IS IT TRUE? November 2, 2011
IS IT TRUE that the City County Observer would like to commend Vanderburgh County Commissioner Stephen Melcher for calling his own party out for not paying their bills?…that Commissioner Melcher acknowledged that there was a long standing debt incurred by the Vanderburgh County Democrat Party for having an event at the Centre in October of 2010?…that Commissioner Melcher and other enlightened and responsible Democrats should keep the leadership of the local Democratic Party’s feet to the fire to PAY THEIR DEBTS, TELL THE TRUTH, and be the kind of people that the general public expects leaders of political parties to be?…that the recent dead beat finances, BoothGate, FloatGate, EndorseGate, etc. etc. etc. has literally made a laughing stock of the entire City of Evansville?
IS IT TRUE that at this point the Vanderburgh Democratic Central Committee cannot book an event at the Centre for non-payment, are being sued by the Baurhaus for non-payment, and will be facing very serious difficulties in finding a place to have a victory party in case any of their candidates are elected next Tuesday?…that the City County Observer would like to suggest that the election night party of the Vanderburgh County Democratic Central Committee should book their event at Roberts Stadium as the last event there was a celebration dinner?
IS IT TRUE that $3,500/23 = $152.17?…that this amount from each of “The 23” signers of the “Declaration of Drop Dead State Democratic Party” ponied up $152.17 that the Bauerhaus could be paid off in full today?…that it will start to be mystifying if this does not happen in the next few days?
IS IT TRUE that the CCO would like to thank the Vanderburgh Democratic Central Committee for supplying us with yet another GATE?..CHICKENGATE!!!…that we also are assured of yet another day of record traffic?…that by the end of this day November 2, 2011 that the CCO will have more pageviews than it attracted in all of November of 2010 when there were no GATES at all to speak of?…that well there was BoothGate, but it had not become a habit yet?…that the other new word now is CENTREGATE?????
IS IT TRUE that in spite of all of the idiocy and antics of the local Democratic Party that the business world moves forward?…that we know of entrepreneurs in three Evansville businesses that are expanding and are doing so without sticking their paw out for some greasing from the public trough?…that this is why entrepreneurs and only entrepreneurs will ever bring this town and this country out of the Great Recession?…that while the big companies that thrive on paying under-motivated and undereducated people paltry wages are shaking down local governments for incentives, the entrepreneurs just move forward?…that governments are a burden to entrepreneurs?…that banks are not interested in the business of entrepreneurs?…that this is why people like Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Bill Gates, and others for the most part just laugh at the ineptness of politics and have enough money to buy banks?
IS IT TRUE that the exposing of the shortcomings in political strongfolks is exactly what has been needed in Evansville for a half a century?…that whether we end up with a Mayor Winnecke or a Mayor Davis that if the “machine†is completely dismantled that this hotly contested election season and the next 7 days of hell will be worth it?…that these are the kinds of changes that Evansville has needed for many many years?
