MYERS: Another opportunity to ban killer tobacco
August 20, 2011
Woodrow Myers / Special to IBJYes, for me this is personal. My father, Woodrow Sr., died of lung cancer caused by cigarettes. So did his brother Rufus.
So did his brother Alphonso. So did his brother Joseph.
MoreFARGO: Investigating a court record? Good luck
August 20, 2011
Anthony L. Fargo / Special to IBJIt might take a big chunk of the 21st century for the state to catch up to the 21st century.
MoreMAHERN: Look how far our society has progressed
August 20, 2011
Louis Mahern / Special to IBJIn these 30-some pages of advertising, there are photographs of 30 different individuals. Not one is African-American.
MoreLADWIG: Bring the spirit of Lincoln back to Indiana
August 20, 2011
Craig Ladwig / Special to IBJIs that our position? Stand there confident that the inscrutable workings of a free market will restore our failing towns?
Pretty much.
MoreVANE: Don't miss out on the calling of politics
August 20, 2011
Robert Vane / Special to IBJIt is easy to focus on the scandals and the politicians who fall gracelessly from grace. But for every one of them, the ones
we’d like to forget, there is a Richard Lugar or an Andy Jacobs whose service to this country we should never forget.
MoreSWAYZE: Fix the chaos Murphy Brown unleashed
August 20, 2011
Sue Swayze / Special to IBJIt is time we start to look at these issues as a whole: Broken families are costing us dearly in both dollars and struggling
lives.

MoreQUINN: Picking off neighboring business is shortsighted strategy
August 6, 2011

in our arsenal.
MoreROOB: Illinois businesses come for sanity, not incentives
August 6, 2011
Mitch Roob / Special to IBJOur recent billboard campaign—Illinnoyed—in and near Chicago was a little tongue-in-cheek, but it got our point
across.
MoreBOEHM: New districts further polarize Legislature
August 6, 2011
Ted Boehm / Special to IBJNew maps are as severely gerrymandered as their predecessors, and adherence to some stated goals of neutral districting does
not come close to achieving a fair plan.
MoreVAUGHN: Indianapolis should ban contractor contributions
August 6, 2011
Julia Vaughn / Special to IBJFor too long, candidates for county and city offices have taken for granted that a large percentage of their campaign war
chests come from individuals and entities seeking to do business with local government.
MoreKETZENBERGER: There's nothing divine about a balanced budget
August 6, 2011
John Ketzenberger / Special to IBJThe governor, legislative fiscal leaders and their fiscal staffs deserve a lot of credit, but their effort to put Indiana
on sound fiscal footing is not miraculous. They did it the old-fashioned way—with a lot of hard work, tough decisions
and a little luck.
MoreWOUDENBERG: Troubling reflections from the White case
August 6, 2011
Anita Y. Woudenberg / Special to IBJFor the voter, Republican or otherwise, it suggests an irresolute moral character that makes at least this conservative think
twice about why she’s involved in a party that apparently can’t be bothered to look after its own.
MoreHARRIS: Getting parents involved works better than punishment
August 6, 2011
David Harris / Special to IBJThe notion that kids from challenging backgrounds are destined to fail could not be more wrong.
MoreMEREDITH: Parents are just one piece of intricate education puzzle
August 6, 2011
Teresa Meredith / Special to IBJPolicymakers, schools and educators must be realistic in their expectations for parents with the challenges families face.
MoreCAMPBELL: What to do with Lafayette Square Mall
August 6, 2011
Steve Campbell / Special to IBJSafe, traditional options won’t work here; we have to get aggressive.
MoreKINGSOLVER: Ballard is a mayor for the next generation
August 6, 2011
Justin Kingsolver / Special to IBJAs a young person jaded by countless politicians’ broken promises to “ensure a better future for our children
and grandchildren,” it is refreshing to see a political leader actually enact policies and programs that deliver on
those promises.
MoreSHELLA: Rename clunky IUPUI for Doc Bowen
August 6, 2011
Jim Shella / Special to IBJYou could come up with a clumsier name for a college than Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis, but it would
be tough.
MoreEARLY: Don't underestimate our National Guard
August 6, 2011
Rex Early / Special to IBJThe Indiana Guard Ranger Company served intact in the Vietnam War and earned more medals in 1969 than any U.S. Army company
in a one-year period.
MoreHOWEY: Bauer, other aged House Dems should go
July 23, 2011

MoreKRULL: An ode to journalists felled by tech, economy
July 23, 2011
John Krull / Special to IBJFor many of the journalists whose jobs have fled or who are just barely hanging on, it is as if they are pilgrims whose church
has abandoned them.
MoreBONIFIELD: Bad laws now costing taxpayers in court
July 23, 2011
Jake Bonifield / Special to IBJThe focus of this session should have been on improving the economy and creating jobs. Instead, money, time and energy were
wasted on red herrings.
MoreFERGUSON: States'-rights crowd hurts small people
July 23, 2011
Margaret Ferguson / Special to IBJThe debate over Medicaid funding and Planned Parenthood is about the access of poor people to health care. And about the right
of the state of Indiana to assert the power to say where poor people can receive such health care services.
MoreRUSTHOVEN: Coats, Lugar steering clear of extremes
July 23, 2011
Peter J. Rusthoven / Special to IBJSome in the GOP—quite unlike President Reagan, whose mantle they claim—prefer striking poses to striking a deal
to achieve the possible.

These higher rates Co. e about only because physicians are now hospital employees. otherwise physicians couldn't charge these rates and share the windfall with the hospital. Community/rural hospitals probably not buying physicians practices and thus weren't getting the windfall anyway.
The incentive for poor people to get themselves off public assistance and "no longer be poor" is even with help...they're STILL POOR! Being poor, even with some assistance, isn't all that pleasant. (I speak from experience) It's a stubborn myth that poor people, who are on public assistance, are sitting in the lap of luxury. You should try living on just those "freebies" that you mentioned and see how meager they actually are. By the way, I didn't mean you had to buy/own a puppy...just pet one. :)
As near as I can tell the minority has ZERO constitutional obligation to offer a quorum to the majority. A requirement for quorum was inserted into the constitution so that tyrannical majorities could not simply shove through odious and objectionable legislation (which is exactly what they did.) By allowing a tyrannical majority to charge fines against the minority for exercising their constitutional prerogative to deny quorum the court as made a mockery of constitutional governance in the state of Indiana.
The voters elected the Reps to make a vote not walk out on the vote. They had to the right to exercise their opinion and vote "no" to the bill. Let me ask you this if you walked out of your job for 5 straight weeks would you get paid? Would you even have a job to go back to? If any elected official walks out on the people they should be arrested for stealing tax dollars from the public. They were elected to do a job and not leave when the job gets stuff.
I have been to several of their locations in Pennsylvania and always go in for 1 item and leave with a basket full of things. I'm very happy they decided on Indiana, now if only they would put the other store in eastside.
