EDITORIAL: Fishers, Noblesville make the right call
June 15, 2013
IBJ StaffWe’ve heard the lament for years: Center Township is home to Indianapolis’ greatest concentration of institutions
that pay no property taxes.
MoreEDITORIAL: ExactTarget deal will send tech ripple
June 8, 2013
A toast is in order: The $2.5 billion sale of ExactTarget Inc. to San Francisco-based Salesforce.com is the most lucrative
exit yet for an Indianapolis technology company.
MoreEDITORIAL: Learn right lessons from scandal
June 1, 2013
Predictably, just days after U.S. Attorney Joe Hogsett’s May 21 announcement that five people had been indicted in an
alleged kickback scheme involving Indy Land Bank, the General Assembly announced it would make land-bank regulation the topic
of a summer study committee.
MoreEDITORIAL: Open the Market Square Arena process
May 25, 2013
IBJ StaffMayor Greg Ballard should reverse his decision to keep the redevelopment proposals for the former Market Square Arena site
under wraps.
MoreEDITORIAL: CEOs should buy their own perks
May 18, 2013
It’s no secret that CEOs of public companies make a lot of money.<br><br>And in general, they earn it: It
takes talent, hard work and vision to oversee thousands of employees, answer to impatient shareholders, guard against competitive
threats, and keep the trains running on time, particularly at behemoths like Eli Lilly and Co., WellPoint Inc., Cummins Inc.
and Simon Property Group Inc.
MoreEDITORIAL: Where next for mass transit in Indianapolis?
May 11, 2013
IBJ StaffFrustration on the part of mass transit proponents was palpable last month when the Indiana Senate shunted the matter to a
summer study committee after the House had approved a bill with strong bipartisan support.
MoreEDITORIAL: A 7.5-mile bold stroke
May 4, 2013
Indianapolis is a master of not making waves. Chalk it up to being the capital of a notoriously risk-averse state.
MoreEDITORIAL: Cricket flap exposes flaw
April 27, 2013
Mayor Greg Ballard’s fascination with the cultures of other countries is one of his endearing qualities.
MoreEDITORIAL: Symphony edict is tone-deaf
April 20, 2013
Krzysztof Urbanski is undoubtedly touched by genius. The 30-year-old music director of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra
conducts with a sensitivity to rhythm and expression that imbues works like Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring”
with startling vitality and chest-thumping soul.
MoreEDITORIAL: Senators feed state’s road habit
April 13, 2013
The way legislators are treating transportation issues this year speaks volumes about their aspirations for the state.
MoreEDITORIAL: IEDC secrecy draws needed light
March 30, 2013
IBJ StaffCurrent and past leaders of the Indiana Economic Development Corp. should note that their lack of transparency on jobs has
created a small miracle: virtual unity in the General Assembly.
MoreEDITORIAL: Lilly’s strategy wooed investors
March 23, 2013
Eli Lilly and Co. shares have more than doubled over the past four years, an impressive run-up that has as much to do with
the company’s well-crafted investor-relations message as it does scientific innovation.
MoreEDITORIAL: Save the archives
March 16, 2013
State lawmakers are understandably preoccupied with big issues like jobs and education, but before the session ends, they
should attack another problem that has nearly been forgotten.
MoreEDITORIAL: City-County Council doesn’t need fixing
March 9, 2013
As the second half of the legislative session begins to heat up, one of the bills still in play deserves calling out for its
blatantly political intent.
MoreEDITORIAL: Good choice for United Way
March 2, 2013
IBJ StaffWhen the longtime CEO of United Way of Central Indiana last year announced her plans to retire, the not-for-profit’s
board embarked on a search for a seasoned executive with deep community ties. They found both in Ann D. Murtlow.
MoreEDITORIAL: Little pleasure in Marsh pain
February 23, 2013
IBJ StaffThe $2.2 million judgment against Don Marsh for using Marsh Supermarkets, the grocery chain he led for more than 30 years,
as a piggy bank to pay for lavish trips and extramarital affairs caps what will surely be a mixed legacy for the once-powerful
businessman.
MoreEDITORIAL: Give Indianapolis Motor Speedway the tax break
February 16, 2013
Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s request for a special taxing district to help update the storied venue is such a slam
dunk that it barely merits an editorial.
MoreEDITORIAL: ISO gets lift, needs leader
February 9, 2013
Thanks to the generosity of donors, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra has cleared one major hurdle on its path to financial
stability. But the biggest challenges lie ahead.
MoreEDITORIAL: Legislature isn't in protection game
February 2, 2013
Try as we might, we just don't get it. Oh, we understand why liquor store owners don't want Indiana lawmakers to lift
long-standing restrictions on Sunday alcohol sales. There's little doubt the state's ban on most carryout sales helps
them manage costs and stave off competition from big-box retailers. They admit as much (among other rationale).
MoreEDITORIAL: If it's a priority, fund accordingly
January 26, 2013
IBJ StaffGov. Mike Pence insists Indiana can cut taxes, maintain its strong financial position, and fund its priorities, and that the
tax cut will stimulate spending and put businesses in a position to add jobs. Whether that’s realistic depends to a
great extent on how the state’s priorities are defined and how much should be spent on them.
MoreEDITORIAL: IPS chief leaves mixed legacy
January 19, 2013
IBJ StaffEugene White is a towering man with an outsized personality to match. When he took the helm of the troubled Indianapolis Public
Schools seven years ago, he seemed to have the confidence and determination to steamroll through the changes the district
badly needed.
MoreEDITORIAL: City government's good vibrations
January 12, 2013
IBJ StaffThe Indianapolis budget accord announced Jan. 7 by Mayor Greg Ballard and City-County Council leaders is worth at least some
polite applause.
MoreDaniels did his job
January 5, 2013
IBJ StaffTo put in perspective the flurry of activity that has been the eight years of the Daniels administration, one must think back
to the state he inherited following a succession of solid, but caretaker, governors.
MoreEDITORIAL: Time for Pence to ditch tax cut
December 29, 2012
Incoming Indiana Gov. Mike Pence may have spent a decade as a U.S. representative. But he is a neophyte when it comes to managing
the state budget—unlike legislative warhorses such as Speaker of the House Brian Bosma and Sens. David Long and Luke
Kenley.

Ameriana Bank took over Westfield Farmers Market for 2013 and it is held in their parking lot, corner of 32 and Carey road, 5 to 8. I am selling soap and candles there. great market!
B&T certainly has enough of our taxpayer dollars to do this thanks to Mayor Ballard. Given the firm's exceedingly poor reputation in the legal community, the basement would seem a better option.
Should read MAY hire 20 people.
Not a good location for a 300,000 home. 10th Street fumes, buses, noise. Max for this location 150,000.
The state constitution also does not say that the majority has a right to quorum, nor that the minority is required to allow them quorum. In fact, denial of quorum has been a parliamentary maneuver since the establishment of the first parliaments in the early 1600s. The right to deny quorum (and the requirement fore quorum) are to prevent exactly what happened in Indiana: A tyrannical majority pushing through odious, objectionable legislation. Denial of quorum is totally legitimate, and lest we forget, a tactic the GOP has employed many, many times to ensure their issues weren't given short shrift. By allowing the majority to impose "fines" on the minority for exercising the authority the constitution grants them (to deny quorum,) they are violating the constitution.
