Letters to the Editor
Arts is key to education
June 12, 2010
We too often underestimate a young childâ??s ability to be engaged and inspired.
MoreEducation deficit perpetuates itself
June 12, 2010
There are plenty of parents who don’t have a high school diploma, or didn’t attend secondary education, for all
kinds of reasons.
MoreGive 2 hours a week to schoolchildren
June 5, 2010
Mickey Maurer’s article in the May 31 edition re: the need for support and mentoring of kids coming from disadvantaged
backgrounds hit the nail on the head.
MoreBardon was key to new legislation
June 5, 2010
I enjoyed your coverage [in the Mat 24 Banking and Finance Focus] of new Indiana legislation promoting traditional mortgages
and increasing the protection afforded
to deposits of state and local funds.
MoreRace has lost its magic
May 29, 2010
I hope [Bill Benner’s May 17 column is] right and that the new management at the Speedway finds ways to bring back
the “luster” of the old 500s. But it just doesn’t appear that way.
MoreSchool districts take different paths
May 22, 2010
Two Indianapolis-area school districts have taken different routes to dealing with large budget shortfalls in the wake of
significant cuts to state education funding. The results speak volumes about the priorities of their local teachers’
unions.
MoreVeolia never shifted retirement costs
May 15, 2010
Veolia Water Indianapolis takes issue with last week’s (May 10) story on the Department of Waterworks’ (DOW)
rate case, and notes with regret that the reporter neglected to contact us on what is an important public issue.
MoreBait and switch at Biglari Holdings?
May 15, 2010
In light of Biglari Holdings’ recent decision to implement a new incentive bonus agreement for its CEO and chairman,
Sardar Biglari, I am concerned.
MoreNew Interstate 69 shows poor judgment
May 15, 2010
Two of the principal obligations of government are that it should be accountable to its citizens, and that it should operate
at a reasonable level of efficiency.
MoreJA's Miller acted appropriately
May 8, 2010
As the former CEO of Junior Achievement of Central Indiana, as well as the former president of the Experiential Learning and
Entrepreneurship Foundation, Jeffrey M. Miller is concerned with the potential implications of the latest article regarding
JA and ELEF titled “Fate of fund a JA mystery” published in the May 3 IBJ.
MoreCarmel Performing Arts Center not too big to fail
May 8, 2010
Cory Schouten’s [April 26 Focus] article regarding the supposed “momentum” for Carmel’s Performing
Arts Center (PAC) lacked information, and clouded the overall picture.
MoreForget Pacers; focus on city services
May 8, 2010
Basic city
services in Indianapolis are ignored, sold to others or poorly dealt with.
MoreThanks for touting arts subscriptions
May 8, 2010
I think there’s a large portion
of Indianapolis that misses out on the importance of subscription packages and don’t quite understand exactly why they’re
needed to bring bigger and better shows.
MoreSimons already support library
May 1, 2010
In response to IBJ’s April 26 editorial, “Simon could score for city library,” I thought it important
for your readers to know members of the Simon family have a long history of supporting Indianapolis’ public library
system and continue to be regular donors.
MoreDonations to Brizzi were appropriate
May 1, 2010
Over the course of my 41 years as a member of the Indiana Bar, I have worked to help improve the justice system in Marion
County and the state.
MoreLosing Pacers wouldn't help library
May 1, 2010
The truth is all it takes to keep [the Pacers] is paying the expenses of a building we would
have to pay for anyway.
MoreBenner column is a must-read
May 1, 2010
I wanted to let you know that I have really enjoyed reading your articles about Butler, especially the [April 19] “in
another universe” piece. As a Butler alum, I still cannot believe we were in the championship and almost won it.
MoreHealth by Design deserves publicity
May 1, 2010
Thank you for [columnist Tom Harton’s] well-thought-out piece in [the April 26] edition on Health by Design. As Kim
Irwin noted, this coalition is primarily aimed at obesity prevention.
MoreWoman performed work as contractor
May 1, 2010
I read your article on Vida Aventura and Deseri Garcia in the April 12 issue with interest since Garcia once worked for my
company, Team Summit. However, I feel it is important to clarify some of the information contained in the story.
MoreLet Citizens take over sports venues
April 24, 2010
There may be a solution to the Capital Improvement Board’s financial problems, described in [the April 19] IBJ,
that are further complicated by the Pacers wanting to renegotiate their Conseco agreement.
MoreCitizens' takeover of water will be a relief
April 24, 2010
Tom Henderson gets it wrong in his [April 12] view that “Part of the overall utility problem is that lack of government
oversight and public policy vision has made Indianapolis one of the highest-polluting and just plain ugliest cities in the
Midwest.”
MoreColleges should target learning, not time
April 24, 2010
The Morton Marcus [March 29] column on graduation rates hit home. I too do not like credentialism as an excuse to avoid evaluating
performance.
MoreEducational quantity sacrifices quality
April 24, 2010
Morton Marcus is right to question postsecondary completion rates as the litmus test for evidence of learning (in the March
29 issue).
MoreTo grow economy, support small biz
April 24, 2010
Indianapolis, home to a higher convergence of chain restaurants per capita than most any U.S. city (44-percent higher than
the national average), retained its crown last week.
MoreSenator should be strong, not 'moderate'
April 17, 2010
So Mickey Maurer is not enthralled with the Republican field for the U.S. Senate. His answer [in his April 5 column] is some
home-grown “big-leaguer” who is a “moderate.” In other words, another Sen. Lugar. Ho-hum indeed!

Many serial killer types and psychopaths work as lowly bureaucrats, just waiting to impose their wrath on a powerless person, child, or pet. Don't forget, the BTK killer was a dog catcher.
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.
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.
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.
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.
