This time, the Evansville City Council has denied Mayor Winnecke's request to transfer proceeds from the Roberts Stadium auction to the demolition fund thus, delaying the demolition yet again. The time has come to resolve this issue one way or the other and leave partisan politics out of this.

The first meeting was held last night at the Centre and the turnout was very light, only about 40 showed up. The 40 that were there, did make the meeting very productive and some very good, well thought out ideas were presented.
