Letters to the Editor
Editorial unfairly portrayed schools
November 21, 2009
[The Nov. 9 editorial] was the most offensive, mean-spirited, inaccurate and biased piece of muckraking I’ve seen in
20 years as an IBJ reader.
MoreYou can have fun in smoke-filled bar
November 21, 2009
I’ve reached the zenith of my life—the esteemed publisher of IBJ has labeled me “clueless”
[in his Nov. 9 column].
MoreCourtrooms indeed inspire awe
November 21, 2009
I enjoyed [Mickey Maurer’s Nov. 17] column. As an undergraduate student at IUPUI, working full-time and going to
school full-time, I visited the moot court room at the old law school building on New York Street from time to time for inspiration
and to remind myself of the goal.
MoreIt's time to step up
November 21, 2009
Tough times are real
and challenging to navigate. But, if we are honest, we have to admit that those of us fortunate to have jobs have an advantage
in tough times.
MorePatachou should respect community
November 21, 2009
At 49th and Pennsylvania, Café Patachou seeks to expand, open a new pizzeria, and use much of the public sidewalk
for proposed outside seating.
MoreColumn on airport got it wrong
November 14, 2009
In its Nov. 2 issue, IBJ published a Bloomington reader’s Viewpoint regarding the new terminal at Indianapolis
International Airport. It was both uninformed and misleading.
MoreDurham's woes resemble Firstmark's
November 7, 2009
The financial legerdemain surrounding Tim Durham and his ownership of Fair Finance [described in an Oct. 26 story] brings
back memories.
MoreLet's focus on medical errors
November 7, 2009
Debra Smith’s column in your Oct. 19 [Focus section] needs some clarification and correction.
MoreHealth care reform should slow down
November 7, 2009
I am writing because I have closely
followed the debate on health care reform and am questioning some of the decisions being made by our legislators in Congress.
MoreHave you hired a veteran today?
November 7, 2009
With Veterans Day upon us, we are reminded to thank a veteran for his or her service and to honor the memories of those
who fought for our country and did not come home. But in the business community, we can do more than that, all year long,
by bringing veterans into our organizations.
MoreSallie Mae jobs are in jeopardy
November 7, 2009
There are 2,300 hard-working and well-paid professionals here in Indiana whose
jobs are hanging in the balance while Congress debates a bill (H.R. 3221) that would eliminate the private student loan industry
as we know it.
MoreVote no on Wishard
October 31, 2009
“Get out and Vote (no) for Wishard” should have been [Chris Katterjohn’s Oct. 26 column] for two simple
reasons:
MoreLet's add math to driver's test
October 31, 2009
Mitch Roob has it exactly right in his [Oct. 12] viewpoint “Math proficiency a must for workplace.”
MoreBundle medicine with care
October 31, 2009
I would like to thank IBJ for highlighting the role of interdisciplinary (“bundled”) medicine in the
Oct. 19 article, “Huddling on Health Care.”
MoreHere's another Hoosier hero
October 31, 2009
[In response to Mickey Maurer’s Oct. 19 column asking for Hoosier heroes] Jimmy O’Donnell, survivor, U.S.S.
Indianapolis. He is approaching 90 years old.
MoreAbandoned houses should be torn down
October 24, 2009
[In response to the Oct. 19 viewpoint] Some of [Kurt] Wiegand’s points were spot-on, but his analysis of the economic
impact regarding Mayor Ballard’s plan to demolish abandoned homes misses the mark by a wide margin.
MoreLegislator promotes fair redistricting
October 10, 2009
Sometimes I agree with Morton Marcus’ opinions and sometimes I don’t, but I was incredulous when I read his
“Let’s help keep legislators in check” in the [Sept. 28] IBJ.
MoreChicago Olympics? What a joke
October 10, 2009
I can appreciate, but heartily disagree, with the arguments [Bill Benner] advanced [in his Oct. 5 column] that Chicago
getting the 2012 Olympics would have benefited Indianapolis.
MoreThis is time to step up at work, not back off
October 10, 2009
I read the [Sept. 21 viewpoint] “Learn to say no at work” with disbelief that this is among the best advice
that can be given, when companies are now being required to do more with less.
MoreForget visiting the Berry Bowl
October 10, 2009
[In response to Bill Benner’s Oct. 5 column] You can cross off your list watching basketball at the Berry Bowl. A new
school was built in Logansport in the early ’70s
and the old school, including the wonderful Berry Bowl, was torn down.
MoreHere's how to help future work force
October 10, 2009
I encourage businesspeople—well,
everyone, really—to volunteer in and visit our schools, if for no other reason than to expose kids to the professional
world and let the kids see that the professional world cares.
MoreHotel water plan is wasteful
October 3, 2009
I would like to take exception to the topic and the quote in [Scott] Olson’s article in the Sept. 21 IBJ regarding
the de-watering system planned for the new Marriott Hotel.
MoreRights don't come from government
October 3, 2009
Bruce Hetrick is wrong in asserting that “We pray and protest under the protection of government” and that
“We … freely publish columns … because of government.” His assertions reveal the progressive mind-set
and belief that we receive our rights from government, and thus man
MoreGovernment does deserve some credit
October 3, 2009
Kudos to Bruce Hetrick’s comments in the [Sept. 28] edition. It shows rational thinking instead of fear mongering.
MoreMaurer column hit the mark
October 3, 2009
[Mickey Maurer’s Sept. 21] column was right on! Totally to the point and about time someone stated the obvious. When
will this country begin once again to make people pay for their crime(s)?

First, let me say that I love the idea of communities being self-sufficient and people in the community not needing cars, living, working and shopping all in their neighborhood. To sum it up; I love good urban planning and hate urban sprawl. However, there are two reasons that I am against this development. First, this building doesn't fit. Density can occur in Ripple by building up top the street and better use of land. The scale of this project should be downtown. Secondly, I would be willing to bet that if a whole foods in Ripple is built, the Nora store would be closed. Here's my reasoning. The Nora Whole Foods expansion plans have been put on hold. I'm guessing they are waiting to see what happens with the Ripple proposal. Communities next to each other should work together to end sprawl and not work against each other and take other neighbors assets. Develop something both communities can be proud of and will attract more development and density. There's my soap box for the day.
My apologies, Lou - it was the Indy Star that printed cost for entertaining "celebrities" during Indy 500. Sorry for confusing the always timely IBJ with Indy's Gannett reprint news source.
That's fine if you want a grocery store that has festivals and live music. I guess with the prices they charge, they can afford to host such activities. As for me, I choose to spend my money more wisely and if I want to go to a festival or a concert, I will pay for that separately - not through my grocery bill.
TIF is not just to attract development but to attract a higher use for that development. Carmel wisely is using TIF for numerous public parking garages. Asphalt seas of parking pay little taxes and bring even less value to a commercial area. Also density is what is going to save Indy and Broad Ripple. The days of trying to compete with burbs are long gone.
The Prestige was an awesome movie.
