Move Black Expo to fairgrounds

July 31, 2010
As a downtown resident of over 30 years I feel that it is a privilege to use the facilities that we as a city have created downtown. Black Expo has violated that privilege.

Poverty doesn't explain shooting

Fieldhouse could have life without Pacers

July 24, 2010
The IBJ and others keep repeating that, should the Pacers leave, the city would be stuck with paying $14 [million]-$18 million a year in fieldhouse operating costs. Are you all assuming the facility will sit vacant? Come on.

Keep government hands off of Internet

July 24, 2010
Tim Altom, in his July 19 column, replays the tired populist argument in favor of Net Neutrality, while furthering the myth that government regulation magically makes things “fair.”

It takes time to appreciate soccer

July 17, 2010
I decided to read [Bill Benner's June 28 column]—see, whenever there is soccer involved, my blood runs faster, my pulse gallops and my mind expands beyond reality.
More

July 17, 2010
Good [column by Mickey Maurer in the July 12 issue]. I agree with you that the right people make all the difference in the world.
More

Crisis advice was dead-on

July 17, 2010
I want to thank you for your crisis tips in [Bruce Hetrick’s June 28 column]. You not only provided thoughtful commentary, you helped me win an argument with the hubby.

More

Avoiding fraud easier than recovery

July 3, 2010
We want to emphasize ways that investors can avoid fraudulent schemes, as the opportunity for restitution rarely compensates investors for their losses.
More

World Cup nations were confused

July 3, 2010
Bill Benner' sopinion lost all credibility for me in the end, though, because he obviously didn’t do his homework.

Utility user fees to be diverted

A [wrong] is being perpetrated on the citizens of Indianapolis by our city-county councilors, Mayor Greg Ballard and the board of Citizens Energy, by negotiating a “sale” of the water company to Citizens.
More

Indiana municipal bonds are faring well

June 26, 2010
The “Investing” column of June 14, “Municipal bond defaults might be next crisis,” raises some valid points, but portrays municipal bonds in such a manner that is too general.
More

Health care column got it wrong

June 19, 2010
As a practicing physician, I was disappointed by [Morton Marcus’] support of the recently passed health care legislation [in his May 31 column].
More

Environmentalists contributed to spill

June 19, 2010
[In response to Bruce Hetrick’s June 14 column] Those that are calling for more government involvement in response to the BP oil spill are not those who typically call for “less government.
More

City 'investments' often no such thing

June 19, 2010
Even if the new system does slow down property tax increases, actually capping one source of revenue will never solve taxpayer problems.
More

Pre-race ceremony didn't measure up

June 19, 2010
Good [Bill Benner column on June 7] on the recap of the 500. One area that I disagree with you was your praise for the pre-race ceremony. It was plain awful this year.
More

  1. If a television station wants to improve viewership, get rid of the local blackout. I was born by the brickyard, and have attended 15 or more races. I have children now, I won't attend unless circumstances are perfect. As those with growing families know, they never are. I'm always impressed that upwards of 250,000 people attend the 500. However, as a growing, or, more apt, sprawling city, Indianapolis and its immediate suburbs count almost 2.2 million. Show the race live, let the venue get a kick-back on revenues, and open-wheel racing might have a fighting chance to be relevant again. Just in time for those tax-payer lights to make sense.

  2. John Moore, I too have had the same issue recently. A property next to my house was on the Land Bank and I was interested in purchasing. When I tried to contact Reggie, I got back emails that had nothing to do with what I asked about. Actually my latest response from him was on this past Friday. I had asked about how to buy the property and if it was still available. His response to me was to contact the mayor's office to get the schedule of his appearances. (???) Hopefully the city is able to do something to fix what this guy has done, it would be nice if they would take the properties back and sell them properly so land owners like me and you mother would have a fair chance.

  3. I too work in the industry, with over 25 years of experience and your political spin has probably nothing to do with any rebranding. "Let's dress it up" would have nothing to do with the government "telling us how and what to eat." Give it a political rest. And being a producer for a radio show doesn't mean you've been involved in advertising and branding for 30 years.

  4. Ms. Morris did not understand the ways of the business world, otherwise, like the IMS, she could have petitioned the State Legislature for a handout of State Funds for her charity work. Ms. Morris should consider becoming a state lobbyist for Lemonade Stand Operators.

  5. David Copperfield!
