IS IT TRUE that after watching Jordan Baer’s presentation at Monday night’s City Council meeting City Councilman Jonathan Weaver saw something in Mr. Baer’s video that inspired him to file a criminal complaint against Mr. Baer for grave desecration?…this charge is petty, small, and not in the spirit of repairing the neglected cemeteries of Evansville that Baer was there advocating for? …one would wonder why Councilman Weaver did not file a criminal complaint against Evansville’s alpha crypt keeper Chris Cooke for not reporting his closely held secret that graves plots of babies located at Locust Hill cemetery was paved over without public disclosure? …we wonder whom ever paved over the grave plots of babies broke Federal and State laws and should had been be reported by Mr. Cooke to the authorities? …this irrationally vengeful complaint filed by Councilman Weaver  against Mr.Baer is below the dignity of anyone worthy of being an elected representative of any informed electorate?
IS IT TRUE that it seems as though the Courier and Press along with some other local media have come to the realization that the Gallup Poll from 2011 that christened Evansville as the obesity capital of America has turned out to be a good thing?…of course there were wails of denial and attempts to discredit the poll by dozens of public officials when the study was released?…in the world of control system dynamics it is only negative feedback that leads to improvement?…many elected officials and other people of good intention buy limited understanding of the performance process always seemed to think blowing candy and unicorns up a populations rear end and whispering false complements into undeserving ears was the right way to seek improvement?…since Gallup christened Evansville as the obesity capital of America a group of organizations and most notably Mayor Lloyd Winnecke have taken the bull by the horns and created programs to encourage exercise and a better diet?…it is not just by chance that Evansville is no longer the obesity capital of America?…that distinction disappeared because some concerned locals saw the negative feedback as a call to action and did something about it?…this is the best way to deal with negative feedback in every instance and all who have been a part of this are deserving of praise and congratulations?…the CCO hopes that all legitimate negative feedback in the future inspires improvement efforts like this one did?
IS IT TRUE the aforementioned recognition that negative feedback creates a golden opportunity for improvement is something the CCO has been hoping would catch fire for some time?…when we expose things like dilapidated cemeteries, shabby parks, local government spending $250,000 for a house that is worth $60,000, etc. ad nauseum, we really want to see these things fixed?…sometimes that happens but most of the time it does not?…when we make fun and ridicule a financial accounting mistake that exploded because new software was not tested before the old system was scrapped it is in hopes that such foolishness will not be repeated?…when we call for the City of Evansville to have an on staff expertise in vetting projects it is because the failure to have this has resulted in embarrassment and wasted efforts and we want it changed?…today we are encouraged that at least one place that has the motto “give light and the people will find their own wayâ€, has finally seen the light that only can come from a positive response to negative feedback?
IS IT TRUE an unexpected reality of Obamacare is being told through anecdotes in local papers and on social media but the hard numbers reveal the evidence is far more than anecdotal?…CBS News has confirmed with insurance companies across the country that more than two million people are getting notices they no longer can keep their existing plans?…in California, there are 279,000; in Michigan, 140,000; Florida, 300,000; and in New Jersey, 800,000?…those numbers are certain to go even higher?…President. Obama repeatedly said, “If you like your doctor or health care plan, you can keep it?…the White House spin machine has now morphed those hundreds of statements into, “What the president said and what everybody said all along is that there are going to be changes brought about by the Affordable Care Act to create minimum standards of coverage?”…the only two words in the English language that adequately describe this spin are BULL $&#!?
