Steve Davis is Supporting Gail Riecken for Mayor

6

steve DavisCity Council Candidate for Evansville’s 2nd Ward, Steve Davis, released a statement today  to the CCO announcing his support for Democratic Mayoral candidate Gail Riecken.  We welcome any other candidate to send us a letter of endorsement to either Mayoral candidate.  We shall post it without opinion or editing.

When asked what prompted the endorsement of Mrs. Riecken for Mayor, Davis replied, “I’m a Democrat, and I believe in the principles of the Democratic Party. One wouldn’t think it necessary for a Democrat to specify their preference for Mayor, but in my race it is necessary and distinguishes me from my opponent. It is not a secret who my opponent supported in 2011 and who she has blindly followed for over three years.”

Democrat Gail Riecken threw her hat in the ring in January of this year for the Mayor’s race, and is a three-term State Representative and former City Council member. In describing his passion to see Riecken elected, Davis stated, “Riecken is an impressive candidate with the proven track record to lead this community out of debt and into economic prosperity. I fully stand behind her, and as I walk the 2nd Ward I talk about her to voters. I support her now and will continue to work for her election after the primary, win or lose. I’m committed to new ideas and seeing a change in leadership on City Council and for this Community.”

FROM 1215 TO 2015 by Jim Redwine

(Week of 20 April 2015)

FROM 1215 TO 2015

The Supreme Allied Commander of World War II, Dwight David Eisenhower, as President issued the following proclamation:

“I … designate May 1, 1958 (and each May 1 thereafter) as Law Day U.S.A. I urge the people of the United States to observe the designated day with appropriate ceremonies and activities; I especially urge the legal profession, the press and the radio, television and motion picture industries to promote and to participate in the observance of that day.”

 

Eisenhower grew up in Kansas and graduated from West Point in 1915. After serving during three wars, WWI, WWII and Korea, he knew the evil of might over right better than most. He also knew law was the best weapon against tyranny.

English noblemen set the standard for the rule of law in 1215 on the plain at Runnymeade when they forced King John to sign the Magna Carta, which is this year’s national Law Day theme. America’s law-givers looked first to the Magna Carta for guidance in opposing King George III.

When President Eisenhower proclaimed May 1 as Law Day he intended to contrast the May Day military celebration of the Soviet Union to America’s celebration of law. In Posey County for over thirty years the Bar Association has joined in the national commemoration by sponsoring mock trials involving our county schools.

This year the high school Mock Trial will take place on April 24, 2015 in the courtroom of the Posey Circuit Court in Mt. Vernon and involves a competition between students from North Posey High School and Mt. Vernon High School trying to persuade a jury composed of real Posey County Attorneys to agree with their interpretation of a hypothetical case. The trial will begin at 9:00 am and is open to the public.

The fictional case is fashioned on a matter currently working its way through the courts of Utah. A plaintiff in that case is seeking the right to sue herself, her real object is her insurance company, for her own negligence that caused her husband’s death.

North Posey government teacher, Mike Kuhn, who has participated in every one of the mock trials, and North Posey student advisor, Michelle Parrish, are preparing their students to present the Plaintiffs’ position.

Student attorneys, Gabe Mayer and Madison Feldhake, will call plaintiffs Hagar Handley (Maddie Koester) and Harley Handley (Hunter Lehman), treating physician Milburn Stone (Holt Will), psychiatrist Hydra Janis (Jessica Wilkins), economic specialist Dagwood Bumstead (Alex McAlister) and automotive expert Mona Lisa Vito (Kendall Wilson). Eli Schapker will be an alternate and the student reporter is Bri Owens.

Mt. Vernon teachers Lucy Steinhart, Tim Alcorn and maybe even long-time advisor Rick Johnson, are working with the defendants.

Attorneys Logan Reeves and Hunter Wilson have the following witnesses: insurance executive Bernard Rothchild (Justin Trevino), sheriff’s deputy Cagney Lacey (Katie Tucker), Emergency Medical Technician Digger O’Dell (Austin Stallings), psychologist Hope Weller (Caitlin Gross), political scientist Mickey Disney (Tyler Sellers) and a friend of plaintiffs, Rosie McDonnell (Erin Garman).

Superior Court Judge, Brent Almon, will preside and Posey County Bar President, William Bender, will be the Jury Foreperson.

Please join the Bar, the schools and the hardworking staff of the Posey Circuit Court in celebrating right over might.

BREAKING NEWS: RIECKEN CAMPAIGN RAISES $111,445 FOR MAYORAL BID

11

 Pre-Primary Number Reflects Broad Base of Support

Evansville, IN – State Representative Gail Riecken today announced that her campaign has received $111,445 in contributions in the three-month period since she announced her bid for Evansville Mayor.

This strong fundraising number is a testament to the fact that her message of fiscal responsibility and transparency is garnering wide support from the public. These are the themes she identified at her announcement as the cornerstones of her campaign.

The contribution total is especially impressive in light of the fact that Riecken has been out of the city serving in the General Assembly at Indianapolis throughout this filing period

A breakdown of the donations shows 71% of the individual donors are from Evansville and 60% gave $100 or less.

“I appreciate the strong support our campaign has received from friends in all areas  of Evansville,” said Riecken.  “In just a few months since I announced my candidacy, we shattered our fundraising goal, thanks to those who are drawn to our message of fiscal constraint and an open city government that earns public confidence. We will be talking more about making our neighborhoods safe again and sound progressive planning that benefits all residents.”
