Peter Rusthoven’s [Feb. 18 ] column “‘Relevance’ is irrelevant” could not have been more on
point. The world view, as seen through liberal media, is that not just the Roman Catholic Church but Christianity in general
needs to “become more relevant to an increasingly secular world.

While I don’t always agree with [Greg Morris], he was spot on with this [Feb. 25] column. Excellent job on this huge issue

There are good reasons to feel optimistic about the changes taking place as a result of health care reform. More people will
have access to insurance through health insurance marketplaces, and many will be able to take advantage of tax credits to
afford this new coverage.

Samuel L. Odle / Special to IBJMost days I wish the government would take less of my money and let me use it to save, invest, donate or just spend frivolously.
I figure I earned this money, it’s mine and I deserve to keep it, right?

Vi Simpson / Special to IBJDaily, I see politicians arguing, reciting their talking points, without facts. I hear political pundits repeating those talking

Mickey MaurerQuentin Paige Smith died in January at age 94. If you didn’t know the Big Q, you missed a hell of a man—his own
man—unbowed by the evil racism of the pre-Civil Rights era. I wrote his biography for my book “19 Stars of Indiana—Exceptional
Hoosier Men,” and now I can tell you the rest of that story.

Peter J. Rusthoven / Special to IBJIf our president is right—and who doubts a word he utters?—writing this is wasting time, as it is scheduled for
publication that day after the “sequester” takes effect and life comes to an end. But on the off chance the world
survives, let’s soldier on for the fraction of readers who might not always find this column a waste of time.

Hilary Leighty / Special to IBJArguably one of the most passionate and polarizing debates in the General Assembly this session is the allocation of the transportation

new highways.

Are there not any really decent people to run for Congress [Maurer column, Feb. 18]? Too many of these candidates have the
ability to speak smoothly, show an engaging personality and make a good impression. The real essence of their character is
not revealed until they are caught taking advantage of their slick-lip shenanigans.

Jim Shella / Special to IBJDo the politicians care what nonvoters think? House Speaker Brian Bosma recently took issue with the WISH-TV/Ball State Hoosier
Survey because, he said, it wasn’t a voter poll. When challenged, he said that he cares what everybody thinks, but the
message he delivered was that the opinions of voters matter more than those of adults who don’t get to the polls.

Mark Souder / Special to IBJGov. Mike Pence doesn’t just want a tax cut for Hoosiers. A tax cut was foundational to his campaign and his philosophy
of conservatism: Growth comes faster when individuals and corporations spend their own money, because it is more productive
(leveraged better), more diversely spread (less likely to be bet on winners and losers), and more reflective of actual markets.

Good project for Zionsville - A group who has owned the property for many years has waited and worked patiently to bring highest and best use development to a major corridor, and mix that in with the great downtown you have. Win Win. All the Best to Pittman Partners and Zionsville.
