Breaking News: Anonymous Complaint Against David Garrett Dropped by State Board of Accountancy

12

The City County Observer has learned that the complaint against David Garrett over a CPA license has been dropped by the State Board of Accountancy. Also it also was announced that the State Board of Accountancy hereby considers this case to be closed.

This is a developing story, shall post more later.

Previous: An anonymous complaint to the Indiana State Board of Accountancy against David Garrett who was hired for $20,000 by the Evansville City Council to provide financial analysis resulted in a media firestorm with City Councilman Jonathan Weaver leading the opposition to his hiring and appearing on local television to support his positions. Weaver’s assertion was that Mr. Garrett did not have a CPA. It was later verified that the tasks that Garrett was hired to perform did not require a CPA. Garrett furthermore has never claimed to have a current CPA license and the City Council was apprised of that prior to his hiring via his resume’. Mr. Garrett did at one time pass the CPA exam as verified by the State Board of Accountancy.

IS IT TRUE February 22, 2013

The Mole #??

IS IT TRUE we first wish to advise all of our readers to drive and walk with caution today as the Tri-State seems to have had another run-in with mother nature’s snow machine?…this will of course be particularly true in downtown Evansville where the Barnett Doctrine of “let the empty buildings shovel their own snow” is still in force?…Yukon Cornelius is still looking for gold and silver in downtown Evansville and it is a good thing he has a sled and a dog pack to moooosh because otherwise he would fall flat on his butt like some downtown worker or even a possible shopper will probably do today?…local government still finds it perfectly acceptable to spend $127 Million on a temple to sport with another $40 Million plus being considered for a hotel yet spending $500 to clear the sidewalks is unaffordable and out of the question?…sometimes visitors to Evansville must think Neanderthals are in charge of city government?

IS IT TRUE that site selectors now advise local economic development officials that their website is just about the only way to make it through to round two in a business attraction project?…the only thing that can get a location to round two without a website that is informative and easy to navigate is a strong personal relationship?…over 90% of acceptable locations do not even make round two because of website deficiencies?…the CCO would like to commend the SW Indiana Coalition for Economic Development for establishing and maintaining a most excellent and easy to navigate website?…this website is probably why the Evansville region really does make the cut and always seems to have lots of opportunities to pursue?…getting beyond round two however takes things like a ready to go workforce, specialized talent, and infrastructure?…only after those things are cleared does one make the final round?…exemplary websites may cause lots of interest but cannot eliminate problems like dilapidated infrastructure, dysfunctional government, and an inadequate workforce?…we seem to have great icing but a cake of questionable quality?…it is time to fix the cake?

IS IT TRUE world economists are now projecting that the Eurozone will have a contracting economy in 2013 due to continued debt issues in Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Ireland?… they will all of course be looking to Germany to bail them out again?…one must wonder just how long the German people are going to tolerate being the lender of last resort to irresponsible dysfunctional countries?…one may ask how on earth does that affect us here in the United States and why do we care?…it is about customers, markets and investments?…the USA is a strong trading partner with the Eurozone and has maintained a win-win relationship for years?…if more turmoil comes into the Eurozone financial markets we will suffer too?

IS IT TRUE that on the home front there is both good news and bad news?…that hiring in the private sector while slow is consistent and positive so from an unemployment perspective the worst seems to finally be behind us?…that is not to be confused with something that is acceptable or prosperous but it should diminish some of the paranoia that has had the country in a funk for 5 years now?…the latest self defeating micro-blow is the fact that the reinstatement of the 2% FICA tax that hits the average family for about $1,000 per year combined with the spike in gas prices has flat-lined consumer spending?…consumer spending is about 70% of the US economy so this avoidable phenomena will hurt earnings which will hurt hiring, etc. etc. etc.?…the comes at a time that the Obama Administration is crowing about not raising taxes on the middle class and doubling the gas mileage on cars?…sometimes one has to wonder if the President and Congress are even living on the same planet that regular people are?…that both of the President’s claims are either extreme delusion or outright lies?…what is really disappointing is that lots of people apparently believe him when he says gas mileage has doubled and that we all got a tax cut?…the cognizance of the entire country or maybe the interest in politics is perfectly reflected in Evansville’s electorate?…maybe we should send the City Council to Washington as they seem a capable as our congress is?

Jacobsville Join In releases interview results at Report Back Sessions

3

On Wednesday, February 20, 2013, Jacobsville Join In representatives released the results of nearly 70 neighborhood interviews to Jacobsville residents and stakeholders. The first part of Jacobsville Join In initiative was intentional listening to people who live and work in the neighborhood. This was done through one-on-one listening sessions.

“There’s only one way to engage someone, and that’s by listening to them,” said Jim Capraro, senior fellow at the Institute for Comprehensive Community Development, when he spoke to those in attendance.

The purpose was to begin the project asking the people who live and work in the neighborhood what they see as the strengths and weaknesses of the area and what they hope for the neighborhood in the future. There are no pre-determined outcomes for the plan, ideas and projects will come from the people in the neighborhood, and people in the neighborhood will play key roles in implementing the completed plan.

The comments made during the interviews were grouped and summarized into themes that communicate similar comments. One common theme stood out which is, “Jacobsville residents find that opportunity for improvement will happen through community involvement via events and meetings. Getting to know and help neighbors through relationship building will help to improve negative attitudes and boost community spirit.”

The report outlines findings from the interviews. The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats identified in the interviews will provide the basis for the Quality of Life plan moving forward. They will inform those who participate in the visioning session and the working groups that develop the plan. The vision and the plan itself will be created by the people who live and work in Jacobsville and who are committed to making Jacobsville a great place to live, work, and play.

Melissa Tines, a resident of the neighborhood, spoke to the group about community involvement. Tines said, “If people would slow down and take the time to look within…strip down their lives to what really is important, they will find they are able to do things they had no idea that they could do.”

Jennifer Mason, the Community Mobilizer for the project said, “The Report Back was just the beginning to the quality of life process for the neighborhood. There is still plenty of work to be done and time for residents to get involved in the process. The next phase will include a visioning this spring.” The Visioning is scheduled for Saturday, April 13th from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at Delaware Elementary School.

Mason went on to say, “But don’t wait till April to get involved…We need people to join in now by getting the word out to their neighbors, co-workers, and friends! Additionally, we will be holding a second report back session this Saturday, February 23rd 10 am to noon at Central United Methodist Church Garden Room, for people that weren’t able to attend the weekday session.” To find out how to join in neighbors can visit our office at 621 North Main Street, or call at 812-746-8933.
