Steven Libman / Special to IBJJay Harvey, the performing arts critic for The Indianapolis Star, retired from the paper May 17. Given the importance
of the arts to central Indiana, not to mention the amount of advertising bought by arts organizations, one would think the

With businesses everywhere working to attract and retain great talent and customers, giving back to the community can end
up on the back burner. The time and effort required to connect with charities, plan events and provide time off from critical
business focus initially seems to be counterproductive. This paradigm leaves many leaders scratching their heads about corporate
social responsibility.

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.

Lou, I had mouth watering just by reading your review. I recently was in this restaurant with family and friends and I can tell you THIS IS A REAL TASTE OF MEXICO. Forget about those restaurants that claim being "authentic Mexican food". Don Gusto P.J. has the most Authentic regional taste of Mexican food. My wife is from Mexico City and she can tell this was like home. It's a small place, but the greatness of Don Gusto P.J. is the real authentic taste of Mexican Food and the friendly service. By the way, this is a family owned and operated business. Great review, Lou!
With the way this lovely couple met, it's amazing their business failed. I mean, I'm young and easy going but I wouldn't trust her or him as far as I could throw them
