IS IT TRUE AUGUST 4 2015

22
IS IT TRUE this is an extremely complicated transaction concerning the purchases by DMD/ERC,  of properties and buildings on North Main Street?  …take your time and read this post very carefully?  …once you finish reading it,  you should get an idea of the lack proper business planning that went into spending about  $907,200.00  of your hard earned tax dollars?
IS IT TRUE  the DMD/ERC paid $246,750.00 for the former Integra Bank property located  401/415 North Main?  …DMD/ERC’S original plans were to tear down the building and trade it to the owners of the Subway for the Knotty Pine lot on 506 North Main that DMD/ERC paid $19,950.00 for?  …the plan was,  once the old Knotty Pine building was purchased and torn down,  Subway owners would buy the Knotty Pine site?  …plans for Subway to  build at the Integra Bank site fell  apart?  … today’s plans are to relocate  Subway to the Knotty Pine site?
IS IT TRUE  now DMD/ERC are  not planning to tear down the Integra Bank building,  but  want to  put Echo Housing business offices in that building?  …DMD/ERC  are allowing customers of Turoni’s to continue to park at the old Integra Bank Building on a first-come first-serve basis?
IS IT TRUE the end result in this complicated  transaction is that there will not be a public parking lot at the Knotty Pine site with Subway relocating there and Echo and Turoni’s will be using the Integra Bank parking lot?  …it looks like there will probably not be much more new parking  space for adjoining businesses as a result of the $266,700.00 worth of building and land purchases by the DMD/ERC?
IS IT TRUE DMD/ERC  paid $561,750.00 for the vacant CVS  building located at 800 North Main? …DMD/ERC plans were to use this location as a Community Center with Echo Housing having its business offices in part of the building?   …DMD/ERC officials are now saying  they bought this building to tear it down?   …it would be foolish to pay that kind of money for a vacant and dilapidated  building in a questionable part of town,  just to tear it down,  creating a parking lot for 22 cars ?
 IS IT TRUE the DMD/ERC’S new  strategy is for the CVS building is to tear it down for parking?  …if DMD/ERC gets 22 parking spaces from this site the taxpayers shall be paying  $25,534 per space.?
IS IT TRUE the other lots listed in this DMD/ERC  building and land acquisition summary are two (2) parking lots  located at 600/604 North Main that  DMD/ERC paid $15,750.00 for?  …this property was owned by Apostolic World Church?  … the Apostolic World Church building is presently is listed for sale and don’t be surprised to hear that DMD/ERC has  made them an offer to purchase their  building at an inflated  price?
IS IT TRUE that DMD/ERC paid $63,000.00 for the lot behind Gelhausen Paint,  located at 14 West Iowa and   …DMD/ERC agreed to give them  back the property in exchange for letting the public park there during the week?
IS IT TRUE that the DMD/ERC’S total for the original North Main plan was $907,200.00?  …that would have provided about 114 parking spots?

Breaking News : City Councilman John Friend Is Asking For Resignation of Chief Bolin

22

As a member and leadership of City Council, I have reached the conclusion that Chief Bolin’s actions or lack of proper investigatory procedures has dealt serious consequences to the taxpayers’ of our community.  Not only the tort claim issue and legal expense associated with the court action but a more hideous aspect, now the world knows that our City must totally disregard the civil rights of individuals, their inherit rights under the 4th amendment and knowing that one can’t live peacefully in their homes without the treat of undo and irresponsible actions of their police department, especially the elderly . . my Lord, Ms Milan is an elderly lady and the child was of tender years . .the two sectors of our society that depends on law enforcement to provide and defend their rights and safety, but as the Seventh Circuit clearly demonstrated in their review, our EPD failed miserably.  I have reviewed the video tape not only the immediate action of our EPD but the preamble to the event which confounds understanding . . the moments just prior to the invasion, the participates appear to be in a festive mood which is concerning and troubling.  Why are they festive? Well, the culture of festivity must  lay on the threshold of our leadership which is Chief Bolin and ultimately our Mayor.

Consequently, in order to restore faith and confidence in our police department and support the rank and file, Chief Bolin must step down immediately and if our Mayor refuses to ask for his resignation, this is paramount of condoning the lack of leadership of Chief Bolin . . .this is regrettable but necessary to restore the confidence that our EPF once processed.

Breaking News :City Councilwoman Brinkerhoff-Riley Call for Chief Bolin to Resign 

14

 

City Councilwoman for Evansville’s Third Ward, Stephanie Brinkerhoff-Riley, called today for Chief Bolin to resign his position as the Chief of the Evansville Police Department.

In making the call, Brinkerhoff-Riley stated, “The 7th Circuit decision that the EPD’s mistakes during the Milan raid were not reasonable and don’t warrant immunity should be the final leadership mistake made by Chief Bolin. A SWAT team is potentially lethal to those they encounter. We cannot afford the potential for another raid that is not warranted. While Chief Bolin is a likeable guy, he is not qualified as an administrator. The closing or planned closings of police stations, pulling patrol officers off of assigned geographic areas to unfamiliar territory for runs, refusing to have a consistent policy on the release of body camera footage, and internal inconsistencies that have led to the low morale of officers are some of the mistakes made. The police department deserves better leadership.”

State Requests Secretarial Disaster Declaration for 53 Indiana Counties Due to Crop Damage, Losses Caused by Flooding

0

 

 

Indianapolis – In a letter sent earlier this week to U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Thomas Vilsack, Governor Mike Pence requested a secretarial disaster declaration for 53 of Indiana’s 92 counties due to crop damage and losses caused by flooding and excessive rain since May 1 of this year.

 

“Recent and unprecedented heavy rainfall across our state has had a significant impact on the yield of Indiana crops and our Hoosier farmers,” said Governor Pence. “As promised, our administration has been closely monitoring this situation and, in coordination with the Indiana Farm Service Agency, has determined federal emergency loan assistance is both prudent and warranted. Hoosier farmers can be assured that we will continue to keep a close eye on the long-term effects of this year’s heavy rains and, as needed, work to identify additional help for those in our state’s agriculture industry.”

 

In 50 counties, reported crop damage and losses have met or exceeded 30 percent of a crop, and three counties have experienced a significant number of damages and losses to multiple crops. Under a disaster designation, low-interest emergency loans will be made available to all producers suffering losses in that county, as well as in counties contiguous to a disaster-designated county. A list of all 53 counties can be found attached.

 

Lt. Governor Sue Ellspermann, Secretary of Agriculture in Indiana, and Julia A. Wickard, Indiana FSA State Executive Director, joined the Governor in signing the letter.

 

“The record-setting rainfall this summer throughout much of Indiana has caused many Hoosier farmers to experience significant crops losses,” said Lieutenant Governor Sue Ellspermann. “Fields are flooded by overflowing streams or covered by standing water from drenching rain.  We are very grateful for the strong cooperation of the Farm Service Administration in expediting this special Secretarial disaster declaration request.”

 

“It is important this request is a joint effort by the state and federal government, and I appreciate the working relationship we have in the State of Indiana,” said Julia A. Wickard, Indiana FSA State Executive Director.

 

Hoosier farmers are encouraged to continue to submit crop damage reports to their county FSA offices as the disaster event is ongoing and continued monitoring is necessary to determine if additional counties should be added to the declaration request.
