Community leaders reacted strongly today at efforts to prevent Vandeburgh residents from voting on a Plan of Reorganization this fall. The plan would merge city and county councils, as well as the executive branches. However, taxes, zoning, and law enforcement would remain separate according to current city and county boundaries.

Opponents of the plan filed a complaint filed with the Vanderburgh County Election Board, contending that certain signatures needed to get the referendum on the ballot were invalid. Although the signatures were certified by the County Clerk in late 2009, today’s challenge was filed just months before the election in an apparent act of desperation.

“The opponents of unification do not understand the plan and its obvious benefits to our community,” said County Commissioner Joe Kiefer. He added, “It’s an effort to disenfranchise voters by not allowing citizens of Vanderburgh County a say in this important issue. Additionally, this challenge is an unnecessary expense for tax payers. Let the voters decide this issue on November 6th.”

To trigger the referendum process, state law required the signatures of at least 5 percent of county voters who cast ballots in the 2006 Secretary of State race. Official election results put that number at 2,632.

Roberta Heiman and the organization she now leads, the League of Women Voters, helped gather many of the signatures. “I’m confident that County Clerk Susie Kirk did a thorough job and that we collected the required number of signatures. In fact, we collected many more than were required by the state law.”

Over 3,300 signatures were collected across the community, and after a thorough review, 2,757 were ultimately certified by the Clerk’s Office. Supporters of the Plan of Reorganization have focused their campaign on educating residents on the tremendous opportunities that passage will bring. Said Kiefer, “We’ll continue to work hard communicating with every voter and making sure they have all the facts about how this important initiative will build a better future for each of us.”

Coroner Press Release:
1:30 PM August 2, 2012
Given By: Wayne Parke
Chairman VCRP

Today I am pleased to announce that I have selected a strong candidate to run on the Republican ticket for Vanderburgh County Coroner. The person filling this office is of utmost importance not only to our County and City, but also the surrounding communities.
The status quo must GO! It simply cannot be tolerated any longer.

For 4 years now, we effectively have had a part-time official in what should be a full-time job. The incumbent does not have the professional background to properly work with local law enforcement. She does not seem to understand the coroner’s office requires a full week’s work. We cannot tolerate an officeholder who takes such a lackadaisical approach to this important office by spending way too much time socializing.

I am proud to announce the Republican candidate for Vanderburgh County Coroner will be
Mr. Gary Gulledge. Gary was born in Evansville, graduated from Central High School and attended USI and UE. After college, Gary worked in the construction industry for 13 years.

Gary joined the Evansville Police Department in 1988. While serving on the EPD, he was a Patrolman, a Field Training Officer, an Investigator in the Violent Crime Unit and was accepted into the FBI as a sworn Federal officer. He has received training in numerous fields both inside and independent of law enforcement, including Drug Enforcement, Ethics, Management, Death Investigation, and Forensics. He has received an immense amount of recognition during his distinguished career in law enforcement. He is very proud of his service to our community.

As Coroner, Gary will be able to work effectively with local law enforcement, looking for creative ways to find solutions and streamline the operations of the office. Raised right here in Evansville, Gary understands the needs of Vanderburgh County residents, and he will work around-the-clock to see that the coroner’s office is doing everything it can to ensure that those needs are being met.

I could not be more pleased to introduce to you the next Vanderburgh County Coroner,

Gary Gulledge.
