Forefront
GEIB: Daniels led powerfully from weak office
December 15, 2012
George Geib / Special to IBJMitch Daniels had 48 former governors as role models when he took his oath of office. Now we can decide how he stands among
them.
MoreLONGWORTH: To a fault, Daniels focused on costs
December 15, 2012
Mitch Daniels will leave the governor’s mansion to a chorus of hurrahs from budget-balancers, conservative pundits and
the Republican Party, which wishes—now even more than before—that he had run for president. But what can other
Midwestern states learn from the Daniels era?
MoreWAGNER: Pence could learn from Daniels' style
December 15, 2012
Jennifer Wagner / Special to IBJHere are six words I never imagined stringing together: I’m going to miss Mitch Daniels.
MoreTORR: Existing laws are sufficient to weed out fraudulent claims
December 15, 2012
Jerry Torr / Special to IBJAnytime a government program makes tax dollars available to certain individuals, unfortunately, a few will look to game the
system.
MoreNIEZGODSKI: Hoosiers would be nuts to game this paltry system
December 15, 2012
David Niezgodski / Special to IBJConsider for a moment what it’s like to be on unemployment in Indiana.
MoreSTYRING: Forecasting the next General Assembly
December 15, 2012
Bill Styring / Special to IBJBattle lines for the next General Assembly are evident already.
MoreMAHERN: Ballard turning competition on its head
December 15, 2012
Louis Mahern / Special to IBJWhile the Republican brand in some quarters may be a bit tarnished these days, there is no doubting what it represents—the
idea that we should have smaller government at all levels, and that government should stay out of our personal lives at least
so far as taxation and guns are concerned.
MoreVANE: Ballard quietly restored City Market
December 15, 2012
Robert Vane / Special to IBJLegacy can be a tricky word. Most leaders are interested in the legacy they will leave when their term ends or they step down
from running an organization or entity; others, you could say, probably border on obsessed. Politicians, my reading of history
has educated me, fall mostly into the obsessed category.
MoreTAFT: Restore City Hall to its rightful place
December 15, 2012
Bill Taft / Special to IBJJust north of the revived City Market, along the Alabama Street stretch of the Cultural Trail, stands a vacant landmark that
has resisted redevelopment for almost a decade—the old City Hall.
MoreKRULL: The war against marijuana isn't working
December 15, 2012
John Krull / Special to IBJIndiana seems to be experiencing a fresh outbreak of reefer madness.
MoreFARGO: Mildly agnostic about finishing I-69
December 15, 2012
Anthony L. Fargo / Special to IBJWhen Interstate 64 came to my hometown, I was too young to appreciate what an amazing engineering feat it was. To me, the
construction zone was a wonderland of big trucks and other exotic-looking equipment.
MoreMYERS: Children need moms and dads at home
December 15, 2012
Woodrow Myers / Special to IBJSingle-parent families are at a significant economic disadvantage, and more black children in Indiana (42 percent) are living
in poverty than are nationally (36 percent).
MoreBECK: The biggest and worst of the elections
December 15, 2012
Lara Beck / Special to IBJFor the political among us, 2012 was solely focused on the election. From the early days in January with the Iowa caucuses
to the ongoing transitions at the state and federal levels, the year was packed with action.
MoreBONIFIELD: Protect Ritz's heartening voter mandate
December 15, 2012
Jake Bonifield / Special to IBJBy all accounts, Glenda Ritz has a daunting challenge as the next superintendent of public instruction. Across a state that
has been at the forefront of the so-called education reform movement, recent legislation has incensed and motivated teachers
in profound ways.
MoreHOWEY: Unchastened Chocola soldiers on
December 15, 2012
Brian A. Howey / Special to IBJOne thing is clear in the troubling weeks following the loss of a Republican U.S. Senate seat in Indiana: Chris Chocola will
not give up easily in his quest for ideological purity.
MoreMUTZ: Arcane rules will haunt the new Congress
December 15, 2012
John Mutz / Special to IBJThe priority for Congress as it convenes in a lame-duck session is to reach an agreement that averts a fiscal crisis. To accomplish
that goal, it may also be necessary to agree on major changes to three arcane procedures that govern the House and Senate.
MoreSHELLA: Political lessons learned, and relearned
December 1, 2012
Jim Shella / Special to IBJTen takeaways from a memorable November election in Indiana:
MoreMASSON: Marriage amendment is short-sighted
December 1, 2012
Doug Masson / Special to IBJThomas Jefferson said, “The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But
it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.”
MoreBOEHM: Judicial elections need lawmaker action
December 1, 2012
Ted Boehm / Special to IBJMarion County’s trial judges are selected by a process used nowhere else in the state, and, as far as I know, nowhere
on this planet. In the May primary elections, the two major parties each nominate only half the number of judges that will
be elected in the general election.
MoreWESTERHAUS-RENFROW: Lessons from the War on Poverty
December 1, 2012
Charlotte Westerhaus-Renfrow / Special to IBJAmerica has come so far, having elected a black president to a second term, mainly by women, young and non-whites. Yet, I
hear all too often that Indiana companies cannot find qualified African-American workers.
MoreLEIGHTY: A way forward for the Republican Party
December 1, 2012
Hilary Leighty / Special to IBJThe Republican Party needs a makeover. After the devastating losses suffered Nov. 6, pundits and politicos alike are asking
one question: What will become of the party? As a 21-year-old who will be voting for many years to come, I think the party
must make major changes to remain relevant and attract votes of future generations.
MoreGARRISON: Turning the cover on the constitution
December 1, 2012
Greg Garrison / Special to IBJThe last few weeks have been interesting; for all the hyperbole surrounding the presidential election, some 3 million fewer
votes were cast for the president than in 2008. Go figure. As a snapshot of what that means, John McCain got 2 million more
votes than Mitt Romney this year, while the president garnered 3 million fewer. In the end, the margin was about 2.5 million
votes.
MoreSOUDER: In Indiana, nice guys finish first
December 1, 2012
Mark Souder / Special to IBJIf you are running for a statewide office in Indiana, what matters most: likability or substantive issues?
MoreSULLIVAN: Next for education reform: compromise
December 1, 2012
Mary Ann Sullivan / Special to IBJSome have declared the outcome of the state superintendent’s race to be a wholesale rejection of recent changes to public
education in our state. Such a pronouncement is an oversimplification at best.
MoreDAVIS: Voices of moderation, speak up
December 1, 2012
Kathy Davis / Special to IBJAcross the country on Election Day sprang voices and signs of social acceptance from young people, gay people, women, immigrants
of many decades and people with disabilities. America has changed, and will continue to. Americans are seeing the relationship
between equal opportunity and economic opportunity.

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!
Coming from her background,she should be used to those kinds of advances! Menard probably figured it was ok to tuck a buck!
I'm still waiting for the list of available, high quality apartments in the Village.
This criminal masquerading as a lawyer obviously has serious issues. He’s been proven by his own testimony to be a pathological liar and probably has a personality disorder as he seems to be constructing a reality around himself. He places no value on truth, honesty or loyalty as evidenced by what he has done to his clients and his own family. And by the demands and lies he has made in court, it is evident he feels entitled to do and say whatever suits his purpose and everyone else is expected to nod obediently and believe him because he is, after all, Bill Super Lawyer; or BS lawyer for short. This millionaire wanna-be no longer owns anything of value; he squandered it and put everything he had into foreclosure. He has no money, house, car, boat or vacation home left to show for what he earned or what he stole. He’s just another loser without morals who will be doing time. I’m certain all of his courtroom shenanigans are antagonizing his poor victims. As Lamar said, his behavior and claims in court have been outrageous. The judge needs to be more than concerned; he needs to be judicial and end this nonsense.
