Forefront
EARLY: Sweeping up after a mixed election
December 1, 2012
Rex Early / Special to IBJAre you tired of hearing about politics and the election? Then shake hands with a brother Elk, because I, too, am glad it’s
over.
MoreBOHANON: Well, how 'bout them Libertarians!
December 1, 2012
Cecil Bohanon / Special to IBJAfter an election, it is just good manners to congratulate the winners and offer condolences to the losers. We wish the winners
well and hope they succeed in the tough business of crafting and implementing good public policy. We thank those who did not
win for giving their time and energy offering an alternative.
MoreVAUGHN: Super PACs still threaten democracy
December 1, 2012
Julia Vaughn / Special to IBJForget red states versus blue states. The color best representative of the 2012 election is green, as in greenbacks. The election
was not only the most expensive in our nation’s history at $6 billion spent, but it also shattered the record by more
than $700 million. More than 1,000 Super PACs were formed and they spent at least $970 million, much of it on negative television
ads and direct mail.
MoreODLE: Stop letting our young athletes die
December 1, 2012
Samuel L. Odle / Special to IBJA number of high-profile deaths over the past 15 years have increased awareness of sudden cardiac death in the national sports
community and public at large, but also here on home turf.
MoreBONIFIELD: Blowout holds lessons for Democrats
November 17, 2012
Jake Bonifield / Special to IBJAs the dust settles on the 2012 elections, new oaths of office will be accompanied by post-mortems by partisans on both sides
of the aisle.
MoreFARGO: Ads breed cynicism in young people
November 17, 2012
Anthony L. Fargo / Special to IBJThe election is over, but there are still some unanswered questions as we clean up the toxic debris from the campaigns and
get back to focusing on other things.
MoreWAGNER: Political ads filtered by a 4-year-old
November 17, 2012
Jennifer Wagner / Special to IBJWe don’t watch a lot of television in our house, but when it’s on, it’s almost always tuned to a news station
or show.
MoreLANANE: Target small business, Main Street, training, health care
November 17, 2012
Tim Lanane / Special to IBJOur state is in a challenging time, with unemployment hovering above 8 percent and many Hoosiers hopeful that better days
are on the horizon. The Indiana Senate Democrats’ 2013 legislative proposals and budget priorities will reflect the
principles of rebuilding our economy, schools and local communities.
MoreLONG: Budget, education, criminal sentencing top agenda
November 17, 2012
David Long / Special to IBJAs the smoke clears from the election season, Hoosiers have turned their attention back to the Statehouse. The newly elected
members of the General Assembly have a long to-do list. Passing a balanced budget, examining education reforms and updating
our criminal sentencing structure are just a few.
MoreMUTZ: More campaign disclosure necessary
November 17, 2012
John Mutz / Special to IBJWho made a campaign contribution and for how much should be public information before the election. Two court rulings since
2010 and creation of several finance vehicles have complicated and confused the situation.
MoreBECK: Republicans received no mandates
November 17, 2012
Lara Beck / Special to IBJA super-majority doesn’t necessarily mean good government.
MoreVANE: All in all, state Republicans won big
November 17, 2012
Robert Vane / Special to IBJI simply can’t imagine that there’s been a more interesting era of politics in the Hoosier State than the one
in which we are living.
MoreSWAYZE: Turbo government here for business
November 17, 2012
Sue Swayze / Special to IBJNow that Indiana is right-to-work, voters have given Gov.-elect Mike Pence a legislative escort through his Roadmap for Indiana.
Super-majorities in the House and Senate will help him build on Gov. Daniels’ success to make Indiana a state that works.
MoreKRULL: Voters spoke, but is the GOP listening?
November 17, 2012
John Krull / Special to IBJOh, what strange things partisanship and ideology can be. The day after the votes had been counted in the 2012 election, Republican
leaders new and old in state government declared that nothing—not even a pesky upset—was going to stop them from
implementing their education agenda.
MoreHOWEY: Mourdock camp ran a bad campaign
November 17, 2012
Brian A. Howey / Special to IBJA couple of days after Richard Mourdock upset U.S. Sen. Dick Lugar in the May primary, Howard County Republican Chairman Craig
Dunn called me. Would I be open to a “clear the air” meeting with Mourdock?
MoreMAHERN: Now that you've been elected a legislator...
November 17, 2012
Louis Mahern / Special to IBJSo, you have been elected to the Legislature. Robert Redford once starred in a movie called “The Candidate.” At
the end of the film and after an improbable win for the U.S. Senate, the Redford character asks his consultant, “What
do we do now?"
MoreRIVERA: Hoosiers' common-sense triumphs
November 17, 2012
Angel RiveraMy generation of Hoosiers has elevated expectations for government. It must be environmentally friendly, embrace technology,
help our neediest, treat everyone equally, and manage finances responsibly.
MoreSTYRING: A Thanksgiving lesson in communism
November 17, 2012
Bill Styring / Special to IBJThe Pilgrims were small “c” communists. Lands were farmed in common and everything went into a common storehouse
from which everyone drew sustenance.
MoreTAFT: Resurrecting Indy's urban housing market
November 17, 2012
Bill Taft / Special to IBJThe recession affected some older Indianapolis neighborhoods differently than it did the larger metro area housing market,
with areas of Marion County taking particularly hard hits.
MoreMYERS: Indiana a leader in breast cancer fight
November 17, 2012
Woodrow Myers / Special to IBJBreast cancer is not one disease; it is many diseases. And although it is not limited to women, women over the age of 50 are
at the highest risk.
MoreTREACY: County is trending Democratic for three big reasons
November 3, 2012
Ed Treacy / Special to IBJI’m going to surprise you. I’m not going to tell you Marion County is absolutely a Democratic county. It is more
complex than yes or no.
MoreWALKER: Republicans keep winning with common sense values
November 3, 2012
Kyle Walker / Special to IBJAs with Mark Twain, the report of the death of the Marion County Republican Party was an exaggeration. Don’t believe
me? Check the 25th floor of the City-County Building.
MoreBOEHM: Good reasons not to toss out judges
November 3, 2012
Ted Boehm / Special to IBJThe ballot this year will ask you whether two judges of the Indiana Supreme Court and four on the Court of Appeals will be
retained in office. Don’t forget to vote yes on all six retention questions.
MoreVAUGHN: Election bullies threaten right to vote
November 3, 2012
Julia Vaughn / Special to IBJWith Indiana ranked a dismal 48th for voter turnout, you would think Republicans and Democrats could agree that our state
needs to take aggressive steps to increase the number of active voters.
MoreODLE: The fight to get out the vote is ongoing
November 3, 2012
Samuel L. Odle / Special to IBJAmericans seem to be full of contradictions. Perhaps that is why we are so admired, and yet so hated, by the rest of the world.

The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.
I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
Coming from her background,she should be used to those kinds of advances! Menard probably figured it was ok to tuck a buck!
I'm still waiting for the list of available, high quality apartments in the Village.
This criminal masquerading as a lawyer obviously has serious issues. He’s been proven by his own testimony to be a pathological liar and probably has a personality disorder as he seems to be constructing a reality around himself. He places no value on truth, honesty or loyalty as evidenced by what he has done to his clients and his own family. And by the demands and lies he has made in court, it is evident he feels entitled to do and say whatever suits his purpose and everyone else is expected to nod obediently and believe him because he is, after all, Bill Super Lawyer; or BS lawyer for short. This millionaire wanna-be no longer owns anything of value; he squandered it and put everything he had into foreclosure. He has no money, house, car, boat or vacation home left to show for what he earned or what he stole. He’s just another loser without morals who will be doing time. I’m certain all of his courtroom shenanigans are antagonizing his poor victims. As Lamar said, his behavior and claims in court have been outrageous. The judge needs to be more than concerned; he needs to be judicial and end this nonsense.
