EDITORIAL: City sends message that design counts
June 2, 2012
IBJ StaffIndianapolis' urban design guidelines are intended to create an environment that is appealing to those who live, work and
shop here. That, in turn, creates demand, providing an opportunity for future investment while protecting investments already
in place.

MoreEDITORIAL: Richard Lugar leaves a legacy
May 12, 2012

aisle to solve a problem was a strike against him.

MoreEDITORIAL: Pence has chance to lead, not hide behind money

MoreEDITORIAL: Indianapolis' new education deputy should work fast
March 24, 2012
IBJ StaffIf Eugene White leaves Indianapolis Public Schools—maybe not so coincidentally near Jason Kloth’s April 1 move
into the City-County Building—the city has an even better opportunity to signal it’s a place where reform-minded
educators can thrive.
MoreEDITORIAL: Airport executives' travel deserves scrutiny
March 17, 2012
The lavishness of the trips smacks of a culture of indulgence and raises questions about whether airport CEO John Clark III
is making the best use of his time.
MoreEDITORIAL: Online medical consults worth trying
March 10, 2012
IBJ StaffLike it or not—and most of the time we like it—technology has changed the world we live in.
MoreEDITORIAL: Senate smoking ban bad for business
March 3, 2012
IBJ StaffThe statewide smoking ban approved by the Indiana Senate Feb. 29 was riddled with exemptions, seeming to prove what many people
have already concluded: The majority of our lawmakers aren’t concerned with public health; they care far more about
the right of business owners to operate without government intrusion.
MoreEDITORIAL: Time to put TIFs in the spotlight
February 25, 2012
IBJ StaffTIF proponents argue that the new private-sector developments—from the JW Marriott downtown to the Dow AgroSciences

MoreEDITORIAL: BioCrossroads an example of vision at work

power of the federal government.

January 28, 2012
IBJ StaffWelcome to Indianapolis, home of Super Bowl XLVI, the greatest spectacle in football and the biggest party this city has ever
seen.
MoreEDITORIAL: Pass the proposed city smoking ban and be done with it
January 21, 2012
IBJ StaffA flawed but ultimately acceptable ordinance that would strengthen Indianapolis’ workplace smoking ban is now headed
to the City-County Council. The council should pass the ordinance and Mayor Ballard should sign it.
MoreEDITORIAL: Democrats' right-to-work wrangling pointless
January 14, 2012
IBJ StaffDemocratic lawmakers need to come to grips with this reality: The Republicans have the votes to pass right-to-work this session.
It’s going to happen. Stop whining about it and staging walkouts, and get on with the work you’re paid to do.

December 24, 2011

elected board that controls it now or the mayor of Indianapolis.
MoreEDITORIAL: It's time to jump on the transit train
December 17, 2011

vehicles.

If a television station wants to improve viewership, get rid of the local blackout. I was born by the brickyard, and have attended 15 or more races. I have children now, I won't attend unless circumstances are perfect. As those with growing families know, they never are. I'm always impressed that upwards of 250,000 people attend the 500. However, as a growing, or, more apt, sprawling city, Indianapolis and its immediate suburbs count almost 2.2 million. Show the race live, let the venue get a kick-back on revenues, and open-wheel racing might have a fighting chance to be relevant again. Just in time for those tax-payer lights to make sense.
John Moore, I too have had the same issue recently. A property next to my house was on the Land Bank and I was interested in purchasing. When I tried to contact Reggie, I got back emails that had nothing to do with what I asked about. Actually my latest response from him was on this past Friday. I had asked about how to buy the property and if it was still available. His response to me was to contact the mayor's office to get the schedule of his appearances. (???) Hopefully the city is able to do something to fix what this guy has done, it would be nice if they would take the properties back and sell them properly so land owners like me and you mother would have a fair chance.
I too work in the industry, with over 25 years of experience and your political spin has probably nothing to do with any rebranding. "Let's dress it up" would have nothing to do with the government "telling us how and what to eat." Give it a political rest. And being a producer for a radio show doesn't mean you've been involved in advertising and branding for 30 years.
Ms. Morris did not understand the ways of the business world, otherwise, like the IMS, she could have petitioned the State Legislature for a handout of State Funds for her charity work. Ms. Morris should consider becoming a state lobbyist for Lemonade Stand Operators.
