- 03/10/10 - Mayor Weinzapfel touts success, vision for merger (Courier & Press)Evansville Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel rhapsodized in his State of the City speech Tuesday about Evansville's planned Downtown arena and trumpeted government cost-cutting and economic development victories.

Trent Van Haaften will close out his seven-year Indiana General Assembly career when the current legislative session wraps up this week.
