IS IT TRUE the City of Evansville is now in possession of the letter from RGL Forensics that covers the topic of accounting activities during the Ford Center project?…the good news is that no willful fraud has been identified by RGL and no one will be facing charges?…the bad news is that this “Initial Observation” by RGL has identified some sloppiness in the accounting processes that looks more like an accountants version of an Evansville City Park than a report about a tightly run ship?… the study stated that “David Garrett’s lead sheets do raise questions as to the accuracy of the information reported in the accounts and we cannot discount the possibility that accounting irregularities may have occurred?”…the study also brought up the fact that a Kansas City company was overpaid by $350,000 and that no one seems to know whether or not that money has been returned to the City of Evansville?…while there was nothing illegal identified in the audit the fingerprints of SNEGAL (sneaky but legal) were all over the Ford Center project in the form of contractors who made political contributions to politicians who were in the approval cycle of the project?…like it or not when a politician is part of making a project happen and then is the recipient of donations from contractors, suppliers and consultants who materially benefitted from that project of public dollars has occurred and the judgment process of such politicians has been compromised?…this pass through of public dollars into the campaign coffers of politicians SHOULD BE ILLEGAL AND HAS COSTS THE TAXPAYERS OF EVANSVILLE PLENTY?

IS IT TRUE it has now been approximately 2,000 days since a smiling former Mayor announced to the people of Evansville that he had made a deal to get the McCurdy Hotel refurbished into 90 luxury apartments?…despite this premature announcement of a half baked project after 2,000 days the McCurdy looks like the Wreck of the Hesperus with broken windows and graffiti dominating its former imposing but now rotting shell?…many of our readers are beginning to believe that the McCurdy Hotel is destined for the wrecking ball because of neglect?

IS IT TRUE it has also been nearly 2,000 days since that same former Mayor and his Director of Metropolitan Development Tom Barnett announced a deal with Historical Landmark Indiana to refurbish the old Greyhound Bus Station?  …because of Historical Landmark Indiana failure to follow its commitment  the Greyhound Bus Station it now considered to be schedule to a future  wreaking ball project.  …the results are similarly abysmal to those of the McCurdy as the old Greyhound Station is deteriorating and some days even sending forth foul odors that are reminiscent of a stroll through Bee Slough after a big rain?…it is in Evansville as it is in Washington true that government has lost its ability to do anything but push meaningless papers around and claim future victories to distract voters from the malaise of the present?

IS IT TRUE we now wait word from our new Mayor, Department of Codes Enforcement part of the Evansville Building Commission, Evansville Historic Preservation officer and the officials of  Historical Landmark Indiana what they are planning to do with the McCurdy and the Greyhound Bus Station?

IS IT TRUE yesterday President Obama relented to pressure from former President Clinton, the 15 Democrat Senators who gave him a Friday ultimatum, and the American public that has driven his job approval rating into the 30’s and changed one of the bedrock requirements of the new health-care law by yet another executive order?…the President took this action to fulfill his promise to allow people to keep their insurance plans if they want?…this sane act in no way changes the fact that the President stood in front of the American people and told a bold faced lie more than 30 times during the last 4 years?…insurance companies, lawyers, and pundits immediately pounced on this announcement as not passing constitutional muster and hanging new buyers of health care out to dry by essentially pooling the old, sick, and previously uninsured into what will certainly be one of the most risky insurance pools ever created?…while the President’s move was aimed at solving a problem that was threatening the president’s credibility and public faith in the law, it raised a slew of new questions, including whether insurers would adjust, whether millions of customers would pay higher premiums and whether states would make the fix available?…the only thing that is certain about this portion of America’s health insurance markets is that for those who have been cancelled due to ObamaCare that CHAOS is the result of a government that had the hubris not to read the bill, to blatantly lie, and to carve the bill up by executive order at the will of the Chief Executive who is not supposed to make laws?…if this does not teach the voting public a lesson on voting in experienced people then more CHAOS will follow until the good old USA goes the way of the Roman Empire?

IS IT TRUE that the Wall Street Journal reports that 2014 has already set a record for native born Americans renouncing their citizenship?…during the first 9 months of 2013, 2,369 Americans moved to other countries and renounced their citizenship?…the previous high happened in 2011?…the reason stated by many of these former citizens are the economic policies of the Obama Administration?
