FEIGENBAUM: Legislature heads toward bumpy conclusion
March 13, 2010
Ed FeigenbaumOK, I admit that I’m still wincing about last week’s column about a peaceful, easy feeling in the General Assembly
as it approached the leadership-targeted early-adjournment date.
MoreMARCUS: It's not too late for a high-speed stimulus
March 13, 2010
Morton Marcus“Too little, too late” is the standard objection to the economic stimulus program now in effect. That criticism
is based on opinion, not fact. It will take several years to know whether the stimulus (or stimuli, because there was more
than a single stimulus) worked.
MoreFORSELL: Look beyond results for reciprocity in health care
March 13, 2010
David ForsellI want to matter to the nurse standing next to me. I want to be more than a number, more than just a name on a list of hundreds
of patients on a research protocol.
MoreHICKS: Recession slows with costly job creation
March 13, 2010
Mike HicksWhile economists share broad agreement on a surprisingly large number of issues, the most visible discord lies in how two
groups view the causes of recession.
MoreBars should cater to smokers, too
March 13, 2010
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.
MorePraise for Marcus
March 13, 2010
I am a probably [columnist Morton Marcus’] biggest fan in Indiana whom you never have met.
MoreEDITORIAL: Run for president, Gov. Daniels
March 6, 2010
IBJ StaffGov. Mitch Daniels should step through the door he cracked open last month and throw
his hat in the ring. Voters would benefit from a new voice.
MoreMAURER: WellPoint's Braly bravely takes on fuss
March 6, 2010
Mickey MaurerWellpoint CEO Angela Braly was criticized by President Obama on national television. She incurred the wrath of health insurance
policyholders in California and Indiana. She reignited debate on the moribund national health care reform bill. A woman hasn’t
caused this much turmoil since all those ships were launched by Helen of Troy.
MoreDINING: With a bit of pluck, wing chain takes first Indy outpost
March 6, 2010
Lou HarrySecond in our month-long series of reviews of animal-named eateries. This week: Buffalo Wings and Rings.
MoreLOU'S VIEWS: Bill T. Jones' company dances through history at IU
March 6, 2010
Lou HarryA few weeks back, I wrote about the two collections of Abraham Lincoln memorabilia on display at the Indiana
State Museum. Over the past week, two additional encounters with Abe reminded me that there is no shortage of material to
be mined from
the life of the 16th president.
MoreHETRICK: Like natural disasters, aftershocks of grief linger
March 6, 2010
Bruce HetrickFive years ago this week, I took figurative bullets to the head and heart. My personal Richter scale was shaken more violently
than by any tremor ever measured on any anthill, or Port-au-Prince or Concepción.
MoreBENNER: Erskine shows us why he's a Hoosier gem -- twice
March 6, 2010
Bill BennerCarl Erskine isn't just from Anderson, Indiana. He is Anderson, Indiana.
MoreMARCUS: Hoosiers hear gospel of gambling
March 6, 2010
Morton MarcusGamblers wagered nearly $30 billion in 13 Indiana
casinos last year. Now, fellow taxpayers, if I understand these numbers, 91 percent of these dollars were returned as winnings
and an additional $876 million (3 percent) went to our state and local
governments for our benefit.
MoreSHOBERT: Who's your in-house entrepreneur?
March 6, 2010
Benjamin A. ShobertTimes like this are ripe for pioneering activities. Now that your business knows it can operate profitably even in a down
economy—no small thing—the next question is what you need to be doing to grow.
MoreFEIGENBAUM: Session heads toward early, quiet completion
March 6, 2010
Ed FeigenbaumThe buzz as the days ran out suggested that nothing on the agenda was “must-pass” legislation, leaving Democrats
and Republicans, the House and the Senate, and the governor and the General Assembly with little leverage to exert.
MoreSKARBECK: Financial reform should start with derivatives
March 6, 2010
Ken SkarbeckAt the very least, regulators need to get control of derivative trading—transactions need to be more transparent and
carried
out on an exchange.
MoreHICKS: Courage will be necessary to curb inflation
March 6, 2010
Mike HicksInflation causes lenders to raise interest rates. Businesses slow their borrowing, produce less and require fewer workers.
Within a year or so, inflation becomes everyoneâ??s problem.
MoreUnited Way contrast didn't work
March 6, 2010
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.
MoreKatterjohn will be missed
March 6, 2010
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.
MoreUncertain tax climate could hurt business
March 6, 2010
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.
MoreKATTERJOHN: Closing the book on 30 years
February 27, 2010
Chris KatterjohnIt’s a tall order to write a farewell column after 30 years.
MoreEDITORIAL: White Lodging delivers a winner for Indianapolis tourism
February 27, 2010
IBJ StaffHindsight is always 20/20, but in the case of the Marriott Place hotel complex, foresight was just as clear.
MoreSURF THIS: Think your family is awkward? Check this out.
February 27, 2010
Jim CotaSharing this guilty pleasure makes me feel a little … well, grimy.
MoreALTOM: U.S. slow to get on broadband bandwagon
February 27, 2010
Tim AltomThe country’s old, tired cabling was never designed for such high-transmission speeds.
MoreHICKS: Cash-strapped cities paying for prior choices
February 27, 2010
Mike HicksWe are making budget cuts today that could well have been slowly phased-in for a generation. What are the implications?

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.
For those who let this information strike a nerve, remember that this is still the America that allows the freedom to achieve dreams and goals. Should you really chastise those who are given a perk on a deal that is supported by the consumer (that is until they don't like the deal anymore due to envy) or should the dream of rewards for working be looked at a little closer? I say lets stick to the deal, go to work,earn our keep, shoot for dreams, change our jobs to have that dream or shut up about others achievements ..............while we are still afforded this liberty of America !
Three Magi
Cats out of the bag. The object of the game is to get acquired. That means the company has no idea how to grow beyond a certain point. Email is a 1990s technology. I have laughed at this company since day one. Such a small bit player. If it was anywhere but here, it wouldn't be newsworthy.
Esther, Indy has passed Chicago in the local government corruption arena. Don't downgrade us. We're No. 1 in the Midwest.
