I’m eagerly awaiting his plans for a winter sports complex, Ice Town.
You joke, but the previous mayor was promising he would build a water park next to the existing concert venue we have that attracts third-rate acts. Basically no one wanted a water park. No one wanted the casino he negotiated to be built either, but he got that one done.
The concert venue had Ted Nugent perform this summer, so I’m never giving them money anyway.
Here’s a deep cut for anyone from that area.
To be fair, there’s also a ski resort in Paoli, Indiana. That said, Paoli is much hillier than Terre Haute. I have no idea what “Mt. Wabash” is.
Mt Wabash is a joke from a recruiting poster.
Gotcha.
Texas had a 21 year old as mayor once. Gunbarrel City. Guy was removed six months later for fraud.
I live in Terre Haute. Sakbun is part of the corruption machine and the primary was rigged against Goodwin, who actually wants to change this city for the better. I’m glad Sakbun ousted Duke Bennett, the Republican mayor of Terre Haute that had been there for over a decade, but that’s about it. I do not have high hopes for his time as mayor. He’s basically run it on “I’m young and I have big ideas” but he really doesn’t have any plans on how to achieve them. He’s just another bullshit populist.
Also, the cops lined up behind him. What does that tell you?
As someone who has lived in Indiana for 31 years, if you actually talk to people without mentioning R or D, a large percentage of their values like up with Democrats. But as soon as you compare that to democratic policies, they immediately go into excuses for why they’d never vote for a Democrat. Abortion is really the only Republican policy that they support, and even then a lot of them still support it “but not the way the Democrats do, up to the moment before birth”.
The issue is that Democrats practically ignore us here so there’s no information campaigns to correct all the misinformation they get from Fox news and the like.
It’s really frustrating going back to my rural bumfuck town and seeing all the legitimately good people who have been brainwashed into Republican support by friends and neighbors.
