IS IT TRUE that the Evansville City Council has not received any update or listing of the expenditures connected with the Arena Project? …. that the City Council very interested in the resolution requested to have a quarterly financial updates since they are the custodians of the money for the Arena project?……that this lack of communication is what caused the spirit of “throw the bums out” that manifested itself at the ballot box in the 2010 election?…. the Evansville City Council requested and was committed to be given these reports by Mr. John Kish project manager of the Arena to be given a copy of all contracts between the Evansville Redevelopment Commission, the Department of Metropolitan Development, or the City? …. that refusing to make timely and accurate reports to the City Council is arrogant, irresponsible, promotes poor public relations, and is another example of bad public policy?….that this is just one more reason that the people of Evansville are looking to someone other than Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel for leadership? ….that the City County Observer encourages each and every citizen of Evansville to watch WNIN tomorrow night to see if Mr. Kish will shine some light on these unanswered questions?

IS IT TRUE that over 8,700 Vanderburgh County households received a Notice of Assessment of Land and Structures – Form 11 R/A dated and mailed on November 4, 2010 just two days after the 2010 election?…..that these Form 11 R/A‘s were to advise these Vanderburgh County homeowners that the assessed value of their houses has been increased?…..that the value of housing in Vanderburgh County like the rest of the United States has DECREASED over the last several years?…..that these notices were prepared to mail BEFORE THE ELECTION but for some mysterious reason were not mailed until AFTER THE ELECTION? ….that if these Notices of Assessment of Land and Structures would have been for the purpose of notifying Vanderburgh County homeowners that their assessments were being reduced to reflect the true market conditions that they may have been mailed BEFORE THE ELECTION with an appropriate press conference?

IS IT TRUE that Mole #12 received one of the Notices of Assessment of Land and Structures advising it that its Molehill has increased in value by $41,300?….that Mole #12’s neighbors home sold this year for 20% below the new assessment of Mole #12’s house? …..that Mole #12’s house is smaller than its neighbors house that just sold for 20% below Mole #12’s newly assessed value?…..that based on its neighbors comparable house Mole #12’s Molehill should be assessed at its current market value that is 26% below the new assessment?…..that the State of Indiana is mandated by law to have market value assessments?…..that competence of valuation is vital to the process of taxing property?…..that Mole #12 will be appealing this politically driven and incorrect assessment in the very near future and encouraging his neighbors many of whom received these bogus assessments to do the same?

IS IT TRUE that the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation (EVSC) conducted a survey of parents and staff to see what they would be graded for quality of education?….that a full 90% of EVSC staff gave themselves an A (excellent) or a B (good) rating while 80% of parents did the same?…..that the proof in the school systems success is in the success of the students as opposed to the opinions of the staff or the parents?……that the student of EVSC continue to score below the Indiana state averages on the ISTEP tests?….that the EVSC earned a Great Schools Organization rating of 4 on a scale of 10 with 10 being the highest?….that if any student got a 40% (4 of 10) on a test of any kind that the student would get a failing grade (F)?…..that our less below average academic performance in traditional metrics is a D?….that the EVSC staff and the parents of Vanderburgh County students may just be confusing a nice experience with a quality education?

IS IT TRUE: November 6, 2010

IS IT TRUE that Mole #3 has confirmed from a highly placed informant that Rick Davis will be announcing his candidacy for Mayor of Evansville?….that his announcement will be taking place on November 11, 2010?…..that this announcement will occur at a press conference that will be at the Soldiers and Sailors Coliseum?….that the time of the announcement will be 6 PM.

IS IT TRUE that another highly placed Mole tells us that the $32.00 political war chest that Mr. Davis accumulated prior to the November 2nd election day will be growing quite rapidly?….that donors from all walks of life and all economic situations have been making commitments of financial support to a “Davis for Mayor” campaign?…..that the City County Observer encourages all of our readers to vote in our poll for the people’s choice for the Democratic nominee for Mayor of Evansville?

IS IT TRUE that a very reliable and highly placed source has told the City County Observer that current Mayor of Evansville, Jonathan Weinzapfel will not announce his candidacy for a third term as Mayor if Rick Davis makes his announcement official first?…that Mr. Davis will most likely remind the voters of the following political liabilities facing Mayor Weinzapfel if he decides to run for a third term?….that these political liabilities include the Tom Barnett/GAGE salary deal, the Homestead Tax Credit Fiasco, the Westside Annexation, proposing to close Firestations #10 and #14, building the Arena without a referendum, behind the scenes manipulation that is favorable to spending $18 Million of the CVB’s money on 8 ball fields, the McCurdy Condo project that has been dormant for over 2 years, the $655,000 parking lot at the McCurdy, an overabundance of political contributors getting contracts with the City of Evansville, the Executive Inn Dilemma, wasting millions of dollars on the Front Door Pride program building $200,000 houses to sell for an average price of $100,000, spending $142,000 for a green brick alley at Haynie’s Corner, hiring City Council member and political ally Kieth Jarboe as Fire Chief after an “executive national” search, for not giving cost of living raises to hardworking City of Evansville employees for years?

Riverhouse Sells for $375,000! Will the McCurdy be Impacted?

McCurdy

In November of 2007 local businessman Frank Peterlin through a company called Riverhouse LLC sold the Riverhouse Hotel to Van Natta Holdings VII of Seymour, Indiana for $4,775,000. Mr. Peterlin’s business had acquired the Riverhouse from Associates Commercial Group just four and a half years earlier for $668,744.
Today the former River House Hotel was sold at sheriff’s auction on Friday to Centra Credit Union of Columbus, Ind., with a winning bid of only $375,000. The bidding on the hotel that’s addresses are 119 – 127 and 201 – 207 Southeast First Avenue was attempted to get a start at $2 million but did not receive a bid until the auctioneer dropped the amount to $200,000. The winning bid of $375,000 came from Centra that holds the mortgage on the property. A Centra Credit Union representative stated that they believe that this property is current undervalued and is planning to do some maintenance and repairs before attempting to resell it at a higher price.
The once elegant downtown hotel, now called the River Walk Plaza Hotel & Suites, is assessed for $3,177,600 according to the Vanderburgh County Assessors website. The taxes on the property are listed as $82,589 per year with a cap of $95,328. As the State of Indiana mandates market value assessments, the assessment on this property should be decreased to $375,000 soon removing nearly all of the property taxes from Centra’s annual obligation.

What about the McCurdy?

As the Riverhouse is right next door to the McCurdy that has been scheduled for extensive renovation and conversion to apartments, how will this diminished valuation affect the efforts to secure the financing to start the McCurdy project? As the properties are similar in size and use does this make the McCurdy worth only $375,000 in its present form? Both hotels have been abandoned for a time and both have had financial issues that have prevented moving forward with maintenance and improvements. Only time will tell.

IS IT TRUE that Troy Tornatta has gone public with the fact that he had a supposed “knockout punch” TV commercial queued up and ready to run the weekend before the election for Vanderburgh County Commissioner?…that this commercial was designed to lay the blame for the SECRET HOMESTEAD TAX CREDIT GRAB MEETING on Marsha Abell to win some votes?…..that Mr. Tornatta expressed that a commercial putting Mrs. Abell in the room when the SECRET MEETING was held at MAYOR WEINZAPFEL’S office would eliminate her from being an electable candidate?….that Commissioner Tornatta let Mayor Weinzapfel coerce him into pulling the commercial?….that Mayor Weinzapfel by doing this chose himself over Commissioner Tornatta’s seat on the Vanderburgh County Commission….that Commissioner Tornatta wouldn’t have retained his seat on the Vanderburgh County Commissioners if he had followed his own instincts instead of changing his plans to appease Mayor Weinzapfel?….that a commercial very similar to Commissioner Tornatta’s commercial WILL BE AIRED in whatever election that Mayor Weinzapfel chooses to pursue next?

IS IT TRUE that every legitimate vote should be counted and counted correctly?….that election fraud, electioneering, and tampering with provisional or absentee ballots are serious crimes that undermine our form of government?…..that making such an allegation without something to back it up also undermines our elected form of government?……that the City County Observer truly hopes that every election was fair, that fraud and voter intimidation did not occur, and that the real winners are seated in their positions and do a good job for their entire term of office?

IU Forecast: Slow Growth in 2011

November 4, 2010

News Releases

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana University economists presenting their annual forecast today (Nov. 4) expect that the current historically weak recovery will continue into 2011, with continued challenges for the national labor market.

“The past year has been one of disappointingly weak recovery, and, sadly, we expect that 2011 will bring more of the same,” concluded Bill Witte, associate professor emeritus of economics at IU and a member of the Kelley School of Business’ annual Business Outlook Panel.

“The watchword for the economy going into the New Year is uncertainty — uncertainty about the political climate; uncertainty about taxes; uncertainty about commodity prices; uncertainty about Fed policy and interest rates; uncertainty about the dollar,” Witte added. “Until some of this uncertainty is removed, the prospects for a robust recovery will remain dim.”

Witte, who also co-directs the Center for Econometric Model Research at IU, remarked that the U.S. economy has been a model of “diabolical consistency.” In 2008 and the first half of 2009, it produced the worst recession since the Great Depression. Since then, it has produced the worst recovery since World War II.

Over the five quarters since the economy hit bottom, total growth has totaled only 3.5 percent. By the declared end of the Great Recession in June 2009, private sector employment had shrunk by 6.1 percent (more than 7 million jobs), and it continued to decline after recovery began. He said the recovery also seems to have lost momentum.

The Kelley School panel said the economy overall will expand at about a 3 percent rate in 2011, between the fourth quarters of this year and the next. “This will be a little better than 2010, but not enough to make much progress against the damage done during the recession,” Witte said.

This is a much more sluggish recovery than typical after past recessions.

While slow economic growth also is expected for both the state of Indiana and the metropolitan Indianapolis area, members of the Kelley School panel do see signs that job growth may be a little better in the Hoosier state than elsewhere.

Jerry Conover, director of the Indiana Business Research Center, noted that Indiana’s real gross domestic product (GDP) growth has trailed the nation for several years, but this year it appears to be outpacing the nation modestly. He believes that Indiana’s output will accelerate in 2011, growing by 3 to 4 percent over 2010 levels.

He noted that while the recession hit Indiana workers hard — payroll jobs declined by 7.6 percent during that period. The state ranks fifth nationally in terms the rate of job growth in 2010. Indiana has regained about 18 percent of the jobs it has lost — attributable largely to gains in private education and health care services and public sector employment. Construction employment in Indiana remains near the bottom. Manufacturing, which also was hit hard, is slowly growing.

Conover said 2011 payroll growth in Indiana will remain at around its current 2 percent level, which would add about 50,000 jobs. “The increase is from a very weak base level,” he said. “We probably won’t hit pre-recession peak employment until 2013 or beyond.”

Similarly, the Indianapolis metropolitan area will continue to recover slowly over the course of 2011. “However, the recovery will be modest and leave economic growth below historic levels and unemployment above normal levels, even by the end of the year,” said Kyle Anderson, clinical assistant professor of business economics in the Kelley School of Business at Indianapolis.

“The coming year should bring some modest improvement to the Indianapolis economy,” Anderson said. “The recession of 2008-09 did not hit Indianapolis as hard as the rest of the state. Unfortunately, the recovery has less steam here as well.”

As a result, Anderson suggests that rate of growth of economic output in Indianapolis will be between 2 to 3 percent, and still significantly below pre-recession levels between 2003 and 2006.

The panel its forecast this morning at the Columbia Club in Indianapolis. It also will present national, state and local economic forecasts in nine other cities across the state through Nov. 16. A detailed report on the outlook for 2011 will be published in the winter issue of the Indiana Business Review, available in December on the Web at www.ibrc.indiana.edu/ibr.

Here are other highlights from today’s forecast:

• Joblessness will remain a challenge, with the unemployment rate for the state still above 9 percent for most of 2011

• Reflecting modest projected jobs growth, Indiana’s personal incomes will rise moderately but consistently through 2011, averaging about 3.5 percent in current dollars.

• 2011 will be marked by very low inflation nationally, below 1 percent, which will continue through the coming year, as consumer spending is expected to rise very slowly.

• The housing sector has hit bottom nationally, but the large overhang of homes facing foreclosure will prevent any significant rebound in construction during most of 2011. In Indiana, the housing market will show some growth; but, like the overall economy, it will be muted.

• The Federal Reserve will maintain its near-zero position on short-term interest rates through 2011. Mortgage rates will remain quite low by historical standards, though some rise from this year’s bargain-basement levels is likely. Lenders will continue to be tight with credit.

• Energy prices are expected to rise moderately in 2011 in the absence of any major supply or security disruptions, with oil prices remaining below $80 per barrel.

• The federal budget deficit will remain very high, and any Congressional efforts to contain it will likely have an impact only slowly. State and local budgets will remain strained by slow revenue growth, the disappearance of federal stimulus spending, and weakened property values.

• The world economy is expected to grow by 4.2 percent in 2011, down from this year’s pace. Mounting tensions are building between the advanced economies and the emerging economies, reflecting the uneven pace of recovery (2.2 percent for developing countries vs. 7 percent for emerging countries). Responses to such tensions could limit the role of export growth in boosting the U.S. economy.

The starting point for the forecast is an econometric model of the United States, developed by IU’s Center for Econometric Model Research, which analyzes numerous statistics to develop a national forecast for the coming year. A similar econometric model of Indiana provides a corresponding forecast for the state’s economy based on the national forecast plus data specific to Indiana. The Business Outlook Panel then adjusts the forecast to reflect additional insights it has on the economic situation.

This year’s tour is sponsored by IU’s Kelley School of Business, the IU Alumni Association, IU campuses and various community organizations. A complete schedule of the Business Outlook Panel tour is available online at http://newsinfo.iu.edu/news/page/normal/15977.html.

The Libertarian Party of Indiana Maintains Ballot Access for Four More Years

0

November 3, 2010

The Libertarian Party of Indiana will maintain ballot access for four more years because of their achievement of six percent in the Secretary of State race. Libertarian Mike Wherry earned 100,847 votes which is the highest number of votes cast for a single candidate in the LPIN’s history.

Automatic ballot access is granted to a political party that reaches two percent of the vote while the ten percent mark enters a political party in to the primary system. In 2006, Mike Kole received 54,381 (3.3%) votes. Rebecca Sink-Burris was the party’s candidate in 2002, and received 60,937 (4.1%) votes.

“Throughout the campaign, I can’t count the times I heard people say they agree with Libertarians, but feel they’re wasting a vote,” said Wherry. “Last night, we proved once again that our libertarian philosophy is spreading across the state. Our team topped 100,000 votes for the first time in the Secretary of State’s race. This means our county organizations and their candidates can continue their growth without the burden of petitioning.”

Wherry continues, “With municipal elections around the corner, maintaining our ballot access was critical. It’s this level where we stand to really see victories. Admittedly, it’s tough to compete in a statewide race as a third party. But, when put in a local race where we know our neighbors, have been active in service clubs, and our churches, we will be very tough competition. We can’t compete if we have to expend our resources just to get on the ballot. That’s why last night’s record vote total was so important.”

State Chair Sam Goldstein shared Wherry’s point of view.

“Ballot access is the key to our survival as the state’s only third party,” said Goldstein. “In many races across the state, we were the only other choice in many local and state races. We view electoral competition to be as important to the health of Indiana as economic competition.”

ABOUT THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY
The Libertarian Party is America, and Indiana’s, third largest political party founded in 1971 as an alternative to the two main political parties. Its vision is for a world in which all individuals can freely exercise the natural right of sole dominion over their own lives, liberty and property by building a political party that elects Libertarians to public office, and moving public policy in a libertarian direction.

The Libertarian Party of Indiana was formed in 1974, and has maintained ballot access since 1994. Sam Goldstein, an Indianapolis resident, currently serves as Chairman.

Mole #3 is Still King of the Molehill

1

Mole #3 is eagerly awaiting District #76 results to assert continued dominance of the title “Nostradamus of Local Politics”. Mole #3 was challenged by 8 other Moles in the contest to see which Mole was the best at projecting winners of the 2010 Elections in Southwest Indiana.

Mole #69 made a valiant effort and appeared to have matters within striking distance of Mole #3 after last night’s certifiable results. Coming into the morning Mole #3 had only one miss with Mole #69 having two misses with the contests for Indiana House of Representatives in Districts 75 and 76 too close to call. Mole #3 had projected Ron Bacon as the winner while Mole #69 projected that Mike Goebel would be making the spring pilgrimage to Indianapolis for the next two years.

In the hotly contested and still not determined race for District 76 between Bob Deig and Wendy McNamara separated by only 30 votes last night with two more precincts to count Mole #3 who picked Bob Deig and Mole #69 who went with Wendy Mac, had the potential to trade places on the top of the Molehill.

When District 75 broke for Ron Bacon with the Gibson County ballots counted Mole #3 secured the victory and another election season of claiming the title of “Nostradamus of Local Politics”. Without regard to the outcome of the District 76 race that is now only separated by 8 votes and is certainly destined for a recount, Mole #3 is still #1 among the City County Observer Moles.

Mole #69 will have to be satisfied with a strong second place and will for the next year be wearing the crown of “Jeane Dixon of Local Politics”.
