I hear the complaint from citizens all the time: “I wish politics weren’t bought and paid for by corporations”.  Well, this is the year that you, the voting citizen, can stand up and make a change in Evansville.  There are three candidates running for mayor.  I am the only candidate not accepting campaign contributions from corporations, PAC’s or lobbyists.  This means I will owe ZERO favors to anyone if elected mayor!  

I ask that every voter look at the October 13th election campaign financial report before voting for the next mayor.  I will post it on my website, www.PeopleOverPolitics.vote as well as my Facebook www.facebook.com/MichaelDaughertyforMayor .  Here are some things you should notice:

1.              The other two candidates have accepted donations from out-of-town corporations.  Notice the money coming from Indianapolis for Rascher, and the money coming from ActBlue based in Somerville, MA for Stephanie.  Why are out-of-town entities interested in Evansville politics?

2.   The other two candidates are spending large amounts of money on their campaign.  Please read their CFA-4 and see the hundreds of thousands of dollars being contributed and spent.  Please note the out-of-town company hired by Stephanie Terry, The Guerilla Politic from Detroit Michigan(Resource: Page 4 of 4 – Schedule B – Friends of Stephanie Terry) spending $14,210.32 before the primary filing report, and Natalie Rascher hiring Brabender Cox out of Leesburg, Virginia(Resource: Page 4 of 4 CFA-4 Schedule B – 2023-APR-14 – Friends of Natalie Rascher), spending a disgusting $148,207.00 prior to the primary filing report.

3.  You will notice that as of October 1, 2023, I have spent less than $15,000.00 total on my campaign. 

Who would you rather trust your tax dollars with, candidates who have accepted large amounts of money from out of town and then spent that money on out-of-town services, or someone who will take office not owing anyone and knows how to spend wisely and save your money?”

EPA Launches Online Tool Providing Energy Use Data and Insights from ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager®

New web tool shows energy use data from 150,000 commercial and multi-family buildings

WASHINGTON (Oct. 25, 2023) — Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the launch of a web-based tool that enables users to explore aggregate energy use data from more than 150,000 commercial and multi-family buildings in the United States. The new Data Explorer tool will help building managers unlock potential savings based on the data from ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager®, the nation’s largest energy benchmarking platform for commercial and multifamily buildings. The Portfolio Manager Data Explorer is the latest in a suite of tools from EPA to help propel the adoption of energy-efficiency practices through market-based information.

“Improving the energy efficiency of our commercial and multifamily buildings is critical to reaching our nation’s ambitious climate goals,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “By providing greater transparency into energy use trends across regions and building types, users will be better equipped to target investment, shape policy, and unlock the untapped savings potential of more than 6 million buildings across the nation.”

With the Portfolio Manager Data Explorer, users can quickly understand how the energy use of buildings in Portfolio Manager varies based on the type of building, where it is located, its size, and a variety of key metrics. Building owners and managers can access more granular comparative metrics to see how their buildings perform against similar buildings in their area, and policymakers can view and download energy use metrics at the local and state level to refine building performance policies.

Data in the Portfolio Manager Data Explorer comes from EPA’s ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, an online energy measurement and tracking tool that serves as a trusted platform for building owners and managers, energy service and product providers, and building performance policies across the nation. EPA conducted a rigorous process to clean the data, with the final dataset for each year including over 150,000 U.S. properties of all types. To ensure privacy, searching for an individual property is not possible and a query must return six or more properties to show aggregated results.

After Lindenwood tied the match at 1-1, USI regained the advantage, 2-1, on a tally by freshman midfielder Pablo Juan (St. Louis, Missouri) at 43:06.

Eagles’ season ends against Trojans in OVC quarterfinals

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The 2023 season for University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer came to a heartbreaking end Sunday afternoon at Strassweg Field with a 3-1 loss to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in the Ohio Valley Conference Women’s Soccer Championship quarterfinals.

The Screaming Eagles finished the 2023 campaign with a 4-8-7 overall record while going 3-2-4 in the OVC regular season. USI’s solid season illustrated the next step forward as a D-I program after tying for third place in the OVC and being awarded the chance to host an OVC tournament match for the first time as the No. 4 seed. Plus, Southern Indiana made it 2-for-2 in earning an OVC Tournament berth since joining the conference in 2022, improving from a first-round appearance last year to being a quarterfinalist this year.
 
In the battle of the 4-versus-8 seeds, Sunday’s match was played in soggy conditions, as both squads had to acclimate to the rainy, muddy conditions. Despite the tough terrain, each team was able to find early chances.
 
Within the first two minutes of the contest, USI freshman midfielder Pilar Torres (Chula Vista, California) took a low shot that was saved by Little Rock’s sophomore goalkeeper Peyton Urban. A minute later, the Trojans went the other direction and had a shot deflect off the goalpost.
 
USI senior midfielder Paige Vanek (St. Charles, Missouri) had two shots saved by Urban in the middle of the first half. Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Anna Markland (Hoover, Alabama) matched Urban with a pair of saves in the middle of the opening half for the Eagles. The defenses continued to stand tall, keeping the match scoreless into halftime.
 
Two minutes into the start of the second stanza, Little Rock broke the 0-0 deadlock when a loose ball off a corner kick cross was knocked into the goal by the Trojans’ senior defender Sanaa Williams. Little Rock later doubled its lead to 2-0 in the 63rd minute when a build-up through the midfield led to a long-range shot by Trojans’ sophomore Madison Eisner that snuck under the top corner of the goal. Little Rock added a third goal just a few minutes later.
 
With the minutes ticking and the physicality of the game ramping up, USI looked to create opportunities in the attacking half with a sense of urgency. In the 72nd minute, Southern Indiana cut the deficit down to two when a cross from out wide by Torres ricocheted off a Trojan and into the goal. It was the fourth goal of the season for the USI freshman. Torres had another attempt blocked late in the second half.
 
Little Rock (7-4-8, 2-3-4) closed out the 3-1 win to advance to Thursday’s semifinals against No. 1-seeded Tennessee Tech University.
 
For the game, Southern Indiana had seven shots with four on goal, and Little Rock took 14 shots with eight on target. Torres led USI with three shots, placing two on frame. Vanek had two shots, both on goal. Between the posts, Markland once again played a full 90 minutes and made five saves. Additionally, USI’s two defensive centerback leaders, redshirt freshman Abby Rhoutsong (Newburgh, Indiana) and sophomore Charli Grafton (Sunriver, Oregon), played a full 90 minutes as they have for nearly the entire season.
 
“It is a building process with this D-I transition, and I am very pleased with the season and our team’s efforts,” USI Head Coach Eric Schoenstein said. “It is about developing for the future and building a winning culture. I am thrilled with everything our players have done, getting better each day. Nothing but positives moving forward from this great season.”

On the second day, the Eagles climbed to three slots with the one-over 289 in the second round. Senior Jace Day (Bloomington, Indiana) and junior Jason Bannister (Laguna Niguel, California) led the way for the Eagles’ move up the standing with a 70 and 72, respectively.
 
Day rose from a tie for 19th after the first round to a tie for seventh as USI’s top finisher, shooting 144 (74-70). Vertanen fell from sixth to 14th at the end of the tournament with a 147 (71-76), while Bannister had a 148 (76-72) to tie for 20th overall.
