MoreSOUDER: Pence, Long, Bosma swing differently at political curveballs
May 4, 2013
Mark Souder / Special to IBJEarly in the season in baseball, you can be leading the league in home runs because you can really hit a fastball, even if
you can’t hit a curveball. But in the major leagues, soon all you will see is curveballs. You either adjust or you are
gone.
MoreDANIELS: College grads must rise to the moment
May 4, 2013

and unprecedented trillions in transfer payments have not reversed the trend. It was well said that, "We need a recovery
from this recovery."

May 4, 2013

MoreLANOSGA: Why the media obsess over awards

MoreWESTERHAUS-RENFROW: More black men in college than in prison
May 4, 2013
Charlotte Westerhaus-Renfrow / Special to IBJMy children grew up in an autocratic household with non-negotiable expectations. “You will make your bed before you
go to school.” “You will respect your elders and teachers.” And the biggest mandate, “You will
go to college.”
MoreDOWD: Can we get Hillary without the foolery?
May 4, 2013

MoreWAGNER: The rise of a new Hoosier swing voter
March 30, 2013

March 30, 2013
Jake Bonifield / Special to IBJAs the first governor since the Civil War to win election with less than 50 percent of the vote, Mike Pence has a political

"And the success of the Indiana GOP to not allow an expansion of Medicaid had nothing to do with Indiana hospitals' financial woes? Fixed that for you; editorial bias rebalanced. Seriously, there are so many things wrong with Obamacare that the only way one can view it as a success is to assume that it was designed to fail our way into a government single payor healthcare system. The system is complex, creates huge regulatory burdens and overhead and yet still does not have adequate means to control escalating health care costs. But then when you elect a 10th grade math drop out with no quantitative reasoning skills to be President of one of the world's most important economies in troubled times, you can't really be surprised by blatant stupidity.
No NIMBYs here to chase off a decent development. We don't need tons of parking and we'd happily play the role of host to a downtown Whole Foods.
Whatever you do, don't change a single thing about Broad Ripple. I want it to look just like it did in the late '70s, with 30% of the north side of Broad Ripple Avenue burned out and plenty of places to park. That's right Broad Ripple, NEVER CHANGE. Let the world pass you by, don't improve your empty, abandoned lots full of weeds. Someday someone will want to film a zombie movie here.
Hollywood could step in and make a movie about the history about this forlorn series. It could be a full celebrity cast of characters. WOW. http://www.advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2013/02/indiana-taxpayers-forced-to-pay-for.html
This shouldn't come as a shock to many. Austin is a great city, and Indy needs to take some notes. Austin invests in decent transit options, has a highly educated workforce, embraces a creative class, and --despite being the state capital-- is not micromanaged by rural and suburban legislators. Want Indy to grow? Invest in the city (i.e. spend money). Raise taxes a bit, and use the money to improve education. And keep the state legislature out of Indy the other 9 months of the year.
