Don't confuse marijuana with bath salts, spice
December 29, 2012
In response to Sen. Tom Wyss’s [Dec. 10] letter about marijuana legalization, I am afraid the senator is erroneously
conflating several issues. Marijuana is not related to bath salts or spice. There is also no connection between marijuana
and meth. It is only their current illegal status that is similar.
MoreCitizens Energy should oppose Rockport project
December 29, 2012
Citizens Energy Group proclaims a vision to “… fulfill the promise of the Trust to serve our customers and communities
with unparalleled excellence and integrity” and a mission to “… maintain the lowest possible rates with
sound financial management.” Yet still they remain neutral on Leucadia National Corp.’s Rockport coal gasification
plant.
MoreMorris columns eloquent
December 15, 2012
I have appreciated several of the columns Greg Morris has written about the leadership of Gov. Daniels and Tony Bennett.
MoreCitizens should oppose Leucadia project
December 15, 2012
I was disappointed that the IBJ didn’t cover the ongoing issue of the proposed Leucadia coal-to-gas plant and
the role that Citizens Energy could play in preventing the construction of this project.
MoreDon't abandon tax pledges
December 15, 2012
I’m extremely troubled by some members of the Republican Party recently saying that they will not honor their promises
not to raise taxes on the American people.
MoreKissinger partly right
December 8, 2012
Pete Kissinger [Nov. 26 letter] seems to think that the Bible is the root of all intolerance.
MoreMaurer pumped stock
December 8, 2012
Mickey Maurer’s [Nov. 26] commentary details a very rosy outlook for the future of Endocyte, the Indiana biopharmaceutical
company.
MoreDon't restrict who can marry
December 8, 2012
In Indiana, the groundwork is again being laid by legislators to bring to a vote a constitutional amendment which would define
marriage as between one man and one woman.
MoreImpairment is impairment
December 8, 2012
I am astounded by the editorial reactions and apparent support for the legalization of small amounts of marijuana.
MoreRecycling is big economic engine
December 8, 2012
In the [Nov. 19] IBJ, Jesse Kharbanda outlined the Hoosier Environmental Council’s legislative “wish
list” for the upcoming session.
MorePacers revenue sharing will be less than reported
December 1, 2012
The Indiana Pacers are pleased that the NBA revenue sharing plan reached almost one year ago includes significant changes
to the sharing among all 30 NBA teams. As was pointed out in the Nov. 26 IBJ, the Pacers’ amount will likely
increase, beginning in 2013; however, the increase in 2013 will be dramatically lower than what IBJ reported.
MoreRitz aims to protect teachers' unions
December 1, 2012
J.K. Wall is to be congratulated on his [Nov. 19] exposure of the true Glenda Ritz. Her quote, “Rewriting that waiver
is my most important mission,” says it all. It is clear she has no interest in continuing to achieve the education improvements
made here under Tony Bennett.
MoreFever overlooked
December 1, 2012
I am disappointed that [Benner column, Nov. 19] did not mention the Fever’s WNBA championship as something to be thankful
for.
MoreMass Ave design should be edgier
November 24, 2012
At the American Institute of Architects Regional Conference in Lexington, Ky., Olson Kundig of Seattle and Archimania of Memphis,
the keynote speakers, left Indiana architects in awe of the beautifully detailed and technologically experimental, and amazingly
crafted work.
MoreDon't ruin Mass Ave
November 17, 2012
Carol Faenzi hit the nail on the head [Nov. 12 Viewpoint]. I don’t find many who endorse the exterior design of the
proposed Mass Ave structure.
MoreState Democrats reach critical turning point
November 17, 2012
Like many Democrats, I ended election night with polarized emotions. I started off ecstatic.
MoreRitz should advocate higher teacher salaries
November 17, 2012
Teachers have the most difficult job in the world. They aren’t paid what they’re worth.” Across Indiana,
these words have become cliché. In their guts, Hoosiers know what data has proven—better pay for teachers translates,
in the long run, to better outcomes for students.
MoreTeachers crave rules
November 17, 2012
The Bennett/Ritz election was a contest between forward motion and status quo. Daniels and Bennett are pressing the accelerator.
Ritz represents a tactically oriented teacher group and will pump the brakes to slow change initiatives.
MoreMass Ave project has character
November 15, 2012
Schmidt Associates is pushing Indianapolis' building facades into 21st century leadership.
MoreLeighty sophisticated beyond her years
November 10, 2012
Congratulations and kudos to Hillary Leighty Nov. 5 Forefront]. And she is only a college sophomore.
MoreSelective spin
November 3, 2012
Bruce Hetrick’s [Oct. 22] column “spouted off” on two examples of GOP “spin,” one
regarding Republican Paul Ryan, the other regarding Republican Mitt Romney.
MoreRusthoven an 'epigone'
November 3, 2012
It is clear that Richard Mourdock is an astringent to the derriere of Peter Rusthoven [Oct. 29 column]. How else does one
explain why the luminous Lugar acolyte Rusthoven would attack Mourdock for Mourdock’s cumbersome locution for which
he has apologized and clarified?
MoreDrum up more flights
October 27, 2012
I could not agree more—connections to and from Indianapolis [Oct. 22] are totally inadequate.
MoreMath illiteracy rampant
October 27, 2012
Please don’t blame the state’s emphasis on tests for the lack of life skills in mathematics [Meredith column,
Oct. 1].
MoreDrop Rusthoven
October 27, 2012
Peter Rusthoven’s columns are horrible. There is no business information in them, just conservative Republican dribble.

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.
David Copperfield!
