As a longstanding member of the Indianapolis Bar and reader of IBJ, I was surprised and very disappointed to see
an article appearing in this week’s issue [about Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi] suggesting that a sentence
reduction provided to Guilford Forney was based not solely on the merits.

I was more than a bit taken aback by the lame revenue generation suggestions offered in the lead story of [the March 29]
IBJ (“Airport seeking revenue boost”).

Economist Morton Marcus [on March 29] took issue with the notion that college and university graduation rates can be improved
by tying compensation to increases (or decreases) in institutional graduation rates.

In his [March 29] column, “Set sights on education, not graduation,” Morton Marcus raises a vital point about
Indiana’s higher education reform efforts—but he overlooks a larger one.

Your editorial in the March 29 edition praising State Farm and city leaders for the commitment to the [2012 Super Bowl] housing
“legacy project” was very commendable. But we do have a correction to what you stated about our piece of the project.

My dad took me to Butler Fieldhouse to see
Oscar [Robertson] play for Attucks—against Broad Ripple in the sectionals—and to see Tony’s Bulldogs.

Butler showed the “big boys” what true Indiana basketball is about and that the kids
from the small cities and towns can keep up with the big schools.

I’m disappointed with Hetrick’s misguided interpretation of the First Amendment.

Bruce Hetrick is incorrect in applying Ken Falk’s
logic that you can’t vote to violate someone’s Constitutional rights. Quite the contrary, it happens all of the
time.

I feel it’s necessary to question the fair and balanced
reporting on the part of Cory Schouten in his article, “Brizzi’s lease deals benefited friend, donor,” published
March 15.

This is the wrong time, in my opinion, and I may not have all the facts, to open up Eli Lilly to an outside takeover.

Sometimes we think we’re having a bad day, until we consider the plight of others. I was recently reminded of this
when I came across David Forsell’s article in the March 15 issue.

I am replying to the article in the March 1 IBJ where [Indianapolis Convention and Visitors Association President
Don] Welsh made his nebulous claims that Indy’s weak smoking ban hurts his ability to market the city to visitors and
convention business.

I am a probably [columnist Morton Marcus’] biggest fan in Indiana whom you never have met.

It is unfair to contrast the $1.32 that the townships spend to give away a dollar, with the United
Way spending 16 cents. As I understand it, the townships are giving poor relief directly to individuals and families. United
Way gives their money to agencies.

As the kid said to Shoeless Joe Jackson, “Say it ain’t so, Joe!” But I know it is so since I read Chris
Katterjohn’s [March 1] column stating that he is leaving IBJ.

Each day, it seems, something new is said by the Obama administration on how best to curb greenhouse gases, whether that
be through a harmful “cap and trade” program or, even worse, stifling Environmental Protection Agency regulation.

Every day there are articles in newspapers and magazines and news reports on TV about obesity and what a problem it has become
and what we need to do to overcome it.

The Central Indiana Transit Task Force unveiled a comprehensive plan for mass transit. It’s a combination of expanded
bus service and light rail that addresses the challenges of urban residents seeking job opportunities across the metro areas.

With respect to your editorial in the Feb. 1 issue supporting the Tobacco Prevention and Cessation agency, your intent is
pure and laudable, but I fear you miss the point.

Kudos to Morton Marcus (with tongue in cheek) for pointing out [in his Jan. 25 column] that we should all pay for health care
just as we all pay
for the fire department.

I enjoyed [Mickey Maurer’s Feb. 8 column] on “Avatar”! It was a refreshing counter to the media
(and social) phenomenon swirling around this (in my opinion) banal flick.

[In the Jan. 4 issue], IBJ covered the State Fair board’s decision to permit a digital billboard at the
Fairgrounds on Fall Creek Parkway. One of the opening lines, “Take that, Indianapolis” in the article was apt.

I have learned that the exploration of natural

A little more research on the comparison of housing costs in Indianapolis vs. Needham, Mass., was needed [in the Jan. 25
story on Salvation Army].

See, I told u Indyman and Dipsicle....this 8 days is overkill. It's barely worth a weekend....great job Tony George! Your dream has been fulfilled....he fans want the I r l back. Thats how good it was.....and that sucked.
I have been in training for a short time now but right off I can see that safety and quality are the number one issues, my experience as of late has been a positive one, the employees along with Jeff the plant manager and the operation supervisor as well as the engineers are a highly motivated group of people, what an asset for the area to have and for company's in need of a quality metal products.
Pimlico
While I understand the severity of their actions as well as everyones eagerness to hold them responsible for thier lost funds, these gentlemen did know how to make money. Dispite thier poor decisions over the ownership of Fair they had made several wise investments which paid them greatly. This proves they do have the potential to rebuild so they can repay. I do not feel they should live the life of luxuary but given an opportunity could they find ways of repaying the debts? They are doing nothing now but being a burden on tax payers. Just a thought!!!!!
You guys have some "interesting" comments to say the least. I hope you will call in and share those opinions starting June 1. I'm looking forward to having you on the air.
