MoreBOEHM: This conflict could have been avoided
March 2, 2013
After each decennial census, the law requires redrawing the City-County Council districts. A decade ago, after a Democratic

rejected the partisan maps proposed by the two parties and adopted a neutral map that established the districts through the
2011 election.

MoreBOEHM: Judicial elections need lawmaker action
December 1, 2012
Marion County’s trial judges are selected by a process used nowhere else in the state, and, as far as I know, nowhere

MoreBOEHM: Tread cautiously through this study
September 29, 2012
You may have seen recent news reports discussing a Ball State University study of how the total tax burden in this state varies

tax structure.
MoreBOEHM: Inside the 1987 Pan American Games
September 1, 2012
Pardon me for reminiscing on this 25th anniversary of the 1987 Pan American Games. Others have told how the Indianapolis “sports
strategy” helped regenerate downtown, grow IUPUI, and establish Indianapolis as a major league city and a convention
destination.
MoreBOEHM: Put justice facility back on the agenda
August 4, 2012
The mayor announced that the preferred site of a proposed transportation center will be the city-owned block of Washington
Street between the City-County Building and the jail.

MoreBOEHM: Criminal sentencing laws due for reform
September 10, 2011
We do have the benefit of thoughtful study, if not completely reliable data, to support some basic reform that will save the
state money and produce a fairer and more productive criminal justice system.
MoreBOEHM: New districts further polarize Legislature
August 6, 2011
New maps are as severely gerrymandered as their predecessors, and adherence to some stated goals of neutral districting does
not come close to achieving a fair plan.
MoreBOEHM: Mayor's touch is key to IPS improvement
July 9, 2011
We are at risk of ... bad outcomes from the way we choose the top leadership of our school systems.
MoreBOEHM: Cultural jewel deserves ongoing support
June 11, 2011
National and local awareness of Indy’s cultural riches adds real value to this community.
MoreBOEHM: Ignorance of civics undermines democracy
May 7, 2011
To identify and reject abuses of power, citizens need to understand the wisdom in the constitutional limits on the role of
each branch of government and the respective domains of federal and state governments.
MoreBOEHM: State employees hang in court balance
April 9, 2011
If the Supreme Court agrees with the 1984 opinion, the effect would presumably be to bar state employees from serving in the
Legislature, a holding of no small consequence.
MoreBOEHM: Put redistricting in hands of citizen group
March 12, 2011
Although there is no one right answer to the “best” map, a group of respected citizens charged with drawing fair
maps will take that obligation seriously.
MoreBOEHM: Put top officials in charge of lower offices
February 12, 2011
If we let the leaders of the executive branch of government select their team of professionals, we have a more coherent governmental
team. More important, we get accountability to an elected leader for performance that is inept or worse.

Who makes Tater Tots? They would be a good sponsor, because $3 Million for the alleged "Greatest Spectacle In Racing" is taters. Tiny, tiny taters. But at least they are making up something of the losses accumulated over the years in this dying sport. Buttock in seat is certainly not doing it, nor eyeball on TV, as evidenced by the lack of both.
We loved lakehouse and think the Arbor Village would be a great location. It is less than 2 miles from over 1000 rooftops in the 225,000 to over 1 million range. Many people could use the great fishers trail system to bike or walk there. Just an idea Scotty -- but maybe something closer to 3 Wiseman would good. The only microbrew in area is Ram (boring)
True, it's an ESPN production, but ESPN is just another name for ABC Sports, or what used to be ABC Sports since ABC Sports no longer exists as a name. ESPN=ABC Sports= ESPN. ESPN is, according to Forbes "the world's most valuable media property" worth $40 billion. Despite that, they fired 400 people this week.
The Prestige was a great flick.
Larry - even though the race is on ABC, ESPN does all of the work, so that is why ESPN is mentioned. Most sports on ABC are called something like "ESPN on ABC."
