Evansville Police Department’s Crime Analyst Curt Todd is in a competition to win a new mobility van. For those not familiar with Curt, he was hired on to EPD in 1992 and became disabled from a serious spinal cord injury incurred on duty in 1995 assisting EFD on a run aiding an elderly female in need of extrication. He is entered in the contest as an Evansville Local Hero. There is an excellent 2 minute video on the voting link summarizing why we feel he is a deserving Local Hero. Entrants may receive votes from same person each day it is not a one vote per person contest.
If you click the link and it says “You’ve already voted today” that only means someone already voted from that internet account that day, try another one such as your smart phone or home computer! If you get the Already Voted notice you can still play the brief video, it’s quite good.Voting ends midnight May 10th.
Make it part of your daily internet routine on your home computer and on your smart phone! Feel free to use the social media icons at the bottom of the voting page to share the link to your social media pages!

IS IT TRUE March 11, 2013

IS IT TRUE it has been pointed out to the City County Observer that the Courier Press recently reported on the Bond rating of the City of Evansville relative to the Ford Center?…this person just wanted to keep the people of Evansville informed that the Courier was comparing apple to oranges?… the Evansville Redevelopment Authority (ERA), which is totally separate from the City of Evansville, owns the Ford Center and issued the bonds that paid for the Ford Center?…the ERA then leases the Ford Center to the City?…during the audit process, the SBOA (State Board of Accountancy), will NOT be performing audit procedures concerning the ERA?… as such, should the City of Evansville encounter an adverse opinion due to the condition of the City’s records, the bond rating of the Arena will NOT be effected at all?… it was misleading to report, or insinuate that the Citizens of City have nothing to be concerned about regarding their bond ratings should we unfortunately receive less than a favorable audit opinion?

IS IT TRUE the Blue Angels that have been scheduled to perform at the Evansville Shriner’s Fest this summer have been cancelling shows across the country due to the budget cuts known as SEQUESTER?…we should know in a very short time if the Blue Angels will be coming to Evansville or not?…military shows like the Blue Angels always add to the crowd size in towns across the country and are seen as a welcome shot in the arm bringing tourist dollars to the towns they choose to perform in?…if these cities and towns had to foot the full cost to the American taxpayers for the performance they may be singing a different song?…it was reported yesterday that one Blue Angels performance uses about $100,000 just in jet fuel?…there are other costs associated with performing military planes too?…in terms of government spending that $100,000 is really the equivalent of 143 hammers that could be purchased at any hardware store for $3,500?…if SEQESTER starts our government on the path of sane spending it is worth it to miss things like the Blue Angels which while enjoyable are definitely not necessary to run the country and may well have been a wasteful indulgence for many years now?

IS IT TRUE speaking of the SEQUESTER the claims of jobs being lost because of reductions in planned spending are all over the map and in some cases designed to frighten the American people?…in truth there are some jobs supported entirely by government largesse that probably need to be eliminated?…let’s use the example of whomever is employed to make those $700 hammers and $500 toilet seats?…these jobs need to go away and the people doing these jobs need to be reassigned to something that serves the private sector or the government sector where pricing is not utterly insane?…it was President Obama’s right hand man Rahm Emmanuel who once said “never let a crisis go to waste”?…the SEQUESTER crisis if it really is one should be used to hit the reset button on government pricing?…it would serve our medical system that routinely has the nerve to bill patients and insurance companies up to $3 for a cotton ball to examine their pricing schemes as well?…if Obamacare is to work it will be fully dependent on sane pricing?…that government and medical services are the two most guilty industries in the United States when it comes to insanity of pricing?…the REAL WORLD of competitive enterprise would never ever tolerate such pricing?…that whatever the government does or regulates seldom works out well in the long run?

IS IT TRUE the CCO wishes to congratulate and celebrate the Indiana Hoosiers first outright Big Ten basketball championship in 20 years?…as this week’s conference tournaments play out Indiana is in a good spot to get a number one seed in March Madness along with Duke, Louisville, and #1 ranked Gonzaga?

REO SPEEDWAGON, STYX AND TED NUGENT
Last year’s debut of “The Midwest Rock ‘n Roll Express” tour, recognized by Rolling Stone as one of the “Ten Hottest Summer Package Tours of 2012,” was such a huge success that Rock’s finest from the Midwest— REO Speedwagon, Styx and Ted Nugent—are teaming up again for another round of shows. To say that everyone on the tour is excited to get back out there would be an understatement, in their own words:
“Yo, wake up everybody! Winter is over, the snow is melting, the sun is coming out–it’s time for the second annual REO, Styx, Nugent springtime extravaganza. We had so much fun in 2012 we all decided to fire this ‘Midwest Rock ‘n Roll Express’ thing up and do it again. Time to strap on our six strings, pack up the trucks and tour buses, get together with our best rock buddies and go out to have some big fun. See y’all soon.” – Kevin Cronin, REO Speedwagon (vocals, guitars, keyboards)
“Blazing vocal melodies and guitars, soaring arrangements steeped in Progressive Rock roots, heart touching ballads you know in your bones, and that’s just my DAMN YANKEES brother TED NUGENT I’m talking about! Wait until STYX and REO take the stage! You might need to take the next day off after riding this glorious train!” — Tommy Shaw, Styx (vocals, guitars)
“When you live the ultimate American guitar player’s dream, with the ultimate grinding band, performing the most intense fun songs in the world to the most enthusiastic audiences alive, every tour and every concert is an indescribable celebration. Styx and REO deserve me. Here we come again baby, like dogs in heat!” –Ted Nugent
“The Midwest Rock ‘n Roll Express” tour racked rave reviews. “One would be hard pressed to find a tour line-up that can boast more combined top 40 hits and platinum recordings than that of Ted Nugent, REO Speedwagon and STYX…on this night, (the fans are) going to get their money’s worth.”–Craig Ross, Guitarinternational.com
