MUTZ: Burton should go out while he's on top

MoreFERGUSON: Indiana governors are not underpowered
August 20, 2011

the other way. While they are literally out of town.
MoreMYERS: 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.

MoreMAHERN: Look how far our society has progressed
August 20, 2011

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

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

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

August 6, 2011

those promises.

See, I told u Indyman and Dipsicle....this 8 days is overkill. It's barely worth a weekend....great job Tony George! Your dream has been fulfilled....he fans want the I r l back. Thats how good it was.....and that sucked.
I have been in training for a short time now but right off I can see that safety and quality are the number one issues, my experience as of late has been a positive one, the employees along with Jeff the plant manager and the operation supervisor as well as the engineers are a highly motivated group of people, what an asset for the area to have and for company's in need of a quality metal products.
Pimlico
While I understand the severity of their actions as well as everyones eagerness to hold them responsible for thier lost funds, these gentlemen did know how to make money. Dispite thier poor decisions over the ownership of Fair they had made several wise investments which paid them greatly. This proves they do have the potential to rebuild so they can repay. I do not feel they should live the life of luxuary but given an opportunity could they find ways of repaying the debts? They are doing nothing now but being a burden on tax payers. Just a thought!!!!!
You guys have some "interesting" comments to say the least. I hope you will call in and share those opinions starting June 1. I'm looking forward to having you on the air.
