In response to Sen. Tom Wyss’s [Dec. 10] letter about marijuana legalization, I am afraid the senator is erroneously
conflating several issues. Marijuana is not related to bath salts or spice. There is also no connection between marijuana

Citizens Energy Group proclaims a vision to “… fulfill the promise of the Trust to serve our customers and communities
with unparalleled excellence and integrity” and a mission to “… maintain the lowest possible rates with
sound financial management.” Yet still they remain neutral on Leucadia National Corp.’s Rockport coal gasification
plant.

I was disappointed that the IBJ didn’t cover the ongoing issue of the proposed Leucadia coal-to-gas plant and
the role that Citizens Energy could play in preventing the construction of this project.

The Indiana Pacers are pleased that the NBA revenue sharing plan reached almost one year ago includes significant changes
to the sharing among all 30 NBA teams. As was pointed out in the Nov. 26 IBJ, the Pacers’ amount will likely
increase, beginning in 2013; however, the increase in 2013 will be dramatically lower than what IBJ reported.

J.K. Wall is to be congratulated on his [Nov. 19] exposure of the true Glenda Ritz. Her quote, “Rewriting that waiver
is my most important mission,” says it all. It is clear she has no interest in continuing to achieve the education improvements
made here under Tony Bennett.

Teachers have the most difficult job in the world. They aren’t paid what they’re worth.” Across Indiana,
these words have become cliché. In their guts, Hoosiers know what data has proven—better pay for teachers translates,
in the long run, to better outcomes for students.

The Bennett/Ritz election was a contest between forward motion and status quo. Daniels and Bennett are pressing the accelerator.
Ritz represents a tactically oriented teacher group and will pump the brakes to slow change initiatives.

It is clear that Richard Mourdock is an astringent to the derriere of Peter Rusthoven [Oct. 29 column]. How else does one
explain why the luminous Lugar acolyte Rusthoven would attack Mourdock for Mourdock’s cumbersome locution for which
he has apologized and clarified?

Bruce Hetrick’s Oct. 22 column “Spouting off about the all-too-common art of spin” begins by offering the
reader his view on how characters in the Broadway play “The Book of Mormon” are adept at spinning falsehoods in
the guise of “helping people.” Hetrick provides spinning of his own, personally reviewing the highly irreverent
play as hilarious, pant-wetting entertainment.
