IS IT TRUE AUGUST 26, 2015

IS IT TRUE the “Right of the People To Peaceably  Assemble And  Petition The Government For A Redress Of Grievances Is Guaranteed”? …this is the fundamental means by which meaningful change is achieved?

IS IT TRUE when the people fear the Government we have Tyranny!   …When the Government fear the people we have Liberty!  …could this be a good reason for a “Call To Assemble”?

IS IT TRUE we are excited  to announce the City County Observer has facilitated a time,  place and the organization to host the “Call To Assemble” gathering  in a soon to be announced Downtown location?

IS IT TRUE some of our elected officials feel that the practice of firms donating money to their campaigns and  awarding City contracts to them is an legally acceptable practice? …this is “INFLUENCE PEDDLING  which is totally unacceptable?

IS IT TRUE at Monday night City Council meeting the Mayor’s Chief of Staff stated he wasn’t concerned about the Developer of the Downtown Hotel receiving $20 million dollars of taxpayer money without them having  ownership on their investment? …we thought the Mayor’s Chief of Staff was an extreme “Right Wing Conservative Republican” who adheres to strong business principals?

IS IT TRUE at Monday night City Council meeting the Mayor’s Chief of Staff  also said he wasn’t concerned about the Developers of the IU Medical School receiving $57 million dollars of taxpayer money without  ownership on their investment?  …we thought the Mayor’s Chief of Staff was an extreme”Right Wing Conservative Republican” who adheres to strong business principals?

IS IT TRUE our elected officials should understand there are a lot of sub-standard housing in Evansville?   …many home owner’s can’t afford to pay the unexpected water line repair costs because of the new water meter program?…our elected  officials should also realize most people in Evansville are struggling to pay house payments, pay water and sewer bills, pay property taxes, buy clothes for their kids and put food on their table?  …its time our elected officials stop awarding their political buddies with “Pork Barrel” projects?

IS IT TRUE we are hearing the Mayor has put aside about $1 million dollars to help a soon to be named developer to fund a  Downtown housing project for IU Medical students?  …we wonder from what fund the Mayor got this money from to help subsidized this project?

IS IT TRUE we wonder why DMD Director Kelley Coures announced that the McCurdy developer has received the financial loan approval needed to begin the renovating of the vacant and dilapidated Historical  Hotel ?  …it may turn out that Mr. Coures announcement may not be accurate?… we wonder, was this just another “feel good” political announcement to enhance the Mayor’s re-election chances?

IS IT TRUE another “feel good” political announcements concerns the newly renovated exterior of the GREYHOUND BUS terminal? …the  building interior is only a shell and  will cost many hundreds of thousand of  dollars to make it ready for a new business to occupied it?

IS IT TRUE we wonder about the status of the vacant and dilapidated CVS building on North Main?  …if investors from the private sectors spent $535,000 for a vacant and dilapidated building in a questionable part of town they would have had a predetermined use for this property?

IS IT TRUE we wonder who the voters will hold accountable for the defaulted $200,000 loan advancement  given to Earthcare Energy Corp.?
