IS IT TRUE that the discovery today that the Bauerhaus has filed a lawsuit to be paid for the food that was consumed at the Achievement Awards banquet held by the Vanderburgh County Democratic Party today was somewhat of a surprise because people who attended actually paid way more than the cost of the fried chicken to attend?…that this dinner was a fund raiser?…that certainly enough funds were raised to pay for the buffet style fried chicken and all the fixins dinner that was served?…that it merits concern anytime that a local business gets stiffed on a tab that we understand is just under the $3,500 limit that small claims courts allow?…that the attorney representing the Bauerhaus is a well know Democrat named Curt J. Angermier so this lawsuit does not appear to be politically motivated at all?…that one would think that someone in the inner circle of the Vanderburgh Democrat Party would have just stepped forward and paid this tab before it came to this?

IS IT TRUE that Mole #49 tells the City County Observer that this is not the only outstanding debt that the Vanderburgh County Democrat Party has?…that we are digging into this right now and expect to be making another post regarding the debts of the Democrat Party as early as tonight?…that now that we are speaking of debt that we are reminded that the “Report of Receipts and Expenditures of a Political Committee” report filed by the Vanderburgh County Democratic Party as required by law with Susan Kirk, the Clerk of the Vanderburgh County Circuit Court on October 21, 2011, CLEARLY STATED THAT THE DEBTS OWED BY THE COMMITTEE OR TO THE COMMITTEE ARE IDENTICALLY EQUAL TO ZERO?

IS IT TRUE that there is no question that the “Report of Receipts and Expenditures of a Political Committee” report filed by the Vanderburgh County Democratic Party is not correct?…that Bauerhaus was most certainly the site of the Awards Banquet?…that they have no reason at all to file a small claim against an organization that has been a long time customer of theirs so let’s just assume that their claim is valid?…that we wonder if the fact that no debts are listed by the Vanderburgh County Democrat Party on an official court document is the result of POOR FINANCIAL OVERSIGHT?…that if this is just a simple mistake then when the facts that we anticipate coming later today from Mole #49 are released if POOR becomes ABYSMAL, or INTENTIONAL?…that even if the Vanderburgh County Democratic Party admitted the debts, they do not have the money to pay them?…that the “Report of Receipts and Expenditures of a Political Committee” report filed by the Vanderburgh County Democratic Party shows a cash balance of only $2,152.16?

IS IT TRUE that getting stiffed on a debt seems to be the prevailing behavior in Evansville recently?…that Klenck Construction is still waiting for a satisfactory arrangement for being paid for work completed on the City of Evansville owned property that the Executive Inn and its parking garage sat on?…that Ford Center project manager John Kish stated clearly that the City of Evansville was not obligated or planning to pay for that debt which is over $300,000?…that both the Vanderburgh County Democratic Party, City of Evansville, and the Ford Center Project have somehow found plenty of money to pay OUT OF TOWN CONSULTANTS who make political contributions?…that the practice of stiffing LOCAL BUSINESSES and LOCAL TAXPAYERS must cease immediately?…that we expect to elaborate a bit more on the stiffing of Vanderburgh County Taxpayers very soon?

IS IT TRUE that we call upon someone who values the lost integrity of the Vanderburgh County Democrat Party to step forward with $3,500 and earmark a contribution to pay the Bauerhaus immediately?…that if not many people may be voting next week with the bad taste of 4 month old unpaid for chicken in their mouths?

IS IT TRUE that yesterday the City County Observer published an overview of some votes that have already been recorded for the 2011 City of Evansville elections?…that the file was labeled “absentee” but that the large number of ballots that were reported makes us believe that this may be a combination of absentee and early voting as it was nearly one-third of the total votes recorded during the record low turnout of 2007?…that the votes recorded thus far in the two Wards (1 & 5) that are traditionally Republican exceeds the turnout of the other four Wards (2, 3, 4, & 6) by nearly 20%?…that if this is any kind of an early indicator on projected turnout that it indicates that the Republican turnout will be higher than is typical and that the Democrat turnout will be lower than typical?…that it is little nuances like shifts in turnout that always seem to make for unpredictable elections that break with the norm?

IS IT TRUE that Mole #23 the EVSC is having a bit of an issue with bus drivers calling in sick?…that this sounds like an old fashioned “sick out”?…that Mole #23 also tells us that the contract between EVSC and the Teamsters is in negotiation right now and that may be the source of the ill drivers?…that teachers get sick days and that all school districts have a stable of substitute teachers that can be called upon so instruction continues when a teacher is sick?…that it does not seem to be as mechanized with bus drivers as Mole #23 also tells us that most everyone with a CDL license and a pulse has been drafted into driving routes?…that getting children to school safe and on time SHOULD BE the first priority of someone who chooses to drive a school bus for a living?…that if a negotiating strategy is to play sick in enough numbers that children miss school or parents miss work over a negotiation there is something very wrong with the system that enables such a condition to exist?

IS IT TRUE that Mole #44 now tells us that the decision on what is going to happen going forward with the downtown Convention Hotel will be announced within 10 days?…that this mole even says that a memo exists to that effect and that both john Kish and Mayor Weinzapfel have confirmed it privately?…that this is conveniently the day after the election?…that it would be quite interesting to hear what both of the candidates for Mayor of Evansville have to say about such a large decision being delayed until they have no voice in the matter AND approved right before they take over and suffer the consequences of Mayor Weinzapfel’s lame duck decision?

IS IT TRUE that the tally with respect to TARP bailout funds is now that the federal government put in $411 Billion and has been repaid $316 Billion?…that the total needing to be collected to break even is now down to $95 Billion?…that $50.4 Billion of that is from AIG and $26.3 Billion of it is from General Motors?…that this makes those two companies 80% of the unpaid loans by themselves?…that maybe there should not be any such thing as too big to fail?

IS IT TRUE that both candidates for Mayor gave good interviews on News 14 last night regarding Evansville’s meth problem?…that this is one giant problem and that we are certain that both are biting off enough to choke them with this problem?…that the next Mayor of Evansville is going to need some serious citizen support to supplement law enforcement to really make a dent in the meth problem?…that this will take perseverance, resolve, and ingenuity to make a dent in as meth is now a way of life in Evansville, IN?…that we applaud both candidates for their willingness to recognize this problem and to open a dialog about some solutions?
