Jordan Updike / Special to IBJIt has been a discouraging year in local politics. Several baby boomers have apologized to me for the state of affairs they
are handing over to my generation, and each conversation has made clear the deep and fundamental issues Indiana’s next
leaders will face.

Mike HicksA most remarkable book, “Bourgeois Dignity: Why Economics Can’t Explain the Modern World,”, says all the
explanations of the explosion of economic growth that occurred about 300 years ago are inadequate.

Ed FeigenbaumFor a Legislature dominated by a Republican super-majority and with a Republican governor doing more now than just watching
from the cheap seats, you should be surprised by the uncertainty over the shape—and even the fate—of several significant
bills this late in the process.

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.

Mike PenceA society can be judged by how it deals with its most vulnerable. When it comes to health care, the best thing for every Hoosier,
rich or poor, is more choices and more incentives for preventive care. In the debate over Medicaid expansion, our aim must
be to protect the health of Hoosiers in need and maintain the fiscal health of our state. Expanding traditional Medicaid cannot
accomplish both.

Three Magi
Cats out of the bag. The object of the game is to get acquired. That means the company has no idea how to grow beyond a certain point. Email is a 1990s technology. I have laughed at this company since day one. Such a small bit player. If it was anywhere but here, it wouldn't be newsworthy.
Esther, Indy has passed Chicago in the local government corruption arena. Don't downgrade us. We're No. 1 in the Midwest.
Does the buyer get to keep the recent Accu-Chek J.D. Power award? Be careful, those Swiss cannot be trusted. Last June they pimped Mayor Ballard and former Governor Daniels at a media op, announcing plans to invest "$300 million at its Indianapolis headquarters, creating up to 100 new jobs by 2017," only to turn around and close the Roche Nutley, NJ facility and eliminate 1000 jobs there later the same week. It seems that healthcare can be innovated only as long as money is to be made. Right now Roche seems to have big eyes for China: there are many Chinese in China and potential billions in Swiss francs! Since Roche is having difficulty with US insurance companies swallowing the bill for overpriced cancer drugs (with debatable efficacy) why not sell insurance to the Chinese and market the drugs to them there? There is a name for these sort of business practices however proper decorum precludes it use in this forum.
Same kind of Luddites who oppose I-69. Guessing their 501(c)(4) application probably sailed right through the IRS.
