IS IT TRUE we are hearing that crossover Republicans, union members and select Democrats are being told to vote for only one candidate in the At Large democratic primary? …the name of the At Large democratic candidate is none other than Jonathon Weaver? …there are 4 Democrats running in the upcoming primary but only 3 will be elected to run in the General election as Democrats? …Wayne Parke, the Republican Party Chairman has endorsed Weaver and encouraged party faithful to single vote Weaver, just like the Union Bosses and Winnecke Democrats?

IS IT TRUE the reason why the $2.5 million dollar advancement that was given to the City by the Evansville Water and Sewer Department in December , 2014 wasn’t on the agenda is because it was allegedly put on the agenda as a Consent item? …the stated rational why this request was not on the official agenda but as a Consent item is because the Water and Sewer Department books it on the accrual basis?  …strangely enough, when one City Council Member went to the Utility Department yesterday to seek a copy of the consent agenda, within minutes Chief of Staff to Mayor Winnecke Steve Schaeffer appeared to indicate the Consent Agenda was not available and refused to produce it?  …the day before City Controller said this transfer was made only after board approval, but NONE in the Utility department could produce one sheet of paper confirming this approval?  … did the Board ever really make this approval?   …where is the official record of the approval? …why was Schaeffer called down to the Utility Department out of breath and giving the explanation for the lack of approval?  … do we have our very own “Consentgate”?

IS IT TRUE that ERC Commissioner Cheryl Musgrave expressed concern regarding the City of Evansville’s ability to afford the hotel at the ERC meeting on Tuesday? …that her concern was the cash flow coverage of bond allocations and the available revenues were not enough? …that when compared to the 2015 budget for expenditures for the City, coverage is way below even 1%? …that any person with a budget and some common sense who saw this would concur there is a high likelihood of no money in the bank?   …the City’s own Financial Consultant admitted “It will be very tight”?

IS IT TRUE that Mayoral appointee Schopmeyer condemned Ms. Musgrave for asking valid questions for the funding of the downtown Hotel and IU Medical School? ….that instead of Mayor Winnecke or his City Controller attending the meeting on such an important position Mr. Coures was sent to take the hits on this important financial issue? ….that after the meeting Mr. Coures then also proceeded to attack Ms. Musgrave for asking poignant questions? …. that the theme of the Winnecke administration seems to be one of arrogance and forcing this project down the throats of those that will have to pay for it?

IS IT TRUE that 6th Ward City Councilman Al Lindsay and his opponent Jim Brinkmeyer have both accepted invitations to appear on Tri State Voices in an upcoming show?  …this will be the only opportunity for both candidates to appear on a televised show and give the viewer’s their positions on the issues? …this is a very highly contested race and should be an excellent program?
