IS IT TRUE there has been a pretty big dust up over emails sent by Vanderburgh County Republican Party Chairman Wayne Parke to a certain Precinct Committee person who is openly supportive of Bruce Ungenthiem’s campaign to become the Republican candidate for Vanderburgh County Commissioner in the fall general election? …Mr. Parke has openly supported incumbent Marsha Abell and has refused to provide any information concerning the Vanderburgh County mailing list for the Republican party to Mr. Ungenthiem? … a search of the rules of the Indiana Republican Party clearly states when a Precinct Committee Person can be removed for supporting an opposing candidate and it is not something that is even possible before the primary? …the actual words in Rule 1-6 that clearly put Mr. Parke’s oppressive actions against Mr. Ungenthiem’s candidacy totally out of line?
“Rule 1-6. Each and every member and officer of any Party Committee or Subcommittee shall be a true representative Republican, in good standing in the Party. If an individual openly supports a candidate after the Primary Election, who is opposing a Republican Candidate, they are not in good standing in the Party and may be removed for cause under Rules 3-22 and 3-23. (See Rule 1-8)â€
IS IT TRUE that Mr. Parke’s assertions that his personal support of Commissioner Abell constitutes an official State Party endorsement is unraveling as completely untrue? …his further assertions that Abell and her husband’s contributions to the party are deterministic in which primary candidate is the best candidate is also a crock of bull? …while Mr. Parke seems to be exercise some imaginary authority with the audacity of a southern sheriff who says “I am the law around hereâ€, the reality of the situation is that the Republican primary for the candidacy has turned from a routine campaign to a bully fest to rival anything the Vanderburgh County Democrats did in the 2011 Mayoral election in their PINKY SHAKE meeting that gave the election to current Mayor Lloyd Winnecke?
IS IT TRUE that The Vanderburgh County Republican Party Chairman Wayne Parke has also endorsed County Council member Pete Swaim over his GOP challenger John Montrastelle in the upcoming GOP primary?         … don’t be surprised after the primary that supporters of  both Bruce Ungethiem and John Montrastelle make a public call for Wayne Parke to resign as party Chairman?
IS IT TRUE it is now the two week anniversary of the night that the Evansville City Council failed to start the process to rescind the $4.8 Million loan to Earthcare Energy LLC that they were tricked and intimidated into passing two years ago?…it was a mistake and a monument to complacency that the City Council was silent on this subject just days after the Loan Administration Board extended the $200,000 loan to Earthcare on no basis at all except that Earthcare has no money?…every day that this loan approval is not rescinded is a day that the Winnecke Administration has the full authority to write a check to these guys?…we encourage the City Council to wear their big boy pants to next Monday night’s meeting (March 31) so as to avoid being fools for the 3rd Fool’s Day in a row?
IS IT TRUE that the round of 64 in the NCAA basketball tournament has come to an end with ZERO of the 10 division 1 teams in Indiana getting into the tourney and certainly none joining the sweet 16?…the announcers for the game between Kentucky and Kansas State rubbed salt in that wound by reminding us that Kansas only has 3 D-1 teams and all three are in the tournament and that 3 of Kentucky’s six D-1 teams made the tournament?…we hope that the state of basketball affairs in Indiana is not an indicator of things like the economy and the education system?…all three of these could use some serious improvement?
IS IT TRUE there are a couple of Indiana artifacts in the NCAA tournament with IU star Steve Alford coaching the resurgent UCLA Bruins and former University of Evansville coach Jim Crews who led the St. Louis Billikens into the round of 32 before falling to the Louisville Cardinals?…that some say that both Crews and Alford were shunned by Evansville and IU?…these are just two more local people who for some reason could not crack the old boys networks and have taken their brilliance elsewhere?…the last NCAA appearance by the Purple Aces was during the end of Jim Crews tenure as coach?
