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.

So the Mayor adds another non value added layer to having a vehicle towed? Whereby the City Government RECIEVES AN ILLEGAL KICKBACK FROM A LGOISTICS COMPANY THAT SUBS THE WORK TO LOCAL TOW COMPANIES? What is the service the City performs for receiving the "tribute"? This is RICO!!!!! What a corrupt and unnecessary layer. What a dirtbag Mayor and his cronies.
Owner occupied housing. Clear enough?
So people think I am paranoid. It's from experience in dealing with puds requested by developers who make major donations themselves to representatives, have nice fund raisers for those running for office and hide through pac's. then there are the public relation firms. You will note some pr comments below. You there Clyde Lee? My opinion. Commercial along 421, great. Multifamily housing, terrible idea that will change the town. Senior condos or zero lot line homes west, great. I suggest keeping all entries to commercial areas at 421. All entries to owner occupied on sycamore. Will keep the traffic on sycamore down some. Two other things. You can't trust what will be there in 10 years. Steve builds quality stuff, but areas change over time. Look at the changes at the wall mart center at 86th and 421 over the last 10 years. Look at the apartments and neighborhoods behind St Vincent's. Raintree properties WILL decrease in value if commercial and multifamily goes in near. It has already been happening around the bridges area. The houses that have been sold recently are way below market. Several deals not closed due to the Illinois construction and the whole unsurety of the bridges. It's pretty simple, Zionsville will approve the whole thing because the city council has been groomed over a LONG period of time for this. I might even suggest some are in their position as a result of this.
Esta, do you have a dog in this fight? You seem to really want to knock anyone against this project. No, I didn't move to Indiana for the architecture. I moved here for that red barn in the field. The horses and fields of corn. A place that is NOT overdeveloped. There are plenty of nearby places in Indianapolis that could be REDEVELOPED instead.
RKW - OK, we get it, you're paranoid. The question is, are you paranoid enough? Greg - Yes, Pittman(s) is (are) at it again. They are developers, they build things. It's what they do. So when you go to work tomorrow, Greg, you're at it again too. Cliff - Really? You moved to Indiana for its progressive architecture? That's like moving to England for the cuisine. Zionsvillain - The house you moved to was once a field or woods. I'm willing to bet folks were upset when that ground was plowed under and a house was built. But I guess now that you are in, everything should stop? "My house was OK, but the next one is sprawl." SE Guy - Please don't paint us with such a wide brush. Most reasonable Zionsville residents welcome planned, measured development.
