Maurer gets it right on marriage equality
June 15, 2013
I’m amazed at how many don’t understand the difference between civil marriage—the one that government sanctions—and
religious marriage, the one ordained by religious institutions [Maurer Commentary, May 27].
MoreNew light on lightbulbs
June 15, 2013
I felt it necessary to fact-check Sheila Kennedy concerning her [June 3] column about conservative reaction to the environment.
MoreHow to fix the Indy 500
June 8, 2013
The Indianapolis 500 is still the biggest, most spine-tingling deal of all sporting events. So, why the downturn in worldwide
excitement? There are a number of reasons:
MoreTrends can misguide
June 8, 2013
Who does [Mickey Maurer] admire more, a man of principle and conviction or a man who sways with political winds [May 27 Commentary]?
MoreClosing long-term parking lot is short-sighted decision
May 25, 2013
I am sincerely baffled by the Indianapolis Airport Authority’s [May 6 online] decision to close long-term parking, the
closest surface lot to the terminal, essentially forcing all surface parking to the more distant economy lot.
MoreBroad Ripple project will stimulate spending
May 25, 2013
Some business are worried that Canal Pointe will detract from their income [May 11]. Without a doubt, this specific area needs
developing.
MoreStick 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.

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.

Ameriana Bank took over Westfield Farmers Market for 2013 and it is held in their parking lot, corner of 32 and Carey road, 5 to 8. I am selling soap and candles there. great market!
B&T certainly has enough of our taxpayer dollars to do this thanks to Mayor Ballard. Given the firm's exceedingly poor reputation in the legal community, the basement would seem a better option.
Should read MAY hire 20 people.
Not a good location for a 300,000 home. 10th Street fumes, buses, noise. Max for this location 150,000.
The state constitution also does not say that the majority has a right to quorum, nor that the minority is required to allow them quorum. In fact, denial of quorum has been a parliamentary maneuver since the establishment of the first parliaments in the early 1600s. The right to deny quorum (and the requirement fore quorum) are to prevent exactly what happened in Indiana: A tyrannical majority pushing through odious, objectionable legislation. Denial of quorum is totally legitimate, and lest we forget, a tactic the GOP has employed many, many times to ensure their issues weren't given short shrift. By allowing the majority to impose "fines" on the minority for exercising the authority the constitution grants them (to deny quorum,) they are violating the constitution.
