UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN INDIANA EVENTS
Judy Chicago
An Internationally Recognized Artist
Will Speak at the University of Southern Indiana
Monday, September 13th at 7:30 in Carter Hall
Judy will speak on her iconic Dinner Party installation and other works
The Dinner Party is in every survey of art textbook, nearly every contemporary art theory and criticism text, and is the touchstone for discussions in multiple disciplines. An exhibition on the Dinner Party will open at the Evansville Museum of Arts, Science and History on September 12th through November 28th. Judy is curtailing her public speaking in order to devote herself to her art. I doubt there will be many opportunities to hear her in the future and certainly not in our area. Books by and about Judy Chicago will be available for purchase and she will sign copies after her talk. I want to thank the Art Department, the University Core Curriculum, and the Evansville Museum of Arts, Science and History for joining together to bring one of America’s most preeminent artists. I encourage you to build this lecture into your syllabi and bring your students to the talk.
For more information on the Dinner Party check with site of the Brooklyn Museum http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/dinner_party/

County Commission Candidate, Marsha Abell Sites Need for Second Industrial Park

1


On April 22, 2010, in a candidate’s forum sponsored by the United Neighborhoods of Evansville, republican county commission candidate, Marsha Abell, proposed that the Vanderburgh County Commissioners pursue the possibility of securing land to develop a second industrial park. The current Vanderburgh Industrial Park is on the far northeast side of the county near Interstate 64 and Highway 57. The current industrial park has developed into a mature park, according to Abell, and for progress to be made in Vanderburgh County land needs to be located now. An industrial park with sufficient land for the building and developing of a company is crucial to job creation and economic development in any area. Not only does an industrial park invite new and expanded businesses which provide jobs but it also creates jobs with the building of the facilities for the businesses. The creation of the current industrial park was one of the most successful ventures for economic development in Vanderburgh County and a second park will soon be needed if we are to meet the needs of future business.

The City-County Observer Was Correct Concerning the Executive Inn Trigger Date Extension

5
John Kish

By Don Counts, Editor

On Monday August 2, 2010 the City-County Observer published an article that stated that Audra Levy, the Communications Director for Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel had informed us that the “Trigger Date” between Browning Investments and the Evansville Redevelopment Commission had been amended to August 23, 2010.
Here is what the Law Says:

“It is well-settled in Indiana that boards and commissions speak or act officially only through the minutes and records made at a duly organized meeting.” Brademas v. St. Joseph County Commissioners, 621 N.E.2d 1133,1137 ( Ind. Ct. App. 1993)

In an exchange of emails between a reader of the CCO and Ms. Levy regarding transparency within the local government, Ms. Levy explained the reason for the extension of the “Trigger Date” and that the extension was really “about” 60 days. While that is accurate, being “about” right has no value in legal contracts or horseshoes. Her specific use of the term “about” along with other parts of her email confirms that the City-County Observer was correct in our assertions.

The authorship of “Amendment 1” was simply lacking in attention to detail and could have provided grounds for legal complications. As it turns out Browning’s decision to return ownership of the Executive Inn to the City of Evansville has served to mitigate any potential complications that could have resulted from having the details of “Amendment 1” not exactly matching Resolution 10-ERC-65 that was passed by the Evansville Redevelopment Commission on May 13, 2010, that granted John Kish’s request for a 60 day extension. The legal details at this point have been rendered moot

What is not a moot point and should not be neglected is that someone intentionally wrote “Amendment 1” in a way that was not in conformance with the minutes of the ERC meeting where the extension was authorized. Why would the author of “Amendment 1” do such a thing? Was this to grant additional days without authority to do so? Was this to see if Mr. Goldman could be tricked into signing something that was not conforming to the minutes of the meeting? Was this because the author cannot count to 60 or read a calendar? It is truly baffling, because if the date of August 23rd was requested it would have most certainly been granted.

Good and effective local governance depends on accuracy and openness. Once again, the citizens of Evansville were not given the respect of accuracy and openness. This time we were fortunate. Next time we may not be so fortunate. The devil as they say is in the details, and luckily this time we didn’t get burned. It should not take a “good cop, bad cop” investigative reporting team to have legal documents written as they were authorized and to get public disclosure of important issues of public interests.

Over the course of the last several months, the City-County Observer has in our “Is It True” column, predicted that the Executive Inn project would not obtain financing and that the Executive Inn along with its adjacent parking garage would need to be demolished due to structural problems. Mole #3 will henceforth be known as the Nostradamus of local politics.

CCO READER RESPOND TO ARTICLE ON MAYOR’S PRESS SECRETARY NOT PROVIDING US INFORMATION ON EXECUTIVE INN

2

Mrs. Levy, Mr. Barnett & Mr. Weinzapfel,

I write you all to express that we taxpayers and voters are in no mood for stonewalling, further shenanigans with tax money, and/or this kind of apparent bureaucratic lawlessness at the local level. (Specifically in relation to the topic of this article, https://city-countyobserver.com/?p=567)

There might not be a law you are technically violating, but people can and do make judgments of integrity, honesty and morality in leadership. Those judgments naturally get expressed in opinions, votes, etc. We as citizens are asked to abide by our laws – to the letter – respecting contractual obligations. Not fully explaining what seems to be a reasonable disclosure item of a public contract seems to imply some form of anarchy might exists at worst, but foul political gamesmanship of information at best.

This is our city, and it’s our tax money at stake, correct? Right or wrong, isn’t it your obligation to let us decide how concerned we should be about your administrations actions?

Out with it.

Regards,

Dan Effinger
Evansville, IN

The Poll Results Are In on Local Government Character

4
Dan McGinn
Dr Dan Adams
Wendy Bredhold

McGinn and Adams Dominate with Bredhold a Solid 3rd

During late July the City-County Observer conducted a non-scientific online poll asking the following question:

“Which of the following three City of Evansville elected officials do you consider to be the most transparent, trustworthy, credible and dedicated?”

All of the members of the City Council along with Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel and Alberta Matlock were listed on the survey. The respondents of the survey come from the more than 1,000 unique visitors to the City-County Observer’s website during the week that ended on July 30, 2010. A total of 168 unique users casted a total of 287 votes for an average of 1.7 votes per user. It is obvious that some of the voters chose not to utilize their three votes as the total available to be casted was 504 votes. The tabulation of votes in order of finish is as follows:

Dan McGinn: 91 votes
Dr. Dan Adams: 73 votes
Wendy Bredhold: 24 votes
Curt John: 20 votes
Alberta Matlock: 14 votes
Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel: 13 votes
Missy Mosby: 12 votes
Don Walker: 12 votes
John Friend: 12 votes
Connie Robinson: 11 votes
B. J. Watts: 5 votes

As spotting trends in polls is filled with nuance the City-County Observer will not be assigning any particular policy conclusions to the results of this poll. We do not consider this poll to be an indicator of our reader’s opinions on windmills, smoking, firehouse closures, or construction projects. What is clear from this poll is the trend of the big picture of our readers when it comes to the character of the elected officials of the City of Evansville.

It seems as though the slate of candidates that rode the coattails of Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel into office in his trouncing of republican candidate David Nixon in 2007 as members of Team Weinzapfel, are no longer getting much of a ride. The lone exception to the disappearing coattails of the Mayor is Dr. Dan Adams who was a solid second in the voting with 73 votes. The winner of the poll Dan McGinn is most certainly not a candidate that was backed by the Mayor. Membership on Team Weinzapfel garnered between a low of 5 votes to B. J. Watts to a high of 24 votes for Wendy Bredhold. Ms. Bredhold was appointed to her seat and has shown both a principled and independent streak with her votes.

The clear indication from this poll is that the more a candidate has broken rank with the positions of the Mayor, the higher number of votes they collected. It is clear that the voters in this poll equate principles, independent thought, and a willingness to vote outside of a controlled block to be an indicator of character. The next City of Evansville elections will be in 2011. The early indication is that character, honesty, and transparency will be at the top of peoples list when deciding who to vote for.

The City-County Observer is encouraged that the people of Evansville and in particular our readers are embracing character and honesty as the criteria for election to public office.

Who Will Be the Next Mayor of Evansville: The Poll Results

7

Dan McGinn Councilman

Dan McGinn vs. Rick Davis

During late July the City-County Observer conducted a non-scientific online poll asking our readers who would be the best person to be the next Mayor of Evansville.

Nine members of the community all of whom have had their name mentioned as potential candidates for Mayor were listed in the survey. We also included at the request of a reader the category of “none of the above”. There was no opportunity for someone to write-in the name of another candidate. It must be pointed out that some of these candidates have openly expressed a desire to be Mayor and others have not. The fact that someone is mentioned as a candidate is no guarantee that they have any interest in the office of Mayor of Evansville.
The respondents of the survey come from the more than 1,000 unique visitors to the City-County Observer’s website during the week that ended on July 23, 2010. A total of 243 unique users expressed their preference. The tabulation of votes in order of finish is as follows:

Dan McGinn (R): 77 votes
Rick Davis (D): 44 votes
Erik Williams (D): 27 votes
Lloyd Winnecke (R): 26 votes
NONE OF THE ABOVE: 18 votes
Russell Lloyd Jr. (R): 17 votes
Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel (D): 14 votes
Troy Tornatta (D): 10 votes
Joe Kiefer(R): 7 votes
Steve Melcher (D): 3 votes

Examining the party affiliations leads us to the conclusion that if the primaries were held among our readers that the general election would match Republican City Councilman Dan McGinn against Vanderburgh County Treasurer Rick Davis. Unfortunately neither of these gentlemen has expressed particular interest in the job. Perhaps that is part of the attraction that our readers see in them.

The Democratic primary appears to have the potential for some serious surprises if the slate of candidates contains Sheriff Erik Williams and Rick Davis as both are considered to be well qualified. An interesting twist could really spice up the primary in the event that Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel seeks a third term and/or Commissioner Troy Tornatta, both of whom garnered less support than the “NONE OF THE ABOVE” category throws their hat into the ring. Both are seasoned politicians with fundraising skills and would be formidable candidates in the race.

On the Republican side, it is about time that Evansville fielded a credible candidate and we expect that Wayne Parke will assure that happens not only for Mayor but for all of the Council seats as well. Councilman Dan McGinn, our top vote getter has not expressed any aggressive interest in the job. County Commissioner Lloyd Winnecke and County Councilman and former Mayor Russell Lloyd Jr. are the next highest vote getters in our poll. Both are experienced in running a campaign but only Winnecke has expressed interests in becoming the next Mayor of Evansville. However Winnecke, like his close political friend Mayor Weinzapfel, must overcome the secret meetings where the Homestead Tax Credit scheme was hatched along with the controversial salary arrangement between Tom Barnett, the City of Evansville, and Gage, where both Winnecke and Mayor Weinzapfel sit on the executive committee. As this poll was conducted prior to the recent election of Wayne Parke as Republican Party Chairman, the residual effects of that election are not reflected in our poll.

The City-County Observer is encouraged that the people of Evansville in another poll and in particular our readers are embracing character and honesty as the criteria for election to public office. We encourage an honest and issue driven 2011 election season for all City of Evansville offices.
