IS IT TRUE January 23, 2013
IS IT TRUE several of our CCO downtown MOLES and the dine out allot MOLE are telling us that the old Riverhouse Hotel may be seeing some construction workers rattling its bones soon?…the brand that we hear will be associated with this old hotel will be the Comfort Inn?…the number of rooms in this new hotel should stay in the range of 90 which is just about the number of rooms one study stated downtown Evansville can absorb?…right next door the McCurdy Hotel now under new ownership may have some hammers swinging this summer as well?…the new ownership has stated plans to convert the classic downtown hotel into 90 or so luxury apartments?…Evansville may be the only city in America to have luxury apartments occupying the same block as a Comfort Inn?…even freeway off-ramps do not place luxury apartments and Comfort Inn branded motels next to each other?
IS IT TRUE that one of the tricks (SNEGAL if we may say so) that the Mole Nation tells us will be proposed is to remove the new downtown Convention Hotel from the existing downtown TIF (tax increment finance) district and place it in a stand alone TIF?…this legal maneuver will blaze the trail to return all of the tax revenue generated by the hotel/retail complex right back to cover the subsidies pledged and bonded to the developer?…such a move will remove any chance for other businesses to benefit directly from the new development?…removing this new venture from the tax roles for the foreseeable future will also raise the property taxes of homes in Pigeon Township where the hotel will be if and only if the Evansville City Council has been herded successfully to vote for the financing of any deal?…that supposes that the land unless subsidized will never see any development at all or ever be returned to the tax roll that it was on before the Weinzapfel Administration proceeded to demolish the Executive Inn with no viable plan for a replacement?
IS IT TRUE a bill that would allow the casinos to move from the boats onto land, reduce their taxes and lift game restrictions will be discussed in the Indiana Senate as early as today?… the biggest question is whether such a bill can win approval from lawmakers leery about being perceived as expanding gambling? …Indiana expects a 15 percent drop in the tax revenues from its 13 casinos, from the $614 million it collected last year to about $520 million for the 2015 budget year?…State officials blame the decline in part on the opening of new casinos in Ohio, Michigan and Illinois?…the move to being land based as opposed to maintaining a “Riverboat†is a good move that should have been the case from day one?…looking back forcing gambling into the water as opposed to right next to the water was a cowardly stupid thing to do in the first place?…in the case of Evansville with the northern border of Kentucky right on the riverbank it was even required to dig out the bank to be in Indiana?…the CCO supports land based gaming and just shakes our head in disbelief that the boat option was the path that needed to be taken to get to a more sane solution?

In late November, I wrote a column about a new spirit of bipartisanship that I saw around the Statehouse. I am pleased that the cooperation between both parties is carrying over into the legislative session. A great example of this cooperation is House Bill (HB) 1002, which is authored by Speaker Brian Bosma (R-Indianapolis) and Democrat Minority Leader Scott Pelath (D-Michigan City). The two caucus leaders are working together on a bill that will create more jobs for Hoosiers.
HB 1002 establishes the Indiana Career Council that fulfills a variety of different needs for Hoosiers. 1) The council would facilitate greater cooperation and cohesion between different participants around the state in the areas of education, job skills, development and career training; 2) It would prepare the state’s education and skill development system to better fit the state’s job market and career system; 3) It would oversee the Indiana Workforce Intelligence System, which would keep track of employment data; and 4) It would submit recommendations to the General Assembly regarding changes to the state’s education, job skills and career training system.
Members of the council would include:
•Governor (Chair)
•Lieutenant Governor (Vice-Chair)
•Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Workforce Development
•Secretary of Commerce for the Indiana Economic Development Corporation
•Commissioner of the Commission for Higher Education
•Secretary of the Family and Social Services Administration
•State Superintendent of Public Instruction
•President of Ivy Tech College
•One member representing business community interests (appointed by the Governor)
•One member representing manufacturing interests (appointed by the Governor)
•One member representing labor interests (appointed by the Governor)
•Two advisory members appointed by the Speaker (cannot be from same political party)
•Two advisory members appointed by the Pro Tem (cannot be from same political party)
HB 1002 is a very important jobs bill, and I am thrilled that it has bipartisan support. I look forward to continued discussions on this bill and other solutions for lowering Indiana unemployment rate. HB 1002 is just a part of our larger agenda that is focused on job creation.
Another one of our big priorities is bridging Indiana’s skills gap. Employers are in need of skilled labor, but there is a shortage of people in the workforce who have the necessary skills to fill these positions. To remedy the situation, we are looking to better support and improve career and technical education in high schools, increase and support dual credit programs, target investments on training programs with high potential and strengthen partnerships between industry and higher education.
Every step of the way we work with willing members of the other party to accomplish these agenda items. If our efforts are successful, I believe that we can make Indiana even stronger.
Beginning in February, we will begin taking folks on “Virtual Ride-Alongs” via our VirtualEPD twitter account. When you “follow” the VirtualEPD account, you will be following an officer as they patrol their beat. You will get alerts when the officer is assigned to a run, initiates an investigation, and any other activity they are involved with. We will post pictures and videos when we can. We will be announcing the date and time so you will know when it is going to happen. We will determine how often we do this based on public response.
As part of the program, we will let you know who the officer is and what radio number they are using if you want to monitor a police scanner as well.

(Washington, DC) – Congressman Larry Bucshon released the following statement regarding the “No Budget, No Pay†proposal that the House will consider this week.
Congressman Larry Bucshon (IN-08) stated:
“Under Harry Reid’s leadership, the Senate has failed to pass a budget over the last four years, although it has been required by law since 1974. The President has also announced that his budget will not meet the February 4th deadline. The Senate and President’s failure to act has led to four years of $1 trillion plus deficits. We can no longer continue down this unsustainable path of record deficits and reckless spending.
“The time for political football is over. The House has acted within the law and passed responsible budgets and will do so again this year. We expect the Senate to do the same.
“My colleagues in the House and I are calling on Congress to take action. If a budget is not passed, Congress will not get paid. Our message is simple: No Budget, No pay.
“Hardworking families should not be asked to send more money to Washington, D.C. to pay for increased government and irresponsible spending.â€
BACKGROUND:
The House proposal will temporarily increase the debt ceiling for three months to allow Congress time to pass a budget. If Congress fails to pass a budget, Members will not be paid.
The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 requires that a budget resolution be passed no later than April 15th.
The United States Senate has not passed a budget in over 1,360 days, all under President Obama.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, 2012 marked the fourth consecutive year with more than a $1 trillion deficit.
