family – accomplishments and tribulations – are among the lowest among us.
This reader is hard-pressed to imagine a time frame or circumstance within which compassion and fairness – are more indicated.
Let those who would resist this opportunity to participate in true sympathy and service to the public – be judged and rewarded accordingly.
You know – and we know – who you are – What Would Jesus Do? …

What is revealed here in this article, is Loads of Pious phoneys who worship at the alter of the Almighty Dollar, while greeting the face of the bereaved with shallow smiles of “understandingâ€.
I hope that families from here forward, consider putting their loved one’s Obituary, in the CCO , or anywhere else for that matter,– at their own Discretion,– and as a statement of Principal.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: IT’S BAIT AND SWITCH
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Â IT’S BAIT AND SWITCHÂ BY PASTOR STEVE ARY
Someone from the audience at City Council last night shouted what was probably the best summary of the evening and on everyone’s minds concerning the downtown hotel when they shouted, “It’s Bait and Switch!!” Unfortunately, the microphones did not seem to pick up when they shouted this, but it is exactly what has taken place.
Councilman Dan McGinn stated that we should just move forward with the current plan because if we continue to deliberate on the unapproved changes made to the hotel plans the property still sits without collecting finances for our city.
I say, if this “Bait and Switch” method is the deception our city accepts, then those who get away with it will continue to do so in every area they can as has already been the case. And since this has been the case so long, it doesn’t matter if the property is collecting money for the city because at the rate we’ve been going the city will never see the money anyway if those in power continue to squander the money and skim off the top with the same shell game of find the missing money.
Again, the rich keep getting richer.
Meanwhile, the city admits they have no additional plan for the 20,000 Evansvillians who will be jobless and foodless starting in October of this year. They hope congress doesn’t cut their funding, but current funding for the homeless and impoverished is not nearly enough. Many homeless cannot even get into a shelter because they are already so full that there’s not even a bed on which to sleep.
If the money in this city was being used properly we wouldn’t be arguing over “Hotel Bait ‘N’ Switch,” and trying to find where missing money went, or why someone made $55,000 off an vacant building and parking lot, but rather it would be finding new solutions for the growing population of the impoverished and homeless in this city.
That’s my take.
God bless,

Bungled recording does not violate constitutional rights
Marilyn Odendahl for www.theindianalawyer.com
An Anderson man’s argument that his due process rights were violated by law enforcement’s failure to record the audio from two interviews with his daughters did not convince the Indiana Court of Appeals.
Robert Seal’s conviction for child molesting, incest and sexual misconduct were affirmed by a unanimous appellate panel in Robert Seal v. State of Indiana, 48A02-1410-CR-775.
Police first attempted to record the interviews with the two girls in the squad car and again, later, at the police station. However, both times for unknown reasons the recordings did not capture the sound.
On appeal, Seal challenged his conviction, partly on the grounds that the state’s failure to preserve the audio recordings of his victims’ interviews violated his constitutional rights. Specifically, he argued his rights were violated under the Sixth and 14 Amendments of the U.S. Constitution and Article 1, Sections 12 and 13 of the Indiana Constitution.
The Court of Appeals pointed out there is no constitutional or statutory requirement that the police record interviews with victims. Also, the panel noted, there is no evidence the state intentionally sabotaged or destroyed the audio recordings.
Seal countered it does not matter whether the state acted in good faith because the interviews contained materially exculpatory evidence. He contended his counsel could have shown the girls were fabricating their stories.
“To the extent that Seal asserts that his rights to effectively cross-examine the witnesses and to present a defense were violated, we note again that the interviews were summarized, both girls testified, and Seal fails to explain how the summaries were inadequate to assist him in cross-examining the girls,†Judge Terry Crone wrote for the court. “Although he sets forth numerous facts that he argues were relevant to the girls’ motives to fabricate, he was not limited in his scope of cross-examining the girls with regard to those facts. In short, we find no federal or state constitutional violations in this regard.â€
