The Colts are our "heroes," the bedrock of our community (at least for the few months per year that most of them spend here).
Why should these esteemed athletes help the city?

I agree 100 percent that Colts' owner Jim Irsay should step up to the plate to help bail out the Capital Improvement Board
debt and that Colts' ticket holders should be taxed.

[In response to a Jan. 12 story,] it's apparent that Anthem takes full advantage of the virtual monopoly it enjoys in Indiana
and it does so on the backs of not only doctors and hospitals, but most assuredly on its paying customers, as well.

How many of these 1,259 bills were actually heard and voted on on the floor vs how many were shot down in committee?
When a an arrogant young guy with essentially no experience and no qualifications for the job, was dropped into an Administrator position out of nowhere by his "mentor" in the Mayor's office things seemed fishy. Sometimes things are what they seem.
