Letters to the Editor
Get behind Ballard's charter school push
June 18, 2011
I support and applaud Mayor Greg Ballard’s actions regarding the city’s incorporation of failing schools.
MoreCommunity lost important builder
June 11, 2011
For nearly two decades, Lloyd Tucker quietly plied his trade as a pioneer in urban redevelopment.
MoreMaurer takes unfair political shots
June 4, 2011
Mickey Maurer’s May 31 commentary was a nice tribute to Gov. [Mitch] Daniels and was a somewhat humorous and tongue-in-cheek
piece, that is, until he decided to take some cheap shots.
MoreIndianapolis libraries need funding
June 4, 2011
On a recent visit to my local library, I couldn’t help but notice the buzz of activity—a mother reading to her
toddler, children and adults taking advantage of computer and Internet access, a middle-aged gentleman working with spread
sheets on his laptop, and a line of people at the main desk waiting to check out items.
MoreIPS is improving
May 28, 2011
There’s been much talk recently about the possibility of mayoral control of Indianapolis Public Schools. Missing in
this debate are the voices of the students and families who actually live within and are served by the school district.
MoreDo these folks file tax returns?
May 28, 2011
Morton Marcus [in his May 23 column] may have omitted some things in analyzing the statement about “half the people”
not paying taxes.
MoreFamilies First helps beat addiction
May 28, 2011
In response to the prescription drug article [in the May 16 Focus section], with the increase in prescription-drug abuse throughout
the state, there are two important things to understand:
MoreSwipe-fee reforms will ensure prosperity
May 28, 2011
Merchants in the Hoosier state have experienced an inordinately swift and severe rise in swipe fees, a charge that card-issuing
banks levy against retailers every time a customer uses a debit card to make a purchase.
MoreIndy 500 needs a dose of speed
May 21, 2011
The fastest Indy 500 was run 21 years ago. Look at the pole sitters’ times, and note how far back you’d have to
go (decades) to have a pole sitter’s time not make today’s field!
MoreGood riddance to abortion funding
May 14, 2011
Congratulations are due Gov. Daniels and the Indiana Legislature for taking action to suspend public dollars to “family
planning” organizations who perpetuate the continuing slaughter of the tiniest, most innocent human beings.
MorePowerful must learn hard lessons
May 14, 2011
In light of our most recent General Assembly, I believe the top 1 percent of Indiana went to bat for the top 1 percent and
then kicked the other 99 percent [who were] fooled into electing them in the teeth.
MoreVouchers muddy church, state
May 7, 2011
In response to the [May 2] editorial “Education bills rise above legislative noise,” I have to agree wholeheartedly
that there is no question that the status quo is not working.
MoreOpen the Circle to food trucks
May 7, 2011
Here’s an opportunity to enliven the city with al fresco dining in a spectacular yet casual party-like atmosphere
amidst the architectural splendor of Monument Circle.
MoreButler was 'inept' and 'unparalleled'
April 30, 2011
Regarding [Bill Benner’s] Butler comments in the April 18 issue, quite possibly the reason Clark Kellogg referred to
the “unparalleled ineptitude” of Butler was, well, because it was both inept and unparalleled.
MoreConsumer cutbacks may cost us
April 30, 2011
I was looking over IBJ today, and I thought to myself, I find all of this depressing, and I was about to set it aside
and take it up again later. Then I came to [Bruce Hetrick’s April 25] article, and I realized there was somebody
with some sanity in this world.
MoreStory's headline fell short
April 23, 2011
I was disappointed to read your misleading headline, “Financial planner slapped with suit” on the front page [April
11].
More'Progressive' ideas don't hold water
April 23, 2011
I read with interest John Guy’s [viewpoint column] titled “Where are the progressives?” (April 11, 2011)
and found his list of antis enlightening.
MoreWhere are stories about Bobby Fong?
April 16, 2011
The individual who seemed to get lost in all the hype leading up to the NCAA men’s national championship basketball
game is Bobby Fong, president of Butler University.
MoreBulldogs made entire city proud
April 16, 2011
Kudos to Bill Benner for his fine [April 4] column about a fine team, the Butler Bulldogs. Despite the outcome, our city has
reason to be proud.
MoreChurch network helps homeless
April 16, 2011
I appreciated your comments in [the April 4] IBJ about the Horizon House and the general efforts of the Coalition
for Homelessness Intervention and Prevention to help the many experiencing homelessness in our community.
MoreLet's find ways to house the homeless
April 16, 2011
I read [Mickey Maurer’s] column in the April 4 issue. There is not one way to describe “the homeless.”
MoreIndianapolis loses a quiet giant
April 16, 2011
Ken Thompson passed away on March 25. Ken was a quiet giant in the real estate development field in Indianapolis, Carmel and
Fishers.
MoreHealth Foundation 'far above average'
April 2, 2011
As a grantee of The Health Foundation of Greater Indianapolis, I read [reporter Kathleen McLaughlin’s March 21] article
with great interest.
MoreDrilling is energy key
April 2, 2011
The [March 28] energy article by [Bruce] Hetrick proposes a Hollywood piece of fiction as a modern-day parable of undeniable
truth.

March 26, 2011
In Wisconsin and Indiana, elected Democrats have fled to Illinois in order to avoid making the difficult decisions facing
their states.

Ameriana Bank took over Westfield Farmers Market for 2013 and it is held in their parking lot, corner of 32 and Carey road, 5 to 8. I am selling soap and candles there. great market!
B&T certainly has enough of our taxpayer dollars to do this thanks to Mayor Ballard. Given the firm's exceedingly poor reputation in the legal community, the basement would seem a better option.
Should read MAY hire 20 people.
Not a good location for a 300,000 home. 10th Street fumes, buses, noise. Max for this location 150,000.
The state constitution also does not say that the majority has a right to quorum, nor that the minority is required to allow them quorum. In fact, denial of quorum has been a parliamentary maneuver since the establishment of the first parliaments in the early 1600s. The right to deny quorum (and the requirement fore quorum) are to prevent exactly what happened in Indiana: A tyrannical majority pushing through odious, objectionable legislation. Denial of quorum is totally legitimate, and lest we forget, a tactic the GOP has employed many, many times to ensure their issues weren't given short shrift. By allowing the majority to impose "fines" on the minority for exercising the authority the constitution grants them (to deny quorum,) they are violating the constitution.
