IS IT TRUE May 15, 2012
IS IT TRUE at last night’s meeting of the Evansville City Council line number 9 on the agenda was published without any description whatsoever other than Ordinance G-2012-9 to repeal Ordinance F-2012-1?…for those of you who do not recall what F-2012-1 is it is the ordinance that was passed to approve a $4.8 Million loan to Earthcare Energy?…every other item on the agenda of last night’s City Council meeting has some verbal description about what the particular ordinance was pertaining to?…this is just one more big middle finger of sneakiness in the face of the people of Evansville?…this Ordinance should have had a verbal description of what it was like every other Ordinance that has been brought before council this year?…if this is anyone’s idea of transparency that has anything to do with making the agendas then they all need a lesson in the definition of the word?
IS IT TRUE it was overheard at last night’s meeting of the Evansville City Council when all of the cameras were off and the microphones silenced that City Council President Connie Robinson apologized to Councilwoman Stephanie Brinkerhoff Riley for the way the Earthcare Energy deal was handled?…that Council President Robinson actually told Councilwoman Riley that she was right about Earthcare?…that at that moment some would say that an angel got its wings because this sort of behavior is not characteristic of President Robinson who as recently as yesterday was digging her heels in on Earthcare?…that it took a good long time (like 10 weeks) but President Robinson along with Mayor Winnecke finally seem to have had a Eureka moment that most of the town had long ago?…that at least they had their Eureka moments and this can be put behind us from a loan approval perspective?
IS IT TRUE the issue of the threat to bring a lawsuit against the City of Evansville still needs to be mitigated?…Earthcare Energy may not go as quietly as some would hope they would?…these guys came into the chambers of the Evansville City Council with claims of Billion dollar deals in New York and claiming to have been hailed as the next Google?…that Evansville may just be facing legal actions of a Google magnitude in any forthcoming complaint and that legal hoops will have to be jumped through to avoid a large settlement?…that as we all know by now, this could have been avoided with transparency and just a little bit of VETTING?…that we do surely hope that the Evansville City Council puts some VETTING process into place and includes the funds to do it in the budget so we are never again faced with a VETTING fiasco like the three in recent history?
IS IT TRUE the County Commissioners will be meeting tomorrow afternoon starting at 1:00?…that several Moles are telling us that some of the meeting will be taken up with questions regarding the Earthcare Energy deal and the role of Vanderburgh County in financing the insufficient VETTING that led down this primrose path of problems?…that we understand that some members of the Vanderburgh County Commissioners are not at all pleased with the whole timeline of this developing fiasco?…that we encourage our readers to tune in and watch?
