IS IT TRUE October 16, 2013

IS IT TRUE it is now been made public that Evansville Fireman George Madison Jr. who was pulled over by the EPD for running a stop sign on a bicycle has taken the first official step to sue the City of Evansville over the incident that took on a life of its own complete with foul language, broken cameras, and an overheated City Council meeting?…the right to sue for damages is one that Mr. Madison has chosen to pursue to see relief for his perception of this unfortunate incident?…perhaps if the body cameras had worked and a law that often goes unenforced would not have been the reason for the pull-over this pending lawsuit would not be facing the financially strapped City of Evansville?…we are sure this is nothing that a few parks and a skateboard ramp won’t remedy?…we emphasize once again that failure to train and maintain has put the City of Evansville in an awkward position again?…pissing away money on trivialities like parks and games when the fundamentals are not secure is irresponsible and quite frankly makes all of Evansville look SILLY?

IS IT TRUE we also learned that the empty lot where Roberts Stadium was will not be submitted as a site for the IU Medical School?…this knowledge became public when Mayoral Chief of Staff Steve Schaefer made it know that this location will not be submitted as a potential location while advocating for $1.5 Million for Roberts Park?…the CCO reiterates that the right location for the IU Medical School can be identified by proper use (as opposed to gaming the inputs) of a GIS system?…ruling out any location at this stage of the game for political purposes is destructive to the cognitive process that needs to occur to make this medical school optimal for the students who will attend this school?…giving preferential treatment to the downtown or any other location by exclusion at this point may just put Warrick County in the driver’s seat to land this important opportunity?

IS IT TRUE if Warrick County wins the IU Medical School over the City of Evansville that the applications of Evansville and any excluded sites will be under the microscope?…we are also certain that there will be a healthy series of “blame-storming” sessions afterward to replace the “brainstorming” sessions that should be happening right now?…the first thing that should come from a real brainstorming session today would be to stop obsessing over fun and games projects and concentrate on things that are transformational?

IS IT TRUE we were asked today about the number of people currently working at the windmill blade factory touted by former Mayor Weinzapfel as bringing up to 400 jobs to Evansville in 2011?…to the best of our knowledge the count is still below 10 but could still be evolving?…we also have been asked about the number of jobs in Evansville that SS&C that was touted by elected officials as bringing 500+ jobs to town a couple of years ago?…we are certain with an address of 318 Main Street that there is only a small fraction of 500 jobs in place here?…in all fairness the SS&C website does have 14 very good jobs listed on their website at the Evansville location?…we encourage people interested in these jobs to check them out and make application if they have the skills for consideration?

INDIANAPOLIS – R. Scott Waddell, commissioner of the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV), will be stepping down effective the beginning of December.

“I am honored to have served Governors Mitch Daniels and Mike Pence as commissioner of the BMV.  Just as important, it has been my privilege to play a role in the ‘Best in the Country’ successes achieved by the dedicated and hard-working associates of the Indiana BMV,” Waddell said. “The accomplishments of our customer oriented agency have raised the bar for bureaus throughout North America.”

During his tenure at the BMV initiatives such as branch visit time monitoring technology, touch-screen computers for knowledge testing and transaction-based smart phone apps were implemented.

Waddell’s last day will be Dec. 2.

House Dem leader questions amount of time into Bennett grade change

Staff Report
TheStatehouseFile.com

INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana House Democratic Leader Scott Pelath questioned the state inspector general Tuesday about the investigation of the “A-F” scandal involving Republican Tony Bennett, the former superintendent of public instruction.

In a letter sent Tuesday to Indiana Inspector General David Thomas, Pelath wants to know what has been uncovered in the two-month-long investigation into allegations Bennett improperly manipulated school grades prior to the 2012 election.

“Given the length of time that has elapsed, have you now developed a specific timetable for the completion of your investigative work?” Pelath wrote. “If so, when do you plan to issue any findings and conclusions?”

Pelath also requested Thomas share the timeline toward a final report, and, if there is no “specific” timetable or “tentative target dates,” asked what’s preventing progress on the investigation.

Bennett’s changes – which were not approved by the State Board of Education – boosted the grades of 165 schools, including a charter school in Indianapolis that had been held up by Bennett as being among the best in the state. That school was set to receive a “C.”

Bennett resigned in July as Florida’s state education chief after the grade changes were first uncovered. He maintained he’d done nothing wrong and has requested that Thomas confirm that.
