Truth 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.
MoreAnother side of the income debate
January 19, 2013
I read [in the Dec. 31 IBJ], with great dismay, that a millionaire lawyer is not able to charge his clients as much
as an attorney in another state.
MoreIn favor of shrinking not-for-profit boards
January 12, 2013
As a frequent consultant to not-for-profit boards, I couldn’t agree more [Dec. 24 Libman Viewpoint].
MoreBenner was 'uplifting'
January 12, 2013
Thanks so very much for pointing out the many triumphs and great moments Indianapolis and Indiana had in 2012 [Dec. 31 Benner
column].
MoreChange before it's broken
January 12, 2013
The dying service clubs mentioned in John Guy’s [Dec. 31 column] “How to revive dying service clubs” could
benefit from following the lead of Toastmasters International which, even though it was growing, evaluated where it was and
how it could best serve its membership.
MoreCoal plant good for jobs
January 5, 2013
I commend Lincolnland Economic Development Corp. for finding the perfect fit in a company for our state. The coal gasification
plant planned to be built in Rockport will really help our state.
MoreGasification plant is wise investment
January 5, 2013
Lincolnland Economic Development Corp. is recruiting the $2.8 billion Indiana Gasification LLC clean energy project. The plant
represents hundreds of permanent, high-paying jobs in newer, cleaner advanced industrial technologies.

Can IBJ please stop referring to this property as "Kessler Mansion"? What a ridiculous title for the biggest, bloated, blight in our city. It's not a mansion. At best, it's an ideal site to shoot low-budget porn. Ahhh! Another business use!
Its stories like these that prove that a Ball State diploma is worth less than the paper that its printed on. A real institution of higher learning would have taken care of this long ago. No way should this crap be taught in a SCIENCE class.
It is such a shame that King Ballard has made Indianapolis into Chicago south with all of the rampant corruption.
How many of these 1,259 bills were actually heard and voted on on the floor vs how many were shot down in committee?
When a an arrogant young guy with essentially no experience and no qualifications for the job, was dropped into an Administrator position out of nowhere by his "mentor" in the Mayor's office things seemed fishy. Sometimes things are what they seem.
