Letters to the Editor
Kudos for 'off-the-wall' Maurer column
October 3, 2009
I really enjoyed your column “Off-the-wall advice for unemployed.”
MoreMore offbeat advice for job-seekers
October 3, 2009
Mickey Maurer’s article on job openings had some excellent suggestions, but let me add the following:
MoreAre blue laws wrong or are we immoral?
October 3, 2009
When I was a kid growing up in Kentucky, no business was conducted on Sunday at all. On a rare occasion my dad would
load up the car and we would cross the river and shop in Indiana.
MoreSimon embodied customer loyalty
October 3, 2009
I sat in Beth-El Zedeck Temple for the funeral services of Melvin Simon. The various speakers spoke of Mel’s desire
to create a real estate empire and his desire to give back to the community.
MoreHartman story hit close to home
September 26, 2009
I worked with Mike Hartman at Lauth briefly. Your [Sept. 14] story about him is heart-wrenching and hits very close to
home.
MoreNovel partnership promotes peace
September 26, 2009
Through partnership with Indy Parks, Peace Learning Center is making a difference in the lives
of central Indiana youth and families while enhancing Indy Parks’ mission.
MoreSurvey showed need for mass transit
September 26, 2009
Last summer, we said central Indiana was experiencing the perfect storm for mass transit. But this summer, the story was different.
MoreNucor story was fair and balanced
September 26, 2009
We understand that it’s never easy to report on a dispute between two local companies and we appreciate the balanced
way in which you reported the [Sept. 14] Nucor story.
MoreHealth care reform: Prepare for change
September 26, 2009
With the uncertainty surrounding health care reform, only
one thing seems definite: Some level of change is coming. In that light, employers have two options: Fret over the impact
these changes might have on their businesses, or act now, meeting the needs of today while forging a plan for addressing a
changed landscape.
MoreDon't blame insurance for costs
September 19, 2009
I urge you, as comprehensive health care reform is considered before Congress, to realize that the best way to expand
access to health insurance is to work toward containing health care costs.
MoreMarcus misses the point
September 12, 2009
In his Aug. 31 column, Morton Marcus dared to paint those who question the role of government on certain issues as misinformed,
narrow-minded and in constant need of reminding of their “obligations.” How arrogant!
MoreDo word puzzles help the economy?
September 12, 2009
The Indianapolis Business Journal is supposed to keep us informed on the comings and goings of Indiana businesses
and inspire us with great info on how to run ours better.
MoreISO conductor should live here
September 5, 2009
I know that I will not be supporting the [Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra] in any way until they have a conductor
that lives here and is paid a reasonable salary.
MoreWrestling yields long-term benefits
September 5, 2009
As another former high school wrestler from the 1959-1960 season, [Mickey Maurer’s Aug. 24 column] about Cleo Moore
was an opportunity to reflect.
MoreWrestler also excelled at football
September 5, 2009
[Mickey Maurer’s Aug. 24 column] on Cleo Moore caught my attention. I have read his name in the papers many times
and thought it sounded familiar. As I read through your article on Moore, it dawned on me why I recognized his name.
MoreReduce government role in health care
September 5, 2009
Bruce Hetrick’s patronizing and dismissive reference [in his Aug. 24 column] to the idea of death panels (“There
is,
of course, no such clause or intent in any health-reform legislation”) is insulting to any reader who has followed the
debate over health care reform.
MoreInvesting columnist needs new topics
September 5, 2009
It is rather obvious [investment columnist] Keenan Hauke has run out of things to write about. Give the readers a break,
this guy’s views are downright irresponsible.
MoreExperience doesn't mean talent
September 5, 2009
Paul Barada’s argument that teachers with 30 years of teaching
experience making $50,000-plus a year are underpaid is flawed.
MoreHealth care system is a travesty
August 29, 2009
I just want to thank you for [Bruce Hetrick’s] insightful article in the Aug. 10 issue regarding health care reform.
You say it well.
MoreCouncil faced unpleasant choice
August 29, 2009
[In the Aug. 17 editorial] IBJ accuses elected officials of making decisions based on partisanship rather than
good judgment. This superficial pronouncement of the reasons behind Proposal 285’s vote tally lacks thoughtful evaluation
of why councilors cast their votes the way they did at the August 10 council meeting.
MoreShredding paper beats burning it
August 29, 2009
After reading [Tim Altom’s Return on Technology column] in the Aug. 17 IBJ on whether shredding or burning
documents provided the greatest security, I felt compelled to send you a note.
MoreMarcus wrote sanely about 'insane' issue
August 29, 2009
It was good to read Morton Marcus’ [Aug. 17] reasoned and sane synopsis of a subject that has become a lightning
rod: health care “reform.”
MoreMaurer's commentary 'right on track'
August 24, 2009
Medical technology has taken us to
the point where we can sustain life almost indefinitely, but not maintain the quality of that life, nor the dignity of the
person.
MoreMaurer was right: Give people relief
August 24, 2009
It is time for competent Hoosiers suffering at the end of their lives to have access to all modern medicines
for humane relief.
MoreVote against 'cap and trade'
August 24, 2009
I urge Sen. Evan Bayh to vote against the “cap and trade” legislation pending in the Senate.

This is a big help. Thanks for share it here.
Doug Henning!
These guy were thugs — they grew up in freaking Haughville! Smh, sigh. If the mayor needs/wants "quality" Black Hoosiers who are NOT corrupt, give me a call — I know plenty. Land bank info here - http://www.kubepharm.com/indylandbank/IndyLandBank.html
Magician and illusionist!
The basic idea of nice apartments with parking and retail is a good one, but this design seems overwhelmingly big/tall for Broad Ripple. The size could be disguised a bit with lots of big trees/landscaping, but the complex is too massive to blend in easily. That section of canal between College and Westfield will also need to be upgraded on both sides. Nice apartments facing onto a nice promenade with shade trees/plantings could bring together the canal towpath/Monon recreation, the outdoor seating at existing restaurants, and this project into something that upgrades the whole area. A plan for the whole stretch makes more sense than facing nice new housing onto what looks like a ditch. Is there a plan? Does the public have input? Who pays? The apartment idea seems to be reasonable, but Whole Foods is not a good idea for appropriate retail. Besides the store being physically too big, there are already Fresh Market at 54xCollege and Whole Foods in Nora for fancy groceries. Good Earth and Kroger are within walking distance of the Shell site. There are at least 7 grocery stores within a safe bike ride. Whole Foods would add nothing but traffic congestion. This design is on the right track, but there needs to be more work done to ensure that it blends in with and enhances the existing community. A project that large will set a tone for that whole part of town. It could be a real asset, but only if done right.
