STUART: Spend more on quality pre-K education
June 15, 2013
Connie Bond Stuart / Special to IBJFundamental to the American experience is the belief that our children have opportunity to reach whatever heights to which
they aspire.
MoreLIBMAN: A plan to fill a media void in the arts
June 8, 2013
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
Star has a plan.
MoreROSENTHAL: Women still struggle for opportunities to lead
June 1, 2013
In the early 1970s, when I was studying at Barnard College in New York City, I worked as a bartender.
MoreSHELLEY: Indiana architects finally get Good Samaritan bill
May 25, 2013
Jason Shelley / Special to IBJWhen a tornado swept through Henryville in 2012, I know plenty of Indiana architects who would have gladly volunteered their
time to help first responders assess the structural integrity of houses, school buildings, churches and stores.
MoreDAVIS: Support workers' volunteerism
May 18, 2013
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.
MoreDRESSLAR: Extremists hindering Common Core
May 11, 2013
David Dresslar / Special to IBJControversy over education policy is normal for the General Assembly, but this session’s pointless rancor over Common
Core State Standards has only hindered progress in teaching our children and building our communities.
MorePartying like it’s 2013
May 4, 2013
John Ketzenberger / Special to IBJEven after the Great Recession and throughout the stubborn economic recovery, it’s getting harder to recall when Indiana’s
fiscal house was a shambles.
MorePHALEN: Schools for the technology age
April 20, 2013
Earl PhalenThe world has changed so much over the past century due to the rapid pace of invention and new knowledge. Systems and processes
are constantly updated to serve our realities.
MoreUPDIKE: A millennial view of transit
April 13, 2013
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.
MoreIndiana leads in Medicaid change
April 6, 2013
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.
MoreWILLIAMS: Cost-cutting obsession is myopic
March 30, 2013
Often with great pride, elected officials and those seeking elective office exclaim that Indiana is a paragon of fiscal probity
and that bountiful state reserves demonstrate the caliber of Hoosier leadership.
MoreKENNEDY: There’s no free lunch
March 23, 2013
Sheila Suess KennedyI continue to be amazed by the pundits and politicians who insist that eviscerating government programs will save money.
MoreWHITE: In honor of native son Michael Graves
March 23, 2013
Drew Whitehe architecture of Michael Graves is controversial. Some dismiss his work for its post-modern and overly decorative qualities.
MoreWALDO: It’s inevitable that plans go wrogn
March 16, 2013
Charles Waldo / Special to IBJYears ago, Murphy observed, “If anything can go wrong, it will.” Murphy’s law has endured because, although
we might chuckle, it rings of truth.
MorePAULEY: Indianapolis is an education epicenter
March 9, 2013
Jane Pauley / Special to IBJA few years ago at a dinner in Washington, D.C., with some of the nation’s leading education reformers, one of them
asked if I knew about The Mind Trust.
MoreHOLLENBERG: Deregulation has gone too far
March 2, 2013
Cindy A. Hollenberg / Special to IBJAs an environmental policy analyst, the governor’s ordering of a moratorium on environmental regulation concerns me.
It should also concern Indiana residents and businesses.
MoreKISSINGER: That's not fair!
February 23, 2013
Pete KissingerA number of accusations on both sides in the 2012 elections were extrapolations rebroadcast out of context. I began to wonder
if the very notion of fairness was worthy of study, or if the word had any substantive meaning beyond complexion and the weather.
MoreBARANOWSKI: Indy is a great city, except...
February 16, 2013
Grace Baranowski / Special to IBJIt was my privilege to testify recently before the House Roads & Transportation Committee in support of House Bill 1011.
I joined more than three dozen citizens, community leaders and elected officials to share our support for mass transit in
central Indiana.
MoreZAHN: Attack health problems the Indy Way
February 9, 2013
Tamara Zahn / Special to IBJWith all the talk about increasing health care costs, the Affordable Care Act and Hoosiers’ poor health standings, now
is the time for Indianapolis to be bold and take action.
MoreMAGID: Invest in the ripple effect
February 2, 2013
Julie Manning Magid / Special to IBJCompetitive, growing public companies that develop job opportunities and invest in the needs and resources of our community
have a long-standing ripple effect.
MoreHINCKLEY: Fads undermine school reform
January 26, 2013
Peggy Hinckley / Special to IBJWould you launch four or five initiatives in your business in a year? And then introduce three or four more the following
year? Of course not!
MoreLANGELLIER: Pounce on this tech opportunity
January 19, 2013
Mike Langellier / Special to IBJFor several years, the national media and venture capital investment community have focused myopically on consumer Web and
social Web companies like Facebook, Zynga, Groupon and others.
MoreCLARK: The fairness of marriage
January 5, 2013
Micah Clark / Special to IBJIndiana defines marriage in a singular way—between a man and a woman. As I discussed the merits of this law recently
with an opponent, his disagreement fell into two fundamental areas: fairness and civil rights.
MoreGUY: How to revive dying service clubs
December 29, 2012
John GuyDespite evidence that change is necessary, some businesses, not-for-profits and associations cannot do it. An example is service
clubs. The Indianapolis Jaycees, having had more than 400 members in 1976, appears to have canceled its telephone number.
Zionsville Kiwanis ceased business in September.
MoreLIBMAN: Shrink unwieldy not-for-profit boards
December 22, 2012
Steven Libman / Special to IBJAs major arts institutions in central Indiana search for administrative leadership and financial stability, a logical question
might be, what should be the role of the board for a not-for-profit organization?

Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.
Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.
I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.
The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.
I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
