Herbert Dan Adams, MD, MBA, & at-large Evansville City Council member has been chosen as a MOLE AWARD winner by the City County Observer for his diligent efforts as a councilman that paved the way for the enhanced smoking restrictions adopted by the Evansville City Council in 2012.

Dr. Adams a1982 transplant who has adopted Evansville as his home eloquently states his current goal in life is “to be the BEST At Large Member of the Evansville City Council I can”. In addition to his duties as a Councilman, Dr. Adams has a full life serving the community on the Evansville Airport Board, Port Authority, as a substitute high school teacher EVSC; a Lecturer at Signature School, the University of Evansville, the USI School of Nursing, and the IU Medical School – Evansville.

Prior to giving in to the internal compass that pointed to public service, Dr. Adams spent his life as a cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon in the Evansville area for 26 years after 7 years in the same capacity in Montana. Prior to entering the world of private medicine Dr. Adams served the United States of America as a ship’s surgeon on the USS John F. Kennedy and as a Commander in the United States Naval Reserve. During his service Dr. Adams was awarded the Navy Achievement Medal for Professional Excellence.

Dr. Adams was graduated from Yale University in American Studies and Pre-Med before having his MD conveyed onto him by the Harvard Medical School. Following medical school he served as an intern at the Brigham Hospital in Boston, and completed residencies at the University of Pennsylvania. After his time as an active member of the military Dr. Adams completed fellowships at the Texas Heart Institute and the Baylor University Medical Center. Recognizing the benefit of a business education to complement his medical practice Dan completed an Executive MBA in Health Care Management at the Olin School of Business, St. Louis, MO

Civic duty has long been a good habit of Dr. Adams who has served in the promotion of both soccer and hockey in Evansville and Missoula, Montana. He takes pride in his membership in the Evansville Northside Kiwanis Club as a devoted soccer coach at the Boys & Girls Club.

It was his time as a surgeon that inspired the passion for public health and the candid willingness to share the truth about the positive health implications of restricting smoking in public. There are many people who were instrumental in the passing of the Evansville Smoking Ordinance in 2012. Without the efforts on the City Council by Dr. H. Dan Adams this successful accomplishment may have taken much longer than it did and for this he is honored with a Mole Award for his tireless promotion of public health.

Rather than take a 3.5 hour meeting into 4 hours, I have opted to release a statement regarding my vote on the 2013 budget. I voted against the 2013 budget for the following reasons:

1. The 2013 budget proposed by the Administration is financially irresponsible and short-sighted. With less money next year from Aztar, the need to find $10 million dollars for a downtown hotel, and only $3 million in the rainy day fund, a $3 to $5 million dollar cushion between revenue and expenditures is not enough. The Ford Center and Centre are operating at losses and the downtown TIF and food and beverage tax revenues are not producing enough money to cover the loans we took out to build them. We are having to use Aztar funds, which are normally used for capital projects such as police cars, to make up the difference. It’s difficult to imagine how we are going to borrow an additional $10 million next year to incentivize the building of the downtown hotel. With the Centre not being paid off until 2015, this bloated budget will most likely stall hotel construction until 2015 or later. The local economy needs the hotel project. If we could have saved $10 million in the 2013 budget, we could be building the downtown hotel next year without borrowing any money. Money for Keep Evansville Beautiful, Leadership Evansville and other unnecessary expenditures such as increasing the flower budget for the Parks Department have led to a budget that reads more like a child’s Christmas wish list.

2. What was believed to be the final budget was not emailed to City Council until October 19th, however it was adjusted yet again when we arrived to vote. The budget is approximately 200 pages long and somewhat incomprehensible. It is full of abbreviations that are nonsensical and has literally hundreds of thousands of dollars buried in categories labeled “contractual services” and “miscellaneous.” It is not in a format that is user friendly, and it is nearly impossible to decipher. It is unacceptable that the final budget is not provided in a user friendly format with enough time to actually go through it. The entire schedule for reviewing and voting on the budget should be started much earlier so that City Council is not essentially forced to vote a mere days before the deadline.

3. The budget contains nearly $1 million dollars for the destruction of Roberts Stadium. Three years ago, Roberts Stadium was a profitable venue for the City. However, it was systematically attacked and the public misled as to its condition. A refusal to maintenance the building, a financing agreement for the Ford Center that required the removal of all of its seating, and an auction that sold the fixtures for pennies on the dollar has forced the destruction of a landmark in this community. City Council was misled at its last meeting as to the cost to mothball the building. We were told that it was $25 to $30 thousand dollars a month to maintain the building. The records revealed otherwise. In its most expensive month last year (January), water, telephone, pump monitoring, gas and electric was approximately $14 thousand. An average cost to mothball the stadium would be approximately $10 thousand a month. We are destroying a perfectly good building, that is paid for, due to a complete lack of creativity.

4. As of the time of the vote on the 2013 budget, the major accounts of the City were not reconciled. Although it is doubtful that reconciliation would create major changes in balances, it is irresponsible to vote for a budget without certainty as to the funds.

5. The 2013 budget contains unreasonable raises for a select few employees.

6. The Fire Fighters are still in negotiations for a contract. It is not appropriate to vote on a budget where the end result of the negotiations, and therefore the final cost, is not known.

Excerpts:

“Behold the Obama Administration’s new public works plan. Sue cities for polluting waterways and then as part of a settlement require them to spend, er, “invest” billions in extraneous sewer improvements. The White House doesn’t even need legislation to pour this money down the drain.”

“The Justice Department and Environmental Protection Agency have taken enforcement actions against 25 cities over the last four years for allegedly violating the Clean Water Act, and there are another 772 on their list.”

“The EPA says this extraordinary intrusion on local sovereignty is justified because cities are discharging waste into waterways during heavy rains.”

“The U.S. Conference of Mayors says the EPA’s heavy-handed management can’t be justified by the supposed environmental or economic benefits.”

“Fossil fuel CEOs couldn’t have said it better.”

“Since cities don’t have that much spare change, they’ve been making improvements incrementally. But the EPA is demanding that they accelerate their work, which means they’ll have to issue bonds as well as raise residents’ water and sewer rates. David Berger, the Democratic mayor of Lima, Ohio—which has a median household income of $26,000—told Congress this summer that the EPA’s consent decree could raise the average resident’s $333 annual sewer bill by $539. Call the surcharge the Obama storm tax.”

“New York City’s deputy mayor for operations Cas Holloway is less charitable. The EPA, he wrote in “The Environmental Forum” journal this month, is “treating cities as it might have treated Standard Oil early last century.” The agency is “imposing billions of dollars of unfunded mandates without a clear scientific and public health basis for doing so.”

Perhaps by targeting cities the EPA is merely trying to show that it’s an equal opportunity harassing regulator. To adapt one of the President’s favorite phrases, everyone deserves a fair shakedown.”
