IS IT TRUE June 5, 2012
IS IT TRUE the City County Observer is solidly on track to exceed ONE MILLION PAGEVIEWS in 2012 and continues to grow readership depth and breadth?…with some good election related traffic in the second half of the year that another year of over 50% growth in readership is highly probable?…that what some still refer to as a fledgling blog has maintained its lead in total time online readership over every other local media outlet and the Louisville Courier Journal during what is traditionally a downtime for local political news?
IS IT TRUE Earthcare Energy is how supposedly going to make and interest payment $381.47 tomorrow which is contractually sufficient to cover the interest on a $200,000 loan the Economic Development Loan Committee approved without City Council knowledge?…this is just one more example of the inept contract written by and signed by the City of Evansville?…that this is just one more indication that this little debacle is heading for court or a settlement in Earthcare’s favor due to the foolish way the Winnecke Administration managed the people of Evansville’s money?
IS IT TRUE that polling now indicates that 38% of the American people now reject both political parties and consider themselves to be independent?…the 38% of independents is larger than the percentage of supporters who respond that they are either Republicans or Democrats?…that the combined percentage of people identifying with one of the major parties is down to only 60% which is an all time low?…that the CCO thinks that independent thought was the most important thing that the United States of America was founded on and encourages independence at the polls?
IS IT TRUE that the son of Sean Combs (Puff Daddy or P. Diddy) is coming under fire for being offered an athletic scholarship at UCLA?…the reason that Diddy’s son is attracting all of this scrutiny is because his father is a very rich man from a long and successful career in entertainment?…that to raise a ruckus over the fact that Diddy is wealthy when it comes to an athletic scholarship for his son is simply preposterous?…that if Sean Comb’s son is one of the elite performers in his sport and UCLA want him to become a Bruin that the price of his athletic services is a scholarship and he should get the scholarship just as an athlete from a poor family should?…that anyone who seriously thinks that Diddy’s son should not get an athletic scholarship because his father is wealthy is an entitlement minded person driven by envy and needs to come to grips with the fruits of talent?
IS IT TRUE today is another day of opportunity for the Winnecke Administration and the Evansville City Council to start the VETTING of the Johnson Controls deal that Mayor Weinzapfel shoved through without City Council approval two days before he left office?…that the sooner that Mayor Winnecke learns that everything that Mayor Weinzapfel did was not perfect and should be subject to VETTING is one day sooner that Mayor Winnecke can start to become his own man and not be seen as a surrogate of the ex-Mayor?…that the Winnecke campaign was awarded a 2011 Mole award from the City County Observer for running a transparent, open, and highly professional campaign?…that we stand beside the award that the CCO presented the Winnecke campaign with?…that we have seen how professional and competent of an organization that Lloyd Winnecke can assemble and encourage him to be as good at serving the people of Evansville as Mayor as he ran his own campaign for that office?…that a critical part of being that person is leaning how to VET and assuring that VETTING is done on every project?
