Forefront
MYERS: A boardwalk view of medicinal marijuana
April 23, 2011
Woodrow Myers / Special to IBJCarnival barkers hustle you into the “doctor’s office,” where virtually any diagnosis leads to a “prescription”
for the FDA-unapproved “Sour Diesel.”
MoreCARTER: Leadership traits will define whether Indiana succeeds
April 23, 2011
Steve Carter / Special to IBJOur state will best address our future needs by fostering engagement, confidence with optimism, and accountability.
MoreGREGG: Politicians have lost sight of voter demands for job creation
April 23, 2011
John R. Gregg / Special to IBJHoosiers have had enough of the bickering and back-room deals on Capitol Hill and Capitol Avenue, and bickering has never
created a single job.
MoreHOWEY: Let's count who might run for Congress
April 23, 2011
Brian A. Howey / Special to IBJThe most interesting will come in the new 6th congressional district that just about everyone expects to be vacated by U.S.
Rep. Mike Pence for a 2012 gubernatorial run.
MoreKRULL: The weird election for Indianapolis mayor
April 23, 2011
John Krull / Special to IBJIndianapolis now has a mayor who fades into the background. He is the mayor we still do not know.
MoreMAHERN: Finger the elephant, mayoral candidates
April 23, 2011
Louis Mahern / Special to IBJTalking about education in a mayor’s race will only upset the adults who are the system’s primary beneficiaries—administrators
and teachers.
MoreWAGNER: Pointers for those moments in the trenches
April 23, 2011
Jennifer Wagner / Special to IBJIf you’re extremely lucky, your political adversary will have hired young, inexperienced staffers who telegraph their
boss’s next moves on Twitter and Facebook.
MoreLADWIG: The last thing newspapers need is a subsidy
April 23, 2011
Craig Ladwig / Special to IBJYou should know that publishers of the smaller community newspapers, specialty papers and media systems throughout the nation
were outperforming the big shots until the recession, their closeness to their readerships saving them from the hubris of
advocacy.
MoreFARGO: In defense of controversial e-mail requests
April 23, 2011
Anthony L. Fargo / Special to IBJAre they politically motivated? Probably. Do they have the potential to intimidate professors and institutions? Yes. Are they
illegal or unethical? No.
MoreBONIFIELD: Lee Hamilton, free of bumper stickers
April 23, 2011
Jake Bonifield / Special to IBJThe realization was startling. How could someone with such a high profile—a major political figure by any standard—be
so nonchalant in weaving across the center line?
MoreVAUGHN: No excuse for keeping tainted Durham funds
April 9, 2011
Julia Vaughn / Special to IBJContinuing to use the excuse that the money is already spent amounts to a slap in the face of the Ohio victims of Durham’s
illegal scheme, many who lost their life savings.
MoreKETZENBERGER: Drafting Daniels for corporate Indiana
April 9, 2011
John Ketzenberger / Special to IBJIf his first run for governor is any indication, he’d make a heckuva presidential candidate. I hope he doesn’t.
MoreBOEHM: State employees hang in court balance
April 9, 2011
Ted Boehm / Special to IBJIf 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.
MoreHARRIS: Education reform would elevate, not denigrate, teachers
April 9, 2011
David Harris / Special to IBJWhat is especially troubling about this tactic is that it denies us a chance to debate these critical issues. The policies
being proposed in Indiana to evaluate and reward teachers would benefit from a robust debate.
MoreMEREDITH: Bashing dedicated teachers is no way to reform education
April 9, 2011
Teresa Meredith / Special to IBJTeachers simply cannot be made the scapegoats in the education reform debate. This merely distracts from the real issues at
hand.
MoreRIVERA: Martindale-Brightwood revamp can set strong example
April 9, 2011
Angel RiveraA walk through the streets there showed a pattern of crumbling infrastructure, missing chunks of sidewalks, and boarded-up
homes. When I asked a city official for the number of abandoned houses in this neighborhood, he answered, “between 300
and 450."
MoreSANDERS: Create a sense of community across broader Indianapolis
April 9, 2011
Joanne Sanders / Special to IBJThe dictionary defines “neighborhood” as “a district where people live.” That certainly defines Indianapolis
…

March 26, 2011
Greg Ballard / Special to IBJAtlanta turned the contaminated site of a former steel mill into an urban jewel called Atlantic Station.
MoreCARSON: Houston's mass transit system is helping solve problems

MoreGIBSON: A bus system like Charlotte's would offer many benefits
March 26, 2011

of $55 million with only 150 buses and 29 routes.
MoreKENNEDY: Seattle is benefiting from comprehensive youth program
March 26, 2011
Melina Kennedy / Special to IBJMoreRUSTHOVEN: Urbana is actually about school choice
March 26, 2011
Peter J. Rusthoven / Special to IBJThe Indiana State Teachers Association opposes vouchers with every fiber of its being. So does the Democratic legislative
caucus, supported by ISTA (and ISTA dues money).
MoreMAHERN: What's the problem with school vouchers, really?
March 26, 2011
Louis Mahern / Special to IBJWhy not take the tax money we would have spent sending children to a failing system and give their parents the opportunity
to send them to the private school of their choice? After all, that’s what we do when it comes to higher ed.
MoreMUTZ: Gale of opportunity blowing toward IPS
March 26, 2011
John Mutz / Special to IBJThe New Orleans school system, which endured almost total devastation due to Hurricane Katrina, may give us a model to follow.

MoreKENNEDY: About those intended and unintended consequences ...
March 26, 2011

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.
