Galloway Sentenced in Home Improvement Fraud Case

0

nick herman In March of 2013, James K. Galloway, age 61, plead guilty to five counts of Class C Felony Home Improvement Fraud and three counts of Class D Felony Home Improvement Fraud. Friday, May 03, 2013 Galloway was sentenced by Judge Richard D’Amour in Vanderburgh County Superior Court to four years for each Cause (3) and a habitual offender enhancement on each cause, equating to four years per cause. In all, Galloway is sentenced to 24 years, to be served consecutively in the Indiana Department of Corrections.

These charges are Galloway’s 11th, 12th and 13th felony convictions, dating back to 1976. His criminal record over the years has shown a pattern of theft and home improvement fraud. The State estimated Galloway stole over $119,200 in all.

In his sentencing hearing, former clients and victims of Galloway gave statements concerning their interactions and experiences with Galloway. Many of them said they had paid him for home improvement work up-front, and Galloway never did the work he was paid for. He was described as a “great salesman” and would often make up excuses as to why he had not completed his already paid for tasks.

Galloway awaits a trial and or sentencing in Warrick County for additional charges stemming from incidents.

IS IT TRUE May 3, 2013

IS IT TRUE yesterday’s IS IT TRUE regarding the $53 Million Johnson Controls deal signed on behalf of the taxpayers of Evansville without consultation or funding approval by former Mayor Weinzapfel during his last hours in office elicited the most calls and emails that the City County Observer has gotten regarding an article published since the drunken party fueled by lobbyist dollars in 2012?…the particular part of this $53 Million scheme that our readership finds particularly offensive is that the Winnecke Administration who has labored furiously to keep this contract alive after the IURC shot it down is threatening to go forward with this spending with or without City Council cooperation?…our readership is incensed that it is even legal for any Mayor or surrogate of a Mayor has the authority to bind the City of Evansville to such an expensive capital project without having the funding approved by the City Council?…if this is really the case there is no real need for a City Council at all and we along with other Indiana citizens must be voting for a Dictator as opposed to a Mayor every four years?…if this Johnson Controls deal is pursued after a vote of the City Council not to fund we should just disband every City Council in the State of Indiana and resign ourselves to martial law when it comes to squandering tax dollars with no checks and balances?

IS IT TRUE that such an end run nearly happened last year until Mayor Winnecke finally realized he had painted himself into a corner?…there is a new joke in town at the expense of Mayors Winnecke and Weinzapfel and it goes like this?

Q: “What do the Johnson Controls deal and the Earthcare Energy deal have in common?”

A: “an Evansville Mayor did an end run around the City Council to make and fund the spending of lots of taxpayer dollars”

IS IT TRUE in both of these cases Mayors acting in a substantial vacuum from the City Council went out and cut deals to commit taxpayer dollars without having the support of the legal funding authority?…in the case of the Earthcare Energy deal getting the fifth vote from Councilman Conor O’Daniel to fund the Earthcare deal took on the form of a Civic Center Shake Down resulting in a last minute reversal of opinion?…when all was said and done it turned out that the Winnecke Administration had found a SNEGAL (sneaky but legal) way to advance Earthcare $200,000 that is still not paid back but is curiously current on the $380 interest only monthly payments?…it is widely expected that the rush to sneak $200,000 to Earthcare followed up by Mayor Winnecke’s subsequent reversal of opinion will be coming back to bite the City of Evansville squarely on the backside in March of 2014?

IS IT TRUE the Winnecke Campaign was awarded a CCO Mole Award for its clean campaign with a focus on COLLABORATION and TRANSPARENCY?…we stand by that award for the things that then candidate Winnecke expressed when running for office?…what we are wondering is what has happened to the GREAT COLLABORATOR?…a great collaborator does not go behind the City Council’s back to make deals to spend millions of taxpayer dollars?…a great collaborator is always a collaborating with others as opposed to just when he gets his way?…the first 16 months of the Winnecke Administration have not exactly been a time of transparency either?…thus far what we are seeing is an administration that is dedicated to carrying on the Weinzapfel doctrine at all costs?…if the nine members of the Evansville City Council truly believe that putting new water meters on a dilapidated set of pipes (the delivery system) needing over $500 Million in replacements in a city with a looming $500 Million sewer repair on the horizon is the best use of $53 Million taxpayer dollars then by all means vote yes and prepare to face the voters?…if however the members of the City Council are not convinced that having a shiny new meter on the end of a rotting pipe is not worth $53 Million at this time and that Mayors doing sneaky end runs around the lawful spending authority of the council is unacceptable then you members of the City Council who see this light are obligated to vote NO and challenge the threat of forcing the deal through the courts based on the signature of a lame duck Mayor in his last hours in office?

IS IT TRUE we hope that the sometimes complacent people of Evansville will pay attention so that as the old song says “they don’t get fooled again”?

ST. MARY’S NOW ACCEPTING REGISTRATION FOR SAFE SITTER BABYSITTING CLASSES

st marys logo

Young children cannot always communicate their needs or protect themselves. That’s why babysitters must be able to handle any situation that may arise while kids are in their care. St. Mary’s Outreach Services is now accepting reservations for SAFE SITTER classes coming up in June and July. SAFE SITTER is a medically accurate, hands-on class that teaches boys and girls ages 11 to 13 how to handle emergencies when caring for children.
SAFE SITTERS will learn:
• What to do if a child chokes.
• Safety for the sitter.
• How to call 911 for help.
• Babysitting business skills (how to refuse a babysitting job, how to negotiate a salary, how to recognize your limitations, etc.)
• Basic childcare techniques (diapering, feeding, etc.)
• How to entertain children and keep them safe.
These classes are being offered June 18th and 20th, and July 3rd from 8:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. in room 107 of the St. Mary’s Medical Arts Building, located at 3700 Bellemeade Avenue in Evansville.
This is a one-day class, so sitters do not need to attend more than one session. Parents and/or guardians are encouraged to attend a 15-minute “graduation ceremony” honoring the students at 3:30 p.m. Participants are asked to bring a sack lunch.
Each class costs $60 and includes a student manual, a messenger bag, a card confirming the babysitter’s completion of the course, a list of important phone numbers, a flashlight, band aids, and other supplies.
To register your son or daughter OR your babysitter, please call Debbie Davidson with St. Mary’s Outreach Services at 812.485.5607.
