Letters to the Editor
Toll road was good deal for state
August 17, 2009
I cannot help but agree with the author’s assessment:
the state of Indiana got a pretty good deal on the lease-sales agreement.
MoreIndiana is lucky to have toll lease
August 17, 2009
The facts are that toll increases are strictly limited
in the contract and cars using electronic tolling have had no increase and are still paying the $4.65 toll rate set in
1985, one of the lowest per-mile tolls in the nation.
MoreHigher-ed chief Lubbers is up to task
August 17, 2009
In her short tenure thus far as commissioner, she has already helped me personally with an issue I was experiencing as a law
student.
MoreSusan Bayh has major conflicts
August 10, 2009
Your editorial last week on Susan Bayh’s memberships on health care company boards was remarkably restrained. There
are SCREAMING conflicts.
MoreNeighbor input needed in revitalization efforts
August 10, 2009
Local Initiatives Support Corp. wanted to take a moment to second the ideas expressed last week
in AIA Indianapolis President Sanford Garner’s Viewpoint column. Garner expressed concern that current residents
benefit from revitalization and pointed out the importance of community dialogue as part of the process.
MoreOfficials should redevelop prison property
August 3, 2009
After outcry from the community, the plan to turn the current Women’s Prison on the near east side into a work release
facility for male prisoners was modified to make it barely palatable. However, there’s a larger point that shouldn’t
be overlooked.
MoreEnergy act will hurt Indiana's economy
August 3, 2009
A deeply concerning piece of legislation has just recently slipped through the [U.S.] House of Representatives. Although
the American Clean Energy and Security Act has an appealing name and is created to improve our environment, in actuality,
its passing through the Senate will cause dire problems for Hoosiers.
MoreIndianapolis Public Schools needs more than it gets
July 27, 2009
This year will be our 18th year as IPS parents. My husband and I are college graduates, upper-middle
class. He is employed full time and I’m self-employed part-time. We chose to stay in IPS
and try to make a difference for the many classmates that have no one rooting for them at home.
MoreBenner column provides hope
July 27, 2009
Thanks for writing such a wonderful column, full of hope and encouragement to those of us who could use
a little of that right now.
MoreFedEx must maintain flexibility
July 20, 2009
Like many businesses and local commerce, the FedEx Express hub at Indianapolis International Airport is trying to thrive
during a decline in shipping and an increase in fuel prices.
MoreIPS was winner in state budget
July 20, 2009
IBJ is completely off base to suggest that the new state budget was “balanced on the backs of poor children.”
As has been true of every state budget for the last two decades, students in Indianapolis Public Schools and other urban districts
are actually the biggest winners in this budget.
MoreArea cities have curb appeal
July 20, 2009
I agree with [Morton Marcus’ June 15 column] on urban entryways. I just wanted to point out that two of our
small towns in Indianapolis have done a good job of making entryways into their community attractive.
MoreStopping nukes should be priority
July 20, 2009
Uniting the Arab world toward accepting
Israel is very important, but stopping Iran from developing nuclear capability must be top priority for all our world.
MoreBrebeuf makes green strides
July 20, 2009
In 2007, Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory
School was named the first Green Flag School in Indiana as part of a national environmental awards program
that creates safer and healthier school environments through investigation, education, innovation and action.
MoreBowling centers limit smoking voluntarily
July 13, 2009
In 2006 the Indianapolis member centers of the Central Indiana Bowling Centers Association Inc. went
smoke-free voluntarily everywhere in their centers, except the bar.
MoreHealth reform stories should include private-practice docs
July 13, 2009
I read with interest IBJ’s [June 29 story] focusing on health care reform. I was not surprised by the exclusion
of opinions from “real” private-practice physicians.
MoreLiberal journalism strikes again
July 13, 2009
What a disappointing [July 6 column by Chris Katterjohn]. You, like your other liberal, left-wing journalist pals, just
cannot stand it when anyone disagrees with your point of view.
MoreWhy don't Bush bashers disgust you?
July 13, 2009
Bashing the president is a time-honored tradition in the United States going all the way back to George
Washington himself and honed to a fine point by the Jefferson/Adams exchanges.
MoreIndy Racing League must go international to survive
July 13, 2009
Like it or not, the Indy Racing League is becoming an international series, with American drivers like
Patrick, Andretti and Rahal and internationally known drivers such as Castroneves, Kanaan, Mutoh and
Meira.
MoreWellPoint salaries are ill-gotten
July 6, 2009
I own and manage a small business. WellPoint is our health insurance carrier. I have an employee, makes good money. He is
in excellent health but he is diabetic. WellPoint won't insure him!
MoreGlobal citizenship is our reality
July 6, 2009
[In his June 22 column, Bruce Hetrick asked,] "Is global citizenship 'intellectual nonsense and stunningly dangerous?'"
This question, reflective of Newt Gingrich's recent statement declaring himself not "a citizen of
the world" elicited personal incredulousness.
MoreLevengood deserves our thanks
June 15, 2009
Barney Levengood has had a tough job and deserves our thanks.
MoreWill our kids know how to enjoy quiet?
June 8, 2009
The ability to enjoy silence, to be comfortable in it, to strip away all the noise and distractions is becoming somewhat of
an art form.
MoreLet stadium users foot the bill
June 8, 2009
Let stadium users and sports teams pay for luxurious stadiums, not alcohol users.
MoreA bit of Lauth history
June 1, 2009
Regarding the May 25 story, ["Lauth granted reprieve,"] please note that Lauth Property Group is an offshoot of the original
company founded by myself and Terry Eaton in 1976. It was then known as Ernst/Eaton Associates.

Who makes Tater Tots? They would be a good sponsor, because $3 Million for the alleged "Greatest Spectacle In Racing" is taters. Tiny, tiny taters. But at least they are making up something of the losses accumulated over the years in this dying sport. Buttock in seat is certainly not doing it, nor eyeball on TV, as evidenced by the lack of both.
We loved lakehouse and think the Arbor Village would be a great location. It is less than 2 miles from over 1000 rooftops in the 225,000 to over 1 million range. Many people could use the great fishers trail system to bike or walk there. Just an idea Scotty -- but maybe something closer to 3 Wiseman would good. The only microbrew in area is Ram (boring)
True, it's an ESPN production, but ESPN is just another name for ABC Sports, or what used to be ABC Sports since ABC Sports no longer exists as a name. ESPN=ABC Sports= ESPN. ESPN is, according to Forbes "the world's most valuable media property" worth $40 billion. Despite that, they fired 400 people this week.
The Prestige was a great flick.
Larry - even though the race is on ABC, ESPN does all of the work, so that is why ESPN is mentioned. Most sports on ABC are called something like "ESPN on ABC."
