IS IT TRUE February 21, 2013

IS IT TRUE February 21, 2013

IS IT TRUE the Evansville Redevelopment Commission (ERC) has voted to authorize carving the single block that Evansville City Administrations have been dreaming of a convention hotel sitting on for 5 years now into its own little Tax Increment Finance (TIF) District?…assuming that any future hotel will be granted the maximum 10 year tax abatement this makes the amount of money that can be collected by this new TIF limited to the non-hotel revenue from the complex?…it has been estimated that the taxes collected by this TIF will be less than $100,000 per year?…this is a drop in the bucket compared to the interest on the debt already incurred to build the Ford Center or the up-front cash incentives that will be required to close a deal with the Branson, Missouri based hotel developer that is in discussions with the Winnecke Administration right now?…this amount of money committed to be squirreled away to cover the City of Evansvilleâ€™s anticipated incentive package is equivalent to a 14 year old squirreling away $50 for the purchase of a future automobile?…this is cute and thrifty for a teenager dedicated to hoarding enough money to buy a car but in the Cityâ€™s case this is a fairly insignificant piece of the whole pie that is still a raw undeveloped parcel of land in downtown Evansville?…this looks a little bit desperate for every red cent that can be allocated to a hotel project?…every dollar that goes into this TIF is a dollar that the rest of the business owners and residents of Pigeon Township will get to pay for with a tax increase?

IS IT TRUE this new TIF is subject to approval of the Evansville City Council?…this would be a good time for our City Council to stop insulting each other and to put their Tom Terrific thinking caps on and figure out how this TIF effects this deal and how it effects the citizens of Evansville who own property in the Pigeon Township?…any member of the City Council who is not able to recite with understanding the potential unintended consequences of established this micro-TIF before casting a vote is undeserving of your future vote?…in cases like this a written test for the City Council is in order?…as a Washington based corporate site selector stated in a conversation in Monterrey, CA last night â€œthe United States can no longer afford to have bumbling idiots in elected officeâ€?…that echoâ€™s a famous comedian George Carlin who always attributed this problem of fools in office to the fools who voted for them?…it is time for all of the people of this country to once again learn the process often called THINKING?

IS IT TRUE that the University of Vermont has released an in depth study of the happiest states in America?…in the Tri-State the State of Kentucky checked in at #28, Illinois was #31, and Indiana followed those two closely at #33?…that of course the happiest state is the State of Hawaii which should surprise no one who has been lucky enough to visit?…7 of the top 10 are western states while 7 of the bottom 10 come from the south?…the Midwestern states as they often do in nearly everything dominate the middle of the rankings?…as cities go the happiest city in America is Napa, California and the least happy is Beaumont, TX just on the Louisiana border?…Louisiana was ranked dead last for happiest?

They have to SAY it. They have to DO it. You have to SEE it. Once you start watching, you just can’t stop! Q, Sal, Joe and Murr have entertained each other for years with the most hilarious dares they could imagine. Now you can watch them on stage with their signature brand of comedy! You gotta see this to believe it!
Well on his way to fulfilling his dream of driving an ice cream truck for a living, Brian found himself weirdly derailed by the fact that his three friends have roped him into doing a TV show. After being trapped in a cubicle for years, Joe realized he didn’t want to die a slow, corporate death void of human interaction. Murr has three distinct advantages over the other guys: his disarming grin, his utter unpredictability and his complete lack of what other people call “morals.” Sal attempts to administer a high level of uncompromising wit with every unknowing hidden camera patron he comes across. Together these men are a perfect combination for comedy.

Education is Budget’s Top Priority

02/20/2013

0

Prior to the unveiling of this yearâ€™s first House Budget draft, my hope was that it would be structurally balanced, and continue to protect Hoosier taxpayers while also restoring funding to education. Chairman Brownâ€™s budget went three for three.

In the budget we have operated under during the past two years, Indiana spent over $13 billion on K-12 education (47% of the budget). Indiana spent another $3.4 billion on higher education (12% of the budget). Providing sufficient funding for K-12 and higher education is incredibly important, hence why it makes up 59% of our budget.

As an educator, I am pleased to see numerous investments in education. In our new proposed budget, there are following increases:

â€¢$344 million in school operating funding over the next two years
â€¢$197 million in fiscal year 2014 for full day kindergarten
â€¢$203 million in fiscal 2015 to fund full day kindergarten
â€¢$150+ million each year of the biennium will be transferred to the Tuition Reserve Fund
â€¢$10 million over the next two years to recruit STEM teachers to schools that need them most
â€¢$6 million to fund dropout prevention programs

Our leadership has taken a prudent conservative approach by maintaining healthy reserves, protecting Hoosier taxpayers while also restoring education investments. I look forward to following the budget as it works through the legislative process.

Attempted Burglary and Battery News Release

02/20/2013

0

On Tuesday, February 19th at approximately 6:45 pm, deputies were dispatched to 6100 Porterfield Drive regarding a burglary in progress. When deputies arrived they found the female resident running across the street and communicating with Central Dispatch via her cell phone.

The resident stated to deputies that she had been away and was returning home. When she arrived home, she talked to the neighbors and then entered her house from the garage. The resident stated that while she was in the kitchen, she heard a noise coming from her bedroom.

The resident stated as she approached her bedroom, she noticed the door partially closed which she said was unusual. When she entered the bedroom, a white male suspect came out of the closet and pushed her to the floor. The suspect then fled out the back door and north of her residence. The resident was not hurt during the encounter.

The deputies on scene cleared the residentâ€™s home but could not locate the suspect. Deputy Bryan Bishop then deployed his K9 partner Bosko who tracked the suspect to the north of the residence. The track ended at Goebel Soccer Complex on Greenriver Road, where deputies believe the suspect fled in a waiting vehicle.

The deputies on scene did locate a broken window on the back side of the residence and processed the scene for evidence. The incident is still under investigation. Anyone who may have noticed anything in the area of the incident between 6:00 PM and 6:45 PM yesterday that was out of the ordinary or suspicious or saw anything at the Goebel Soccer Complex yesterday between 6:00 PM and 6:45 PM are encouraged to contact sheriffâ€™s investigators at 421-6201.
