John GuyThe folks who control executive compensation are often executives themselves. Boards must realize that their self-dealing,

Morton MarcusHoosiers identify many factors contributing to our state's long-term economic difficulties. It is fashionable to blame our
workers. It is easy to decry a lack of natural amenities: no mountains, no coral reefs. Our public schools are inferior and
perhaps our higher education is overrated. Our taxes are too high but we have substandard government services. We ain't got
no culture. Rarely do we hear anyone say that our problem is management.

It matters because they're already paid enormously fat salaries: Pay for your own personal travel. Being "taxed on it" isn't a valid excuse--so what? They're still being gifted a raft of luxury perks from somebody else's money on top of an enormous, lavish salary.
Greenwood was scammed. Somebody didn't do due diligence in checking out the claims of this company. The manufacturing of insulin can't be done on the cheap. If it could be done, some big generic company would already have it on the market. The founder was either a scammer or a wild-eyed dreamer who made people believe that his Lilly experience was what they needed to make millions of dollars. Greenwood fell for a get-rich-quick scheme but smarter investors didn't make the same mistake.
DV, your list is not reasonable. For example, mass transit in Chicago does not benefit the poor Illinois farmer living on the Iowa border. So, there is no need for mass transit in Indy to benefit the retired widow living in Jasper, Indiana. Your comments, therefore, cannot be taken seriously yet it does reveal the narrow viewpoints that are robust here in Indiana. Mass transit works, even if not everyone in the city or state uses it.
