Letters to the Editor
Another CDC fan
September 8, 2012
Thank you for running the [Sept. 3 Forefront] remarks from Sam Odle about the important role that community development corporations
play in tackling the challenge of rebuilding our neighborhoods.
MoreToo many TIFs
September 8, 2012
“Carl” [Aug. 20 Taft column] most likely would have taken the job in another factory at lower wages and taken
night classes to train for a better job. He needs the income to support his family.
MoreKeep elections clean
September 8, 2012
Bruce Hetrick [Aug. 27 IBJ] thinks Republicans are trying to suppress votes of Democrats.
MoreInformed beats hype
September 6, 2012
In the same [Aug. 27 Hetrick column] that tells the reader how “…citizens of third-world countries line up for
miles, hours and even days to cast ballots…” he also tells the reader that votes in the United States are being
suppressed because we close the polls at 6:00?
MoreNew leadership must tackle debt
September 1, 2012
The most important issue in this election year is our massive debt and its effect on jobs and the economy.
MoreCorrecting Kahlo
August 25, 2012
After reading Chris O’Malley’s [Aug. 13] article “More trees to get the ax along Central Canal,” I
wondered what compelled him to include such a liberal amount of speculations of local antagonist Clarke Kahlo when so many
credible sources are available for comment.
MoreCut Pacers subsidies
August 25, 2012
Bill Herrick’s op-ed “Run government like a business” [Aug. 20] called for government to take a less-active
role in the affairs of business and to run itself like a business. I couldn’t agree more.
MoreA better sun?
August 18, 2012
In the [July 30] “On the Record” section, there was a story about Indianapolis Power & Light Co. awarding
a 15-year contract to buy 30 megawatts of solar power from Sunrise Energy Ventures.
MoreSome food trucks are nuisances
August 18, 2012
The [Aug. 13] story about food trucks was interesting, noting that Barnes & Thornburg attorney Crystal Williams stated
food trucks must comply with local regulations.
MoreVague language in institutional investing
August 18, 2012
Kathleen McLaughlin’s [July 28] story about state fund investing reminded of a problem in institutional investing today:
vague and imprecise language.
MoreBenner again misses mark
August 11, 2012
Once again, Bill Benner [July 30] misses a key point in the NCAA’s handling of Penn State when he applauds the NCAA’s
“courage and swift response” in his hypothetical reaction to it being his son subjected to sodomy in the Penn
State locker room showers.
MoreLocal legislators should lead on transit
August 4, 2012
A vibrant mass transit system is an essential next step to encourage economic development, improve quality of life and make
Indianapolis more inviting.
MoreDesign is critical
August 4, 2012
Even something as mundane as a parking garage can make a first impression to a visitor.
MoreNCAA hit innocents
August 4, 2012
The NCAA president and executive board overstepped their authority by imposing very harsh penalties on the Penn State football
program and by extension on the entire university.
More'Pocket guide' was spin
July 28, 2012
Rather than a pocket guide to the Supreme Court ruling (it did accomplish that, sort of) [Rusthoven, July 9], this is a pocket
guide to the laboriously crafted Republican response to the Supreme Court ruling on the Affordable Care Act.
MoreKennedy wrong on Sharia
July 28, 2012
Sheila Kennedy [July 16] discusses the Islam of her imagination, the Islam of every progressive’s dreams, Islam without
several of its crucial features and articles of belief—holy war, martyrdom and the treatment of non-believers.
MoreKennedy misunderstands Sharia law
July 28, 2012
Sheila Suess Kennedy’s July 16 op-ed “This time, Sharia law misunderstood” contains numerous misconceptions
and errors about the legislation she purports to address, American Laws for American Courts (ALAC). Space permits me to address
only three.
MoreUnleash Indy 500 cars
July 28, 2012
Great [July 9 Styring column] on the Speedway. I hope those in control of that magnificent and historic venue take those thoughts
to mind. He who builds the fastest car wins. Let them build the fastest car.
MoreJobs critical for ex-cons
July 28, 2012
We applaud the IBJ and Kathleen McLaughlin for the July 9 cover story, “Should Indy ban ‘the box’?”
MoreCross leaves legacy
July 28, 2012
On behalf of the Fairbanks Hospital board of directors, I want to commend IBJ for its July 9 article about Helene
Cross and her remarkable leadership as president and CEO of Fairbanks.
MoreDomestic partner benefits unwise use of tax dollars
July 21, 2012
After listening to the testimony during the June 5 City-County Council committee meeting, and speaking with both supporters
and opponents of the proposed domestic partner benefits, I noticed a common theme of “this will make Indianapolis more
competitive.” This is untrue.
MoreLaikin blazed trail
July 14, 2012
I cut my teeth after college in the early years at BrightPoint working for Bob Laikin's enterprise.
MoreJefferson, conservatism don't always mix well
July 14, 2012
One should generally be skeptical of conservatives quoting Thomas Jefferson in aid of their positions.
MoreParking enforcement overstated
July 7, 2012
Sensors in Indianapolis do not alert an enforcement officer when time on a meter has expired.
MoreRenewing democracy
July 7, 2012
I was heartened to see John Mutz’s [June 16 Forefront column] about Parker Palmer’s newest book, “Healing
the Heart of Democracy: The Courage to Create a Politics Worthy of the Human Spirit.”

Irvington is up and coming much like Fountain Square. We would love to have something like this in our neighborhood!
Why do we care who has submitted proposals if we can't review the proposals? It's publicly owned land, but the public has zero say in what gets chosen to be built there. Yep, that sounds about right.
Perhaps May 21 is "Evangelical Day" over at the IBJ?
I don't know what's more depressing: that this passes for a defensible elective in a publicly funded SCIENCE class, or that more than half of the posters here are defending this charlatan. Intelligent design is creationism. Creationism is religion. Yes, we have freedom of religion, which deserves to be protected. Now someone kindly show Professor Hedin his freedom by escorting him over to the Religion department at BSU. Carry on.
I hope people realize that the 'vocal' opposition at the meeting represent the minority of people against this project. As with any controversial project - those who don't want it are the loudest, while those who like it or really don't care one way or the other don't come to such meetings. Unfortunately the same may be true of the survey now being offered by the BRVA. I live less than a 5 minute walk from BR Avenue and can tell you that I and most of my neighbors are support this exciting project, or are ambivalent. And how great that it includes quality apartments - something that BR sorely lacks. This is a first class opportunity that we should embrace (and no, I'm not with the BRVA or the developer.) As for the fellow who owns the Good Earth store, if he doesn't want competition then let him pull together his own investors and out bid Whole Foods to operate the proposed grocery component! Come on folks - let's move ahead.
