Dear friends, family and neighbors:

A despicable, inaccurate campaign postcard was mailed to voters in Vanderburgh County today. I’m told the postcard was paid for by the Vanderburgh County Republican Party — but MAILED from Indianapolis with the SAME POSTAL PERMIT number (5677) that has been used by the VOTE YES campaign materials we’ve all been receiving. The postcard was obviously meant to discredit my name and credentials before I participate in the Consolidation Debate on Wednesday at 7 p.m. on WNIN.

FACT: The Committee To Elect Rick Davis does NOT owe ANY vendors whatsoever from the 2011 mayoral campaign. Rick & Julie Davis paid more than $40,000 out of our own pockets to help pay for outstanding campaign debt. This despite the fact that at the end of last year’s unsuccessful mayoral campaign I was advised by supporters to “SETTLE” my outstanding debts with local vendors and pay them pennies on the dollar for the services they rendered. I replied to a group of advisors that MY NAME was worth more to me than $60,000 and that these people did a good job for me and deserved to be paid our agreed upon amount. Less than a year later, ALL OF THE HARD-WORKING VENDORS have been paid for their services — because my name and my word means more to me than any win-at-all-cost political mindset. My wife and I LOANED The Committee To Elect $40,000+ in order to satisfy the committee’s debts and pay our vendors for their work. We did NOT stiff anybody. To me there’s nothing worse than saying someone doesn’t pay their bills. And that’s the message the Republican Party is trying to say about me. Pure rubbish and as dirty as I’ve ever seen politics played in Evansville. And that’s saying a lot after what we endured last year.

As always, thank you for your support.
Rick

DCS TOWN HALL IN EVANSVILLE SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 15
INDIANAPOLIS – A town hall scheduled to take place in Evansville on October 15 will give residents a chance to air their concerns about the operations of the state’s Department of Child Services (DCS) and offer solutions to improve those services.
          The meeting – scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. October 15 in Room HP 1027 of the Health Professions Center on the campus of the University of Southern Indiana (USI) – will be sponsored by State Rep. Gail Riecken (D-Evansville).
          The town hall is designed to supplement the work presently being done by a legislative study committee examining the current level of services offered to at-risk children in Indiana.
          “It is very difficult for many people to take time away from work to travel to Indianapolis to attend the study committee meetings, which are being conducted exclusively at the Statehouse,” Riecken said. “But we feel that they deserve the opportunity to be heard, and we want to make sure their testimony is part of the deliberations as we attempt to find solutions to the problems that caused this committee to be formed.
          “We have to give area people who have been affected by this issue – including parents, health care givers, local law enforcement and other advocates – every chance to tell their stories,” she continued.
          “Since they are the people who deal with this system first-hand, we also believe they should get the chance to offer ideas that can help DCS respond more quickly and thoroughly to keep our kids safe,” Riecken said. “Their participation is important to have in hand before the committee wraps up its work at the end of October.”
