MUTZ: Arcane rules will haunt the new Congress
December 15, 2012
The priority for Congress as it convenes in a lame-duck session is to reach an agreement that averts a fiscal crisis. To accomplish
that goal, it may also be necessary to agree on major changes to three arcane procedures that govern the House and Senate.
MoreMUTZ: More campaign disclosure necessary
November 17, 2012
Who made a campaign contribution and for how much should be public information before the election. Two court rulings since
2010 and creation of several finance vehicles have complicated and confused the situation.
MoreMUTZ: Change won't come without realignment
October 13, 2012
With the political landscape littered with failed attempts to end impasse and frustrated citizens worried about the need for
change, many voters are saying they intend to vote for the man, not the party. Apparently they think this approach will get
results.
MoreMUTZ: Star can survive media market chaos
September 15, 2012
Once upon a time, three daily newspapers operated in Indianapolis. The Indianapolis Times, a Scripps-Howard paper,
was first to stop its presses, in 1965, a victim of competition and the advent of aggressive electronic news sources.
MoreMUTZ: Break up the school building monopoly
August 18, 2012
Indiana school corporations no longer have a monopoly on public school programming because the charter movement has given
families a choice. But charter schools do not have financial support from state or local government to build, remodel or lease
locations for their schools.
MoreMUTZ: Daniels' plans for Purdue will range wide
July 14, 2012
Predicting what Daniels will tackle is as risky as second-guessing a U.S. Supreme Court decision.
MoreMUTZ: Neither left nor right can ignore Murray book
May 19, 2012
“Coming Apart” is about the gradual slip of the American Dream from possibility to impossibility.
MoreMUTZ: Ballard needs Unigov wisdom for education

MoreMUTZ: Next up in education reform: governance
March 17, 2012
Unfortunately, our existing system of elected school boards is not getting the results our state and nation need.
MoreMUTZ: Health care budgets at risk of overload
February 18, 2012
Under these definitions, some of our most-honored citizens could be considered mentally ill.
MoreMUTZ: Referendums reveal faint political courage
January 21, 2012
The mass transit proposal now being supported by business and community groups is similar in complexity to Unigov.
MoreMUTZ: Faster—faster—on education attainment
December 24, 2011
We are behind the curve and becoming less competitive all the time.
MoreMUTZ: Is compromise actually a dirty word?
November 26, 2011
Whether we want to admit it or not, compromise is essential to our way of life.
MoreMUTZ: Several solid reasons to re-elect Ballard
October 22, 2011
There is no better example of courageous leadership in the past four years than Ballard's handling of the financial crisis
facing the Capital Improvement Board.
MoreMUTZ: Pressure's on to tackle immigration reform
September 24, 2011
Until some reasonable change in the legislation is made, we will continue to have a system that is unfair and impossible to
enforce.
MoreMUTZ: Burton should go out while he's on top
August 20, 2011
This is the ideal time to step down. He can become a senior statesman, enjoy an exceptional retirement package, and devote
his time to other kinds of public service.
MoreMUTZ: Hoping reform chic sinks into the culture
July 23, 2011
It was the biggest turnout for an education event I have ever seen in Indiana.
MoreMUTZ: Small communities aren't destined to decay
May 21, 2011
Although many planners and economists say some communities are a lost cause, local determination and leadership can make a
difference.
MoreMUTZ: Indiana should pioneer 'no adult left behind'
April 23, 2011
Indiana needs its own version of the G.I. Bill aimed at the undereducated. We should formulate a targeted program that is
designed so that no adult is left behind.
MoreMUTZ: Gale of opportunity blowing toward IPS
March 26, 2011
The New Orleans school system, which endured almost total devastation due to Hurricane Katrina, may give us a model to follow.
When given an opportunity for a fresh start, the city developed a combination of public and charter schools.
MoreMUTZ: Getting economic development right
February 26, 2011
As an IEDC board member and former lieutenant governor responsible for economic development in the 1980s, I believe IEDC is
one of the most successful economic development agencies in the nation.
MoreMUTZ: Improve our existing utility regulations
January 22, 2011
The actions by utility representatives, the regulatory commission chairman and one of his employees created the appearance
of impropriety.
MoreMUTZ: Reclaim education from the unions
December 25, 2010
No doubt about it. My vote for collective bargaining rights for teachers as a state senator in 1973 was a big mistake. Not
my only miscue in public life, but a whopper.

These higher rates Co. e about only because physicians are now hospital employees. otherwise physicians couldn't charge these rates and share the windfall with the hospital. Community/rural hospitals probably not buying physicians practices and thus weren't getting the windfall anyway.
The incentive for poor people to get themselves off public assistance and "no longer be poor" is even with help...they're STILL POOR! Being poor, even with some assistance, isn't all that pleasant. (I speak from experience) It's a stubborn myth that poor people, who are on public assistance, are sitting in the lap of luxury. You should try living on just those "freebies" that you mentioned and see how meager they actually are. By the way, I didn't mean you had to buy/own a puppy...just pet one. :)
As near as I can tell the minority has ZERO constitutional obligation to offer a quorum to the majority. A requirement for quorum was inserted into the constitution so that tyrannical majorities could not simply shove through odious and objectionable legislation (which is exactly what they did.) By allowing a tyrannical majority to charge fines against the minority for exercising their constitutional prerogative to deny quorum the court as made a mockery of constitutional governance in the state of Indiana.
The voters elected the Reps to make a vote not walk out on the vote. They had to the right to exercise their opinion and vote "no" to the bill. Let me ask you this if you walked out of your job for 5 straight weeks would you get paid? Would you even have a job to go back to? If any elected official walks out on the people they should be arrested for stealing tax dollars from the public. They were elected to do a job and not leave when the job gets stuff.
I have been to several of their locations in Pennsylvania and always go in for 1 item and leave with a basket full of things. I'm very happy they decided on Indiana, now if only they would put the other store in eastside.
