Today, I am very pleased to report that the wheels are now in motion towards getting Oak Hill and Locust Hill Cemeteries back into a condition that is respectable and honorable.
City Councilman John Friend has submitted a resolution that will be placed on the docket for this Monday's meeting calling for additional funds to repair and renovate our two city cemeteries...

I would like to thank Councilman Friend for bringing about a quick resolution to this problem. Although the actual work is going to take much, much longer, we are now heading in the right direction. Therefore, I urge all 9 Council Members to vote YES on this resolution.
Councilman Friend has already done what Lloyd Winnecke can't and won't, and that's give a damn about our city. Even though we are dealing with a problem that has been brewing for many decades, Councilman Friend has been willing to boldly step forward and tackle this issue head-on. Wouldn't it be nice if we had this type of leadership in all our city offices? Wouldn't it be nice if we had city leadership that genuinely respected the will of the people, the history of the city of Evansville, as well as the commitment to getting Evansville turned around?
Today, we have found that in Mr. John Friend. I urge any and all who take pride in these cemeteries to stand behind Councilman Friend as we take off on a trail towards rebuilding this famous local landmarks.
On Monday, please support Resolution C-2012-16!
