larger strategy of rebuilding the franchise.
MoreEDITORIAL: Purdue launches grand experiment with Daniels pick

MoreEDITORIAL: City sends message that design counts

MoreEDITORIAL: Richard Lugar leaves a legacy
May 12, 2012

aisle to solve a problem was a strike against him.

MoreEDITORIAL: Pence has chance to lead, not hide behind money

MoreEDITORIAL: White's plan for IPS lacks vision, innovation

MoreEDITORIAL: Silver linings to April's slow start
April 14, 2012

MoreEDITORIAL: Indianapolis' new education deputy should work fast
March 24, 2012
IBJ StaffIf Eugene White leaves Indianapolis Public Schools—maybe not so coincidentally near Jason Kloth’s April 1 move
into the City-County Building—the city has an even better opportunity to signal it’s a place where reform-minded
educators can thrive.
MoreEDITORIAL: Airport executives' travel deserves scrutiny
March 17, 2012

is making the best use of his time.

March 10, 2012
IBJ StaffLike it or not—and most of the time we like it—technology has changed the world we live in.
MoreEDITORIAL: Senate smoking ban bad for business
March 3, 2012
IBJ StaffThe statewide smoking ban approved by the Indiana Senate Feb. 29 was riddled with exemptions, seeming to prove what many people
have already concluded: The majority of our lawmakers aren’t concerned with public health; they care far more about
the right of business owners to operate without government intrusion.
MoreEDITORIAL: Time to put TIFs in the spotlight
February 25, 2012

expansion on the northwest side—wouldn’t happen without the incentives.
MoreEDITORIAL: BioCrossroads an example of vision at work
February 18, 2012

sciences assets to work in a coordinated, strategic way.
MoreEDITORIAL: Time again for Indy ingenuity

power of the federal government.

MoreEDITORIAL: Pass the proposed city smoking ban and be done with it
January 21, 2012

MoreEDITORIAL: Democrats' right-to-work wrangling pointless
January 14, 2012

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!
