Letters to the Editor
Council faced unpleasant choice
August 29, 2009
[In the Aug. 17 editorial] IBJ accuses elected officials of making decisions based on partisanship rather than
good judgment. This superficial pronouncement of the reasons behind Proposal 285’s vote tally lacks thoughtful evaluation
of why councilors cast their votes the way they did at the August 10 council meeting.
MoreShredding paper beats burning it
August 29, 2009
After reading [Tim Altom’s Return on Technology column] in the Aug. 17 IBJ on whether shredding or burning
documents provided the greatest security, I felt compelled to send you a note.
MoreMarcus wrote sanely about 'insane' issue
August 29, 2009
It was good to read Morton Marcus’ [Aug. 17] reasoned and sane synopsis of a subject that has become a lightning
rod: health care “reform.”
MoreMaurer's commentary 'right on track'
August 24, 2009
Medical technology has taken us to
the point where we can sustain life almost indefinitely, but not maintain the quality of that life, nor the dignity of the
person.
MoreMaurer was right: Give people relief
August 24, 2009
It is time for competent Hoosiers suffering at the end of their lives to have access to all modern medicines
for humane relief.
MoreVote against 'cap and trade'
August 24, 2009
I urge Sen. Evan Bayh to vote against the “cap and trade” legislation pending in the Senate.
MoreToll road was good deal for state
August 17, 2009
I cannot help but agree with the author’s assessment:
the state of Indiana got a pretty good deal on the lease-sales agreement.
MoreIndiana is lucky to have toll lease
August 17, 2009
The facts are that toll increases are strictly limited
in the contract and cars using electronic tolling have had no increase and are still paying the $4.65 toll rate set in
1985, one of the lowest per-mile tolls in the nation.
MoreHigher-ed chief Lubbers is up to task
August 17, 2009
In her short tenure thus far as commissioner, she has already helped me personally with an issue I was experiencing as a law
student.
MoreSusan Bayh has major conflicts
August 10, 2009
Your editorial last week on Susan Bayh’s memberships on health care company boards was remarkably restrained. There
are SCREAMING conflicts.
MoreNeighbor input needed in revitalization efforts
August 10, 2009
Local Initiatives Support Corp. wanted to take a moment to second the ideas expressed last week
in AIA Indianapolis President Sanford Garner’s Viewpoint column. Garner expressed concern that current residents
benefit from revitalization and pointed out the importance of community dialogue as part of the process.
MoreOfficials should redevelop prison property
August 3, 2009
After outcry from the community, the plan to turn the current Women’s Prison on the near east side into a work release
facility for male prisoners was modified to make it barely palatable. However, there’s a larger point that shouldn’t
be overlooked.
MoreEnergy act will hurt Indiana's economy
August 3, 2009
A deeply concerning piece of legislation has just recently slipped through the [U.S.] House of Representatives. Although
the American Clean Energy and Security Act has an appealing name and is created to improve our environment, in actuality,
its passing through the Senate will cause dire problems for Hoosiers.
MoreIndianapolis Public Schools needs more than it gets
July 27, 2009
This year will be our 18th year as IPS parents. My husband and I are college graduates, upper-middle
class. He is employed full time and I’m self-employed part-time. We chose to stay in IPS
and try to make a difference for the many classmates that have no one rooting for them at home.
MoreBenner column provides hope
July 27, 2009
Thanks for writing such a wonderful column, full of hope and encouragement to those of us who could use
a little of that right now.
MoreFedEx must maintain flexibility
July 20, 2009
Like many businesses and local commerce, the FedEx Express hub at Indianapolis International Airport is trying to thrive
during a decline in shipping and an increase in fuel prices.
MoreIPS was winner in state budget
July 20, 2009
IBJ is completely off base to suggest that the new state budget was “balanced on the backs of poor children.”
As has been true of every state budget for the last two decades, students in Indianapolis Public Schools and other urban districts
are actually the biggest winners in this budget.
MoreArea cities have curb appeal
July 20, 2009
I agree with [Morton Marcus’ June 15 column] on urban entryways. I just wanted to point out that two of our
small towns in Indianapolis have done a good job of making entryways into their community attractive.
MoreStopping nukes should be priority
July 20, 2009
Uniting the Arab world toward accepting
Israel is very important, but stopping Iran from developing nuclear capability must be top priority for all our world.
MoreBrebeuf makes green strides
July 20, 2009
In 2007, Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory
School was named the first Green Flag School in Indiana as part of a national environmental awards program
that creates safer and healthier school environments through investigation, education, innovation and action.
MoreBowling centers limit smoking voluntarily
July 13, 2009
In 2006 the Indianapolis member centers of the Central Indiana Bowling Centers Association Inc. went
smoke-free voluntarily everywhere in their centers, except the bar.
MoreHealth reform stories should include private-practice docs
July 13, 2009
I read with interest IBJ’s [June 29 story] focusing on health care reform. I was not surprised by the exclusion
of opinions from “real” private-practice physicians.
MoreLiberal journalism strikes again
July 13, 2009
What a disappointing [July 6 column by Chris Katterjohn]. You, like your other liberal, left-wing journalist pals, just
cannot stand it when anyone disagrees with your point of view.
MoreWhy don't Bush bashers disgust you?
July 13, 2009
Bashing the president is a time-honored tradition in the United States going all the way back to George
Washington himself and honed to a fine point by the Jefferson/Adams exchanges.
MoreIndy Racing League must go international to survive
July 13, 2009
Like it or not, the Indy Racing League is becoming an international series, with American drivers like
Patrick, Andretti and Rahal and internationally known drivers such as Castroneves, Kanaan, Mutoh and
Meira.

Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.
Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.
I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.
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!
