Letters to the Editor
Stick to oval racing roots
May 18, 2013
Thanks for Benner’s [May 6] column. There are far too many street/grand prix races already.
MoreTransit skeptic lists demands
May 18, 2013
You ask how to get non-believers on board [May 13 editorial].
1. Show me one mass transit system in the nation that is self-supporting, including upkeep and depreciation with excess inflow of cash.
School choice segregates
May 18, 2013
Reflecting on the [May 13] article “Trying to Reclaim a Legacy,” please don’t forget
another group of people who took a risk: the taxpayers.
MoreDefer to Urbanski on seating decision
May 11, 2013
I strongly support Maestro Urbanski’s decision not to have people seated in the Stage Terrace behind the orchestra [April
22 editorial].
MoreISO editorial unfounded
May 4, 2013
I am surprised to find the IBJ [April 22 editorial] calling something bad business without having done any real research
to find out if the action it scorns is really bad business.
MoreIndiana University-Kokomo in good hands
May 4, 2013
“Charges flew after IU-Kokomo chancellor’s sudden exit” [April 22] contradicts the reality of our experience.
MoreRidership won’t cover cost of mass transit
April 27, 2013
Responding to the [April 15] millennial view Jordan Updike has of transit, I appreciate his passion for mass transit, and
I would echo that passion in the negative.
MoreTransit should support itself
April 27, 2013
Who wouldn’t want a transit system that saved them $8,000 while someone else paid the bills [Updike Viewpoint, April
15]?
MoreForeign aid is important
April 27, 2013
In light of the sequestration, it is crucial that the government realizes the importance of foreign aid spending and its impact
on the economy.
MoreSidewalks before transit
April 20, 2013
I recently returned home to the Indianapolis area. Growing up in Carmel, the only bus I rode was the school bus. My travels
with the military exposed me to mass transit: the subway in New York City, trains in Europe and the Middle East, and the bus
and light rail system in Hampton Roads area of Virginia.
MoreFleeced at the ‘hospital’
April 20, 2013
In the July 9, 2011, IBJ, I warned that employers and patients are paying a steep price for the shift of physician
services to hospital outpatient departments. The [April 8] article about physical therapy services is a clear example of this.
MoreHospital expertise varies
April 20, 2013
I read with great interest [Mickey Maurer’s April 15] column about his prostate cancer experiences.
MoreMisplaced focus
April 20, 2013
The [April 8] story about the Center Township trustee was absolutely incredible.
MoreMahern got it wrong
April 13, 2013
The [April 1] Forefront column by Louis Mahern discussed a zoning case in the Fletcher Place Neighborhood “called
down” by City-County Councilor Jeff Miller. Mahern’s column incorrectly assumes that neighborhood opposition to
the project relates to its affordable housing aspect.
MoreTax cut costs taxpayers?
April 6, 2013
How would IBJ allow John Zody [April 1 Forefront] to write, “The governor’s 10-percent income tax cut,
which would cost taxpayers more than a half a billion dollars …”?
MoreIraq column not credible
April 6, 2013
I read with incredulity Mike Hicks’ [March 25] column on the Iraq war’s “success or failure.”
MoreBan canned hunting
April 6, 2013
The General Assembly is considering legislation that would allow businesses to continue to provide high-paying customers the
ability to shoot white-tailed deer within fenced enclosures.
MoreHealthy Indiana Plan has too little capacity
March 30, 2013
As a leader in the United Methodist faith tradition, I and our church are called to reach out to the poor and society’s
marginalized.
More‘Wrogn’ again
March 30, 2013
I enjoyed the [March 18] Viewpoint “It’s inevitable that plans go wrogn.”
MoreBiologics 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.

Good ole' Obamacare. Thanks liberals and those who didn't bother to vote.
Yes. Blame those who were too lazy to go vote Obama out and those who voted him in again. That's my take on it. I know folks won't get it on the left. OK. Start berating me now!
Serioulsy, people are AGINST this project? Most communities would be salivating over a project like this. You'd rather have an empty eye-sore gas station and shacks posing as apartments? This project is exactly what BR needs. BUILD IT MR MAYOR. And yes, I am a BR resident, and have been for 20 years.
As a St. Vincent employee of over 20 years, I am saddened and disheartened by this announcement. Unfortunately, as the healthcare "industry" continues on this political and corporate path, all that St. Vincent Hospital has stood for spiritually for its employees and this community is being sucked dry. I know it truly has no choice. It is not just Obamacare or just competition or just any single thing. This trend started long before I was even born when the government became involved in healthcare and it became an "industry." I grieve for those who will lose their jobs, one of whom may be me, but I also grieve for this hospital which I have served for over 20 years. May God give us and it the grace to withstand the future of healthcare.
Why do people constantly harp on this issue and act ignorant about what a city population measures? A city's population is the city's population. There is no argument or debate about it. If you want to measure the density of a city--measure it. If you want to measure the size of a metropolitan area, then measure the metropolitan population. City boundaries cover different sized areas--and they always have (though the disparity has probably increased since about 1900 or so when more cities began annexing their surrounding communities). For example, San Francisco only covers 49 square miles while Houston cover nearly 600 square miles. No one argues about the population rankings of either city even though they clearly cover extremely different sized areas. Indianapolis is the 13 largest city by population in the U.S. That is a fact. While the population of a metropolitan area may give you a better sense of how large a community is, as noted, even metro areas can vary widely in the size of geographic area they cover--so that is not a perfect comparison either.
