Below are seven pages written by Mayor Hank Roberts himself in 1959 when he was running for office once more after having served a previous term lasting from 1952-1955. In these seven pages, you will find Roberts' qualifications, accomplishments, and platform for why he should have been re-elected in the fall of 1959.
As you read through the pages, ask yourself this question: Would you vote for Hank if he ran for mayor in 2015? The reason I ask that you ask yourself that question is because I want you the citizens and residents of Evansville to see just how far we have fallen from the days of Benjamin Bosse and Hank Roberts.
Since Roberts left office, we have yet to see anyone bring the amount of talent he possessed to the mayor's office. Roberts embodied the soul of the city of Evansville by being involved in many organizations while having the guts to take on many bold projects. There is one reason why we have not seen a mayor replicate the success of Hank Roberts, and that is because he has been the last mayor who stood for something.
With all of that being said, I present to you Hank Roberts: In His Own Words...
