RUSTHOVEN: Mourdock one-ups even Akin

their bodies react to prevent pregnancy.
MoreKENNEDY: Elections have consequences

to the election.
MoreRUSTHOVEN: Conservative caricatures mislead
October 13, 2012
Peter J. Rusthoven / Special to IBJOne of the left’s conceits is believing its own caricature of conservatives. Hence, the reflexive liberal reaction is
that a conservative who belies the caricature must be lying.
MoreKENNEDY: Phoenix stays true to its mission
October 6, 2012
Sheila Suess KennedyIn this space, I’ve referenced studies confirming the “instrumental” value of the arts—especially
economic growth and better academic performance. A new study from Rand argues for greater recognition of the intrinsic benefits
as well: growth in individual capacities such as empathy for other peoples and cultures, enhanced powers of observation, and
fuller understanding of the world in which we live.
MoreRUSTHOVEN: The 'Hee Haw' candidate distorts again
September 29, 2012
Peter J. Rusthoven / Special to IBJJohn Gregg is at it again. In a gubernatorial campaign marked by dishonest attacks on GOP nominee Mike Pence, Gregg’s
newest ad shows him under an umbrella with water running off it. Gregg, speaking in Mr. Folksy mode, tells us Pence wants
to spend Indiana’s entire “rainy day” fund. Citing his experience as former Vincennes University president,
Mr. Folksy warns this is a bad idea, one more way Pence threatens education.
MoreKENNEDY: True family-values campaigns
September 22, 2012
Sheila Suess KennedyRecently, all eyes have been glued to developments in the presidential race and to Indiana’s campaigns for governor
and U.S. senator. We’ve paid less attention to the folks running for seats in the Indiana House and Senate.

incumbent.
MoreKENNEDY: Music intrinsic to world-class cities
September 8, 2012
Sheila Suess KennedyWhen I was in city hall in the late 1970s, the goal was to make Indianapolis a “world class” city. That wasn’t
just rhetoric used by Mayor Hudnut. It was echoed by the City Committee (now long defunct) and by Lilly Endowment, which generously
facilitated the goal.
MoreKENNEDY: Which of these is not like the other?
August 25, 2012
Sheila Suess KennedyBowing to the demands of the GOP base, Mitt Romney has chosen his running mate. Paul Ryan is the final confirmation of Romney’s
capitulation to the True Believers.
MoreRUSTHOVEN: If not Daniels, then Ryan
August 18, 2012
Peter J. Rusthoven / Special to IBJPresidential candidate Mitt Romney’s selection of Paul Ryan as his running mate is a superb decision, from a governance
as well as a political perspective.
MoreKENNEDY: Respect the process, and people
August 11, 2012
Sheila Suess KennedyOne of the things I try to explain to students is the importance of process. This is, of course, a central principle of civil
liberties.
MoreRUSTHOVEN: Daniels laid foundation for Pence
August 4, 2012
Peter J. Rusthoven / Special to IBJGOP gubernatorial candidate Mike Pence is proposing a 10-percent state income tax cut, a growth-spurring step that would benefit
more than 90 percent of Hoosier businesses that pay individual income tax, and would give Indiana the lowest combined tax
burden in our region.
MoreKENNEDY: A civics literacy center is born
July 28, 2012
Sheila Suess KennedyIf you’ve been following my columns and blog posts, you are probably tired of my frequent rants about what Americans
don’t know about our own constitutional system.
MoreRUSTHOVEN: Bauer's time has come … and gone
July 21, 2012
Several Indiana House Democrats tried to revolt this month against Minority Leader Pat Bauer, but were foiled by his favorite
tactic—preventing a quorum.
MoreKENNEDY: This time, Sharia law misunderstood
July 14, 2012

MoreRUSTHOVEN: A pocket guide to the health care ruling
July 7, 2012
Peter J. Rusthoven / Special to IBJOurs is a government of limited powers.
MoreKENNEDY: Liar, liar, Romney's pants on fire
June 30, 2012
Sheila Suess KennedyThe lies that mystify me are not those obviously motivated by political ambition.
MoreRUSTHOVEN: The president who's above the law
June 23, 2012

MoreKENNEDY: Sociological whiplash on maddening display
June 16, 2012

MoreKENNEDY: The party obsessed with looking back
May 19, 2012

MoreKENNEDY: Who is the real Mitt Romney?
May 5, 2012
Sheila Suess KennedyThis is a seemingly inexplicable choice.
MoreKENNEDY: Trust continues to dwindle
April 21, 2012
Sheila Suess KennedyWe can’t rebuild social trust by wishing it back. We need a national “house cleaning” to ensure that our
institutions are trustworthy, democratic and ethical.

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.
