Judges, nurses, educators: Here are more of the highest-paid Vanderburgh County employees
EVANSVILLE – Every Vanderburgh County judge who worked a full year in 2023 made the same compensation, down to the cent. Except for Les Shively.

Civil war in Vanderburgh GOP ignites with chairman's move against critics
EVANSVILLE — Civil war is the road chosen by the already fractured Vanderburgh County Republican Party, whose leader served papers Thursday seeking to censure and remove intraparty critics from elected positions.

Indiana City Makes Orkin’s List of Cities with the Most Mosquitoes
It's mosquito season, and Orkin just released its annual list of the cities with the most mosquitoes. As it turns out, only one city in Indiana made the list. Any guesses?. I don't know about you, but I always have a BAD mosquito problem in my yard. I can't even walk outside for two minutes without having to swat those pests away. It's a nuisance that nobody wants to deal with. Maybe you have tried citronella candles while sitting on your patio. That helps for sure. Perhaps you have lemongrass or peppermint plants in your yard to help keep the mosquitoes away. Somehow it seems that they are all only so effective. The sad thing is that I live in Boonville, Indiana, and while we have a lot of mosquitoes in our area, there's one Indiana city that I am grateful that I don't live in one Indiana city in particular, because they have a much worse mosquito problem.

Why is Part of Indiana’s Washington Square Mall Covered By a Black Tarp?
There have been rumblings of some construction inside Washington Square Mall, so I decided to investigate and get some answers. Washington Square Mall is Part of Indiana's History.
