Letters to the Editor
Biologics misunderstood
March 30, 2013
In “Profits at center of biosimilars debate” [March 18], the author refers to attempted copies of biotech medicines
as “generic biotech medicines.” This demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of biosimilars.
MoreBill would help education
March 23, 2013
I write in support of Senate Bill 207, which reinstates in-state tuition rates to undocumented students who were enrolled
in a state college or university in 2011.
MoreDrug testing downside
March 16, 2013
Sheila Suess Kennedy hit the nail on the head with her [March 11] column on drug testing for welfare recipients.
MoreUlterior motive at WFYI?
March 16, 2013
If National Public Radio [March 4] really wanted to draw more people to the terrestrial radio station, and maybe WFYI’s
website, the billboard message would read, for example, “Poetry-writing mechanics listen to NPR on 90.1 FM, WFYI.
MoreService matches students with meaningful internships
March 16, 2013
Bruce Hetrick made a great point in his [March 11] column “Ten tips to help those seeking jobs or internships,”
about how much stronger a résumé becomes when an internship experience is featured front and center.
MoreTax break, rebate lauded
March 9, 2013
I have a message for Mr. Madison, Mr. Odle and Ms. Leighty [March 4 Forefront]: If you don’t want your rebate, return
it, but let me keep mine.
MoreTruth hasn't changed
March 9, 2013
Peter Rusthoven’s [Feb. 18 ] column “‘Relevance’ is irrelevant” could not have been more on
point. The world view, as seen through liberal media, is that not just the Roman Catholic Church but Christianity in general
needs to “become more relevant to an increasingly secular world.
MoreSequestration piece spot-on
March 9, 2013
While I don’t always agree with [Greg Morris], he was spot on with this [Feb. 25] column. Excellent job on this huge issue
for the future of our America.

MoreTake the federal money
March 9, 2013
There are good reasons to feel optimistic about the changes taking place as a result of health care reform. More people will
have access to insurance through health insurance marketplaces, and many will be able to take advantage of tax credits to
afford this new coverage.
MoreDon't subsidize Indianapolis Motor Speedway
March 2, 2013
I seriously question the advisability of our state, city or county providing monetary support to sports organizations, and
certainly Indianapolis Motor Speedway [Feb. 18].
MoreHempstead needs a grip
March 2, 2013
I surely hope Sarah Hempstead [Feb. 25] was joking when she suggested we ask anybody about Indianapolis—inferring, I
would guess, a blank stare.
MorePut citizens first
March 2, 2013
Are there not any really decent people to run for Congress [Maurer column, Feb. 18]? Too many of these candidates have the
ability to speak smoothly, show an engaging personality and make a good impression. The real essence of their character is
not revealed until they are caught taking advantage of their slick-lip shenanigans.
MoreMorris column hit home
March 2, 2013
I enjoyed Greg Morris’ [Feb. 25] column. However, I wish he had taken it one step further to explain the absurdity of
these so called “sequestration” cuts as they relate to baseline budgeting.
MoreMarijuana possession shouldn't be a crime
February 23, 2013
In response to Deborah Daniels’ [Feb. 4] column regarding legalization of marijuana, everyone can agree that we should
protect children from harm—there is no debate there.
MoreRadio's real problem
February 16, 2013
As a former radio personality (NPR and later WHAS-AM 840 in Louisville and other stations) and broadcast operations manager
and intern supervisor at the University of Louisville), I continue to shake my head at Emmis and boss Jeff Smulyan’s
total swivet with cell phone operators for refusing to put radio tuners on their phones or switch them on if they exist.
MoreBuses, yes, but no rail
February 9, 2013
I support fully the improvement of the bus system in the metro area [Morris column, Jan. 28]. It is a necessity and the responsibility
of government to provide access to those who need this service efficiently and cost effectively.
MoreDon't expand vouchers
February 9, 2013
I say no to expansion of Indiana’s school voucher program, already the most liberal in the nation when it comes to taking
public money and moving it to private—mostly religious—schools. I ask the Legislature, particularly the GOP super-majority,
to do more for the “system of common schools” they promised to support when they swore to uphold Indiana’s
Constitution.
MoreCursive is antiquated
February 9, 2013
In a political climate where jobs is the watchword of every campaign, I am confused and saddened by the state Senate Education
Committee’s 7-4 vote endorsing a bill that would mandate the teaching of cursive writing in elementary school.
MoreBen Davis university models possibilities
February 2, 2013
Thank you for the comprehensive [Jan. 14] story on the accomplishments of the students of Ben Davis University High School.
MoreRusthoven was bigoted
February 2, 2013
Far from credible criticism of “the liberal media double standard,” I interpreted Peter Rusthoven’s [Jan.
21] opinion piece “Double Standards on Israel” as an exercise in the expression of bias and bigotry.
MoreCut some freshman sports
February 2, 2013
I am in total agreement with Benner’s [Jan. 7] suggestion of making incoming college freshmen ineligible for varsity
sports.
MoreClark complicates gay marriage debate
January 26, 2013
Why does Micah Clark [Jan. 7 Viewpoint] blow the subject up into one of these all-inclusive ideological tornados?
MoreGun column hit mark
January 26, 2013
Thank you for Peter J. Rusthoven's column. What a well-written, well-thought-out editorial, with substantiating articles,
to better support the fact that enacting gun laws doesn't disarm the criminals.
MoreGuns laws work
January 26, 2013
I thought it would be impossible to write about gun laws after the Newtown tragedy and not talk about the bulbous magazine
clips that allow a sane or insane person to fire hundreds of rounds from an automatic weapon in seconds, but Peter Rusthoven
[Jan. 7] managed to do the impossible.
MoreRespect emotions in gun debate
January 19, 2013
Commentaries by Peter Rusthoven as well as others in Forefront [Jan. 7] do not treat two sides of fear.

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.
