Letters to the Editor
IURC misunderstood
January 28, 2012
It was with disappointment that I read Julia Vaughn’s column in the Jan. 9 Forefront.
MoreBlame Penn State administrators
January 28, 2012
I take exception to Benner [Jan. 16 column] adding Pennsylvania State University in with the other schools that had football
scandals.
MoreHetrick created his own problem
January 28, 2012
I read with amazement Bruce Hetrick’s [Jan. 23] recent column about health care reform and an issue he had with Anthem
Blue Cross Blue Shield.
More'Right-to-work' is a charade
January 21, 2012
As an attorney who has practiced labor and employment law for 37 years, I’m concerned by the widespread confusion about
the so-called “right-to-work“ bill being promoted by Gov. Daniels.
MoreNot chump change
January 21, 2012
Talking heads and politicians are notoriously bad at math. Morton Marcus [Jan. 9 Forefront] acts as if paying higher wages
equates to something like 30 cents per diner. I think this is disingenuous.
MoreChurlish behavior isn't acceptable
January 21, 2012
John Krull is not an old fogey. His viewpoints [Dec. 26 Forefront] are what America was made of before all the too-open-minded
people, the too-liberal thinkers and the too-greedy people came to the forefront.
MoreHow to mix Manning, Luck
January 14, 2012
It’s sad to see the Polian era end. He brought football greatness to Indianapolis.
MoreGainsay art if taxes paid for it
January 14, 2012
Louis Mahern [Dec. 26 Forefront] cites an incident which was incredibly offensive to millions of Americans—a photo of
a crucifix submerged in a jar of urine—then moves easily on to say, “If an artist says it is art who are we to
gainsay it?”
MoreTechnology already helping commuters
January 7, 2012
Richard Sullivan’s letter to the editor [Jan. 2] makes some great observations about how few people take full advantage
of Indianapolis’ existing transit resources.
MoreMarkets can rein in health care costs
January 7, 2012
Congratulations to Rob Hillman, Anthem and UnitedHealthcare [Nov. 26] for allowing patients and health care consumers to shop
for lower-cost providers within their networks.
MoreUnleash biz on transit
December 31, 2011
So the big new mass transit plan has come out, and its main solution is … buses on roads. Government-owned buses, of
course.
MoreDon't snuff out rights
December 31, 2011
Smoking and secondhand smoke put people at risk. But I just don’t understand the mentality of people who are trying
to force their views on this topic.
MoreMourdock budget fails honesty test
December 24, 2011
On a careful review of Indiana State Treasurer Richard Mourdock’s federal budget plan released Nov. 15, it’s obvious
that Gov. Mitch Daniels, who knows something about federal budgeting, is in charge of the budget, not the state treasurer.
MoreRedistricting push is unnecessary
December 24, 2011
In “The Guns of August,” Barbara Tuchman wrote, “War is the unfolding of miscalculations.”
MoreWhere are the jobs from the stimulus?
December 24, 2011
According to Sheila Suess Kennedy’s [Dec. 19] column, doubling down on the $1 trillion stimulus package from 2009 will
result in a panacea of new jobs (23,000) per $1 billion.
MoreState manages risk
December 17, 2011
Ken Skarbeck’s column [Nov. 19] addressed a new strategy the Indiana Public Retirement System is using to diversify
its portfolio. T
MoreSmoking is antiquated
December 17, 2011
Keep up the writing on smoking [Nov. 28], and mention the contiguous counties, as well.
MoreChildren's Choir made memories
December 10, 2011
Greg Morris’ [Dec. 5 column ] about the Indianapolis Children’s Choir relates many of its extraordinary accomplishments
during the last 25 years, but its performances during the 7th FINA World Swimming Championships in Conseco Fieldhouse in 2004
need special attention.
MoreInsurers losing fight with hospitals
December 10, 2011
While I certainly support increases in transparency of cost and quality, I wonder why insurance companies need to resort to
gimmicks [“Insurers Push Comparison Shopping,” Nov. 28].
MorePatent reform helps small firms
December 3, 2011
Kristin Jones’ Nov. 26 column, “Patent reform is mixed bag for life sciences,” offered views on the impact
of the new patent law, the America Invents Act, on large and small life sciences companies in Indiana.
MoreSmoking column hit the target
December 3, 2011
Thanks so much for Mickey Maurer’s Nov. 28 “Mayor, Read the Smoke Signals” column. I still cannot believe
that Indianapolis and indeed, the entire state can be so backward related to creating a smoke-free environment.
MoreUp adjunct pay, Mr. McRobbie
December 3, 2011
An open letter to Indiana University President Michael McRobbie:
MoreRight-to-work view was appalling
December 3, 2011
It is stunning to read the editorial position [Nov. 28] of the foremost business journal in Indiana that cautions against
“right-to-work” legislation. Perhaps the writer forgets that Indiana has a 9-percent unemployment rate.
MoreKennedy missed mark
December 3, 2011
Sheila Kennedy is off the mark twice in her [Nov. 21] column.
MoreVaughn column was misleading
November 26, 2011
Julia Vaughn, a self-described advocate for “open and honest” government was neither open nor honest in her Nov.
14 Forefront column, “Shine More Light on Duke/IURC Secrets.”

Many serial killer types and psychopaths work as lowly bureaucrats, just waiting to impose their wrath on a powerless person, child, or pet. Don't forget, the BTK killer was a dog catcher.
If a television station wants to improve viewership, get rid of the local blackout. I was born by the brickyard, and have attended 15 or more races. I have children now, I won't attend unless circumstances are perfect. As those with growing families know, they never are. I'm always impressed that upwards of 250,000 people attend the 500. However, as a growing, or, more apt, sprawling city, Indianapolis and its immediate suburbs count almost 2.2 million. Show the race live, let the venue get a kick-back on revenues, and open-wheel racing might have a fighting chance to be relevant again. Just in time for those tax-payer lights to make sense.
John Moore, I too have had the same issue recently. A property next to my house was on the Land Bank and I was interested in purchasing. When I tried to contact Reggie, I got back emails that had nothing to do with what I asked about. Actually my latest response from him was on this past Friday. I had asked about how to buy the property and if it was still available. His response to me was to contact the mayor's office to get the schedule of his appearances. (???) Hopefully the city is able to do something to fix what this guy has done, it would be nice if they would take the properties back and sell them properly so land owners like me and you mother would have a fair chance.
I too work in the industry, with over 25 years of experience and your political spin has probably nothing to do with any rebranding. "Let's dress it up" would have nothing to do with the government "telling us how and what to eat." Give it a political rest. And being a producer for a radio show doesn't mean you've been involved in advertising and branding for 30 years.
Ms. Morris did not understand the ways of the business world, otherwise, like the IMS, she could have petitioned the State Legislature for a handout of State Funds for her charity work. Ms. Morris should consider becoming a state lobbyist for Lemonade Stand Operators.
