Forefront
BOEHM: Ignorance of civics undermines democracy
May 7, 2011
Ted Boehm / Special to IBJTo identify and reject abuses of power, citizens need to understand the wisdom in the constitutional limits on the role of
each branch of government and the respective domains of federal and state governments.
MoreKETZENBERGER: Cook and Durham are a study in contrasts
May 7, 2011
John Ketzenberger / Special to IBJCook took wealth for himself, no doubt, but not before he made sure the companies and the employees had what they needed,
and we’re all the better for it.
MoreTENBARGE: Don't overlook Lugar's history of service
May 7, 2011
Barrett Tenbarge / Special to IBJThough I have enormous admiration and respect for Mourdock, I stand firmly behind Lugar for the good of this nation and this
state.
MoreHARRIS: Revised schools would free money to pay best teachers more
May 7, 2011
David Harris / Special to IBJOf all the school factors that affect how much students learn, nothing is more important than the quality of the teachers
in their classrooms.
MoreMEREDITH: Questions are legion as critical reform details fall into place
May 7, 2011
Teresa Meredith / Special to IBJIn the end, the unintended consequences may be that Indiana is left without the high-quality teachers it needs to prepare
our students for success.
MoreRENN: How about it? 'Naptown' as Indy's brand
May 7, 2011
Aaron M. Renn / Special to IBJNaptown is easy to connect to Indianapolis and can easily be imbued with positive connotations, implying a cool, urban, edgy
vibe. Think Naptown Roller Girls and you’ve got the right idea.
MoreMUTZ: Indiana should pioneer 'no adult left behind'
April 23, 2011
John Mutz / Special to IBJIndiana needs its own version of the G.I. Bill aimed at the undereducated. We should formulate a targeted program that is
designed so that no adult is left behind.
MoreFERGUSON: Protest walkouts are worthy of protection
April 23, 2011
Margaret Ferguson / Special to IBJRemoving this possibility from future minority parties (whoever they may be) would unfairly hamstring the minority and give
them no voice in the face of an unyielding majority.
MoreMYERS: A boardwalk view of medicinal marijuana
April 23, 2011
Woodrow Myers / Special to IBJCarnival barkers hustle you into the “doctor’s office,” where virtually any diagnosis leads to a “prescription”
for the FDA-unapproved “Sour Diesel.”
MoreCARTER: Leadership traits will define whether Indiana succeeds
April 23, 2011
Steve Carter / Special to IBJOur state will best address our future needs by fostering engagement, confidence with optimism, and accountability.
MoreGREGG: Politicians have lost sight of voter demands for job creation
April 23, 2011
John R. Gregg / Special to IBJHoosiers have had enough of the bickering and back-room deals on Capitol Hill and Capitol Avenue, and bickering has never
created a single job.
MoreHOWEY: Let's count who might run for Congress
April 23, 2011
Brian A. Howey / Special to IBJThe most interesting will come in the new 6th congressional district that just about everyone expects to be vacated by U.S.
Rep. Mike Pence for a 2012 gubernatorial run.
MoreKRULL: The weird election for Indianapolis mayor
April 23, 2011
John Krull / Special to IBJIndianapolis now has a mayor who fades into the background. He is the mayor we still do not know.
MoreMAHERN: Finger the elephant, mayoral candidates
April 23, 2011
Louis Mahern / Special to IBJTalking about education in a mayor’s race will only upset the adults who are the system’s primary beneficiaries—administrators
and teachers.
MoreWAGNER: Pointers for those moments in the trenches
April 23, 2011
Jennifer Wagner / Special to IBJIf you’re extremely lucky, your political adversary will have hired young, inexperienced staffers who telegraph their
boss’s next moves on Twitter and Facebook.
MoreLADWIG: The last thing newspapers need is a subsidy
April 23, 2011
Craig Ladwig / Special to IBJYou should know that publishers of the smaller community newspapers, specialty papers and media systems throughout the nation
were outperforming the big shots until the recession, their closeness to their readerships saving them from the hubris of
advocacy.
MoreFARGO: In defense of controversial e-mail requests
April 23, 2011
Anthony L. Fargo / Special to IBJAre they politically motivated? Probably. Do they have the potential to intimidate professors and institutions? Yes. Are they
illegal or unethical? No.
MoreBONIFIELD: Lee Hamilton, free of bumper stickers
April 23, 2011
Jake Bonifield / Special to IBJThe realization was startling. How could someone with such a high profile—a major political figure by any standard—be
so nonchalant in weaving across the center line?
MoreVAUGHN: No excuse for keeping tainted Durham funds
April 9, 2011
Julia Vaughn / Special to IBJContinuing to use the excuse that the money is already spent amounts to a slap in the face of the Ohio victims of Durham’s
illegal scheme, many who lost their life savings.
MoreKETZENBERGER: Drafting Daniels for corporate Indiana
April 9, 2011
John Ketzenberger / Special to IBJIf his first run for governor is any indication, he’d make a heckuva presidential candidate. I hope he doesn’t.
MoreBOEHM: State employees hang in court balance
April 9, 2011
Ted Boehm / Special to IBJIf the Supreme Court agrees with the 1984 opinion, the effect would presumably be to bar state employees from serving in the
Legislature, a holding of no small consequence.
MoreHARRIS: Education reform would elevate, not denigrate, teachers
April 9, 2011
David Harris / Special to IBJWhat is especially troubling about this tactic is that it denies us a chance to debate these critical issues. The policies
being proposed in Indiana to evaluate and reward teachers would benefit from a robust debate.
MoreMEREDITH: Bashing dedicated teachers is no way to reform education
April 9, 2011
Teresa Meredith / Special to IBJTeachers simply cannot be made the scapegoats in the education reform debate. This merely distracts from the real issues at
hand.
MoreRIVERA: Martindale-Brightwood revamp can set strong example
April 9, 2011
Angel RiveraA walk through the streets there showed a pattern of crumbling infrastructure, missing chunks of sidewalks, and boarded-up
homes. When I asked a city official for the number of abandoned houses in this neighborhood, he answered, “between 300
and 450."
MoreSANDERS: Create a sense of community across broader Indianapolis
April 9, 2011
Joanne Sanders / Special to IBJThe dictionary defines “neighborhood” as “a district where people live.” That certainly defines Indianapolis

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.
For those who let this information strike a nerve, remember that this is still the America that allows the freedom to achieve dreams and goals. Should you really chastise those who are given a perk on a deal that is supported by the consumer (that is until they don't like the deal anymore due to envy) or should the dream of rewards for working be looked at a little closer? I say lets stick to the deal, go to work,earn our keep, shoot for dreams, change our jobs to have that dream or shut up about others achievements ..............while we are still afforded this liberty of America !
Three Magi
Cats out of the bag. The object of the game is to get acquired. That means the company has no idea how to grow beyond a certain point. Email is a 1990s technology. I have laughed at this company since day one. Such a small bit player. If it was anywhere but here, it wouldn't be newsworthy.
Esther, Indy has passed Chicago in the local government corruption arena. Don't downgrade us. We're No. 1 in the Midwest.
