LOU'S VIEWS: Say it isn't so, Diane
February 9, 2013
Lou HarryWhen a region stands to lose one of its finest actresses, a critic can't be too proud to beg
MoreDINING: Rude subdued at local Dick's Last Resort
February 9, 2013
Andrea Muirragui DavisThe Indianapolis version of the national chain is lower-key than its counterparts.
MoreBENNER: Pack rat and sports fan is a most dangerous combination
February 9, 2013
Bill BennerThis is about possession obsession. Mine.
MoreBuses, yes, but no rail
February 9, 2013
I support fully the improvement of the bus system in the metro area [Morris column, Jan. 28]. It is a necessity and the responsibility
of government to provide access to those who need this service efficiently and cost effectively.
MoreDon't expand vouchers
February 9, 2013
I say no to expansion of Indiana’s school voucher program, already the most liberal in the nation when it comes to taking
public money and moving it to private—mostly religious—schools. I ask the Legislature, particularly the GOP super-majority,
to do more for the “system of common schools” they promised to support when they swore to uphold Indiana’s
Constitution.
MoreCursive is antiquated
February 9, 2013
In a political climate where jobs is the watchword of every campaign, I am confused and saddened by the state Senate Education
Committee’s 7-4 vote endorsing a bill that would mandate the teaching of cursive writing in elementary school.
MoreEDITORIAL: Legislature isn't in protection game
February 2, 2013
Try as we might, we just don't get it. Oh, we understand why liquor store owners don't want Indiana lawmakers to lift
long-standing restrictions on Sunday alcohol sales. There's little doubt the state's ban on most carryout sales helps
them manage costs and stave off competition from big-box retailers. They admit as much (among other rationale).
MoreMAURER: Deli delight
February 2, 2013
Mickey MaurerI am proud to relate that Pawel Fludzinski, Ph.D. recently published his first crossword puzzle in The New York Times. Pawel
has worked at Eli Lilly and Co. for more than 28 years with the last 20 years being in executive level leadership positions.
He has a Ph.D. in synthetic organic chemistry, but never mind that: He shares with me a love for construction of crossword
puzzles.
MoreRUSTHOVEN: An adult arrives at Purdue
February 2, 2013
Peter J. Rusthoven / Special to IBJWashington Post columnist Michael Gerson recently observed that our “best Democratic politician”
would be sworn in again as president of the United States as our “best Republican politician” was becoming
president of Purdue University.
MoreMAGID: Invest in the ripple effect
February 2, 2013
Julie Manning Magid / Special to IBJCompetitive, growing public companies that develop job opportunities and invest in the needs and resources of our community
have a long-standing ripple effect.
MoreHICKS: You can stop wondering ... the recession is here
February 2, 2013
Mike HicksSometimes the worst part of the economic forecasting I do is the sinking feeling that my predictions will be right.
MoreKIM: Disciplined approach key to '13 investing success
February 2, 2013
Mickey KimInvestors who heeded FDR’s advice—“When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on”—were
amply rewarded for staying the course.
MoreRACE: Our streetcar legacy is high-value neighborhoods
February 2, 2013
Bruce Race / Special to IBJAs late as 1950, Indianapolis’ city limits were served by a system of streetcars and buses that resulted in compact
and socially active neighborhoods.
MoreFEIGENBAUM: Key issues still taking shape in Legislature
February 2, 2013
Ed FeigenbaumLegislative events aren’t proceeding according to a recognizable formula so far, leaving the coming months difficult
to predict.
MoreLOU'S VIEWS: Team playing from ensemble highlights IRT's 'Night Music'
February 2, 2013
Lou HarryOpera star Sylvia McNair offers subtle take on "Send in the Clowns."
MoreDANIELS: Will we protect our kids, or won't we?
February 2, 2013
Deborah DanielsAs a society, we do everything we can to protect our children from harm and prepare them to live productive and successful
lives.
MoreBen Davis university models possibilities
February 2, 2013
Thank you for the comprehensive [Jan. 14] story on the accomplishments of the students of Ben Davis University High School.
MoreSHEPARD: 'Cost of justice' matters to the economy
February 2, 2013
Randall Shepard / Special to IBJNational headlines recently reminded us of the benefits Indiana reaps for its economy by thoughtful attention to our system
of justice.
MoreRusthoven was bigoted
February 2, 2013
Far from credible criticism of “the liberal media double standard,” I interpreted Peter Rusthoven’s [Jan.
21] opinion piece “Double Standards on Israel” as an exercise in the expression of bias and bigotry.
MoreSTYRING: This carrot might leave a bitter taste
February 2, 2013
Bill Styring / Special to IBJSome time before April 15, the Legislature must decide whether to accept a deal from the federal government to expand Medicaid
coverage. It’s shaping up as one of two or three major calls our lawmakers must make.
MoreCut some freshman sports
February 2, 2013
I am in total agreement with Benner’s [Jan. 7] suggestion of making incoming college freshmen ineligible for varsity
sports.
MoreVAUGHN: Action will make IEDC talk believable
February 2, 2013
Julia Vaughn / Special to IBJWhen I first met Mike Pence back in the mid-1990s, he was working as a radio and TV talk show host in Indianapolis. I was
a guest on his public affairs program many times and came to know the future governor as an affable and evenhanded host who
made room for all points of view while clearly stating his own.
MoreMYERS: Hoosiers still know how to cooperate
February 2, 2013
Woodrow Myers / Special to IBJThey say bipartisanship is dead in Washington, D.C. They say a Democrat won’t buy a Republican a beer and a Republican
won’t share a glass of Chardonnay with a Democrat.
MoreMACALLISTER: Early CIB is model for civil discourse
February 2, 2013
The element of controversy that clogs political debate, embitters theologians and fosters ethnic bitterness is surely as familiar
to us as Cain and Abel. King Solomon in 950 B.C. acknowledged its damage—and its danger—when he pleaded with his
subjects, “Come then, let us reason together” (though, like many “well-meaners,” he was better in
advising than complying).
MoreBECK: Let's talk reasonably about guns
February 2, 2013
Lara Beck / Special to IBJI didn’t want to write about guns. The subject is fraught with complications. If I thought the political commentary
on Facebook was extreme during the election, it became downright ludicrous following the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary
School.

B&T certainly has enough of our taxpayer dollars to do this thanks to Mayor Ballard. Given the firm's exceedingly poor reputation in the legal community, the basement would seem a better option.
Should read MAY hire 20 people.
Not a good location for a 300,000 home. 10th Street fumes, buses, noise. Max for this location 150,000.
The state constitution also does not say that the majority has a right to quorum, nor that the minority is required to allow them quorum. In fact, denial of quorum has been a parliamentary maneuver since the establishment of the first parliaments in the early 1600s. The right to deny quorum (and the requirement fore quorum) are to prevent exactly what happened in Indiana: A tyrannical majority pushing through odious, objectionable legislation. Denial of quorum is totally legitimate, and lest we forget, a tactic the GOP has employed many, many times to ensure their issues weren't given short shrift. By allowing the majority to impose "fines" on the minority for exercising the authority the constitution grants them (to deny quorum,) they are violating the constitution.
