Letters to the Editor
Patent reform helps small firms
December 3, 2011
Kristin Jones’ Nov. 26 column, “Patent reform is mixed bag for life sciences,” offered views on the impact
of the new patent law, the America Invents Act, on large and small life sciences companies in Indiana.
MoreSmoking column hit the target
December 3, 2011
Thanks so much for Mickey Maurer’s Nov. 28 “Mayor, Read the Smoke Signals” column. I still cannot believe
that Indianapolis and indeed, the entire state can be so backward related to creating a smoke-free environment.
MoreUp adjunct pay, Mr. McRobbie
December 3, 2011
An open letter to Indiana University President Michael McRobbie:
MoreRight-to-work view was appalling
December 3, 2011
It is stunning to read the editorial position [Nov. 28] of the foremost business journal in Indiana that cautions against
“right-to-work” legislation. Perhaps the writer forgets that Indiana has a 9-percent unemployment rate.
MoreKennedy missed mark
December 3, 2011
Sheila Kennedy is off the mark twice in her [Nov. 21] column.
MoreVaughn column was misleading
November 26, 2011
Julia Vaughn, a self-described advocate for “open and honest” government was neither open nor honest in her Nov.
14 Forefront column, “Shine More Light on Duke/IURC Secrets.”
MoreWelcome dreamers with new businesses
November 19, 2011
I view the recent media coverage regarding Litebox’s ambitious plans to locate in Indianapolis as counterproductive
to the reputation our city and state have earned for welcoming business with open arms.
MoreNo NCAA outcry about Penn State?
November 19, 2011
Perhaps it was publishing deadlines that led Bill Benner and the IBJ to miss the local angle to the Penn State scandal.
MoreAlcohol commission went too far
November 19, 2011
Your [Nov. 5] story about the upcoming auction of alcohol permits by the Alcohol & Tobacco Commission failed to tell the
whole story.
MoreFight for schools
November 19, 2011
Mike Hicks tells readers to “vote with their feet” if their local school districts don’t improve in a few
years. From the perspective of true community leadership, this philosophy of action is wrong.
MoreRusthoven adds to political cynicism
November 5, 2011
I was surprised to read Peter Rusthoven’s incendiary [Oct. 31] column accusing Melina Kennedy of making borderline “criminal
accusations” against Mayor Ballard.
MoreAnother window for smoke-free air
October 29, 2011
We’re just days away from the next mayoral election in Indianapolis, and if the stumping at a recent debate holds true,
supporters of smoke-free air may have reason to celebrate sooner rather than later.
MoreKudos for this year's Corporate Challenge
October 27, 2011
Hats off to Indiana Sports Corp. for executing the 2011 Corporate Challenge. This community event brings together Indiana
businesses for two days of friendly competition aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles and office camaraderie.
MoreThe other side of McRobbie's speech
October 22, 2011
Most of Michael McRobbie’s comments in his state of the university message [“Public in name only,” Oct.
15] stem from his unhappiness with two actions of the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, both of which are supported
by the Legislature.
MoreEducation creates improbable allies
October 22, 2011
It’s clear to even the most casual observer that President Obama and Gov. Mitch Daniels don’t agree on much, but
the two leaders have found some common ground over the last three years on an issue that affects every American: public education.
MoreWhy women matter
October 22, 2011
The Mayor’s Office in Indianapolis is not in step with women. Out of 17 top positions, the administration has only one
appointment that is a woman.
MoreBallard has failed transparency test
October 8, 2011
I must express my concern and dismay with Mayor Ballard’s failure to live up to his stated objectives for governing
Indianapolis.
MoreObama's economy is working pretty well
October 8, 2011
Honestly, I tire of millionaires [Oct. 3 Rusthoven Viewpoint] telling the rest of us how we should appreciate the tax breaks
and low rates they pay and how this will benefit society, economy, jobs, etc.
MoreTea Partiers misread
October 8, 2011
Ann DeLaney [letters, Sept. 26] cites a study by university professors to justify her position and that of U.S. Rep. Andre
Carson that the Tea Party is “racist.”
MoreSolar farm is a tax
October 1, 2011
The fundamental economic principle behind this project is outrageous and unjustifiable payments to be made by IPL to the airport
(and by extension, the project developer/operator) under its “Renewable Energy Production” tariff.
MoreInsurance column made good points
October 1, 2011
Anita Woudenberg’s [Sept. 12 Forefront column] made a lot of good points about how Hoosiers can solve our own insurance
problems in a less-expensive manner than that of a federal mandate.
MoreKostas is the real deal
October 1, 2011
I was amused after reading the Sept. 26 letter to the editor from District 4 Republican City-County Councilor Christine Scales.

Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.
Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.
I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.
The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.
I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
