Bill BennerIt seems like just yesterday that Matt Painter was playing for Purdue University basketball. Now he’s the Boilers’
coach, and he has emerged from
the long shadow of his mentor and predecessor, Gene Keady.

Mike HicksAt a time when we are desperate for science and math teachers, and when several big firms are laying off scientists, we should
be jumping at the chance to get them into the classroom.

Ken SkarbeckMaking investment decisions based on where a stock price has been in the past or betting on where it may go in the future
is futile and foolish unless the investor has determined the value of the stock.

Local advocates of high-speed rail are understandably disappointed that the Indiana Department of Transportation has dropped

Sorry my friends, in real life the facts tend to lead otherwise.

In its Nov. 2 issue, IBJ published a Bloomington reader’s Viewpoint regarding the new terminal at Indianapolis
International Airport. It was both uninformed and misleading.

Chris KatterjohnWith apologies to the rock group King Crimson, who recorded a song in the late ’60s called “21st Century
Schizoid Man,” I’d like to draw attention to our city’s split personality. Good Indianapolis.
Bad Indianapolis.

Morton MarcusThe damage done by the recession is still with us, even if the recession itself has ended. But sufficient evidence is available
to suggest that the demon recession has left the nation’s economic body.

Peter Z. GrossmanIndiana officials appear to be working hard to get our share of the 5 million “green jobs” President
Obama says he’ll create. Sounds like a good idea, except for one problem: No one can really say just what
a green job is.

Can IBJ please stop referring to this property as "Kessler Mansion"? What a ridiculous title for the biggest, bloated, blight in our city. It's not a mansion. At best, it's an ideal site to shoot low-budget porn. Ahhh! Another business use!
Its stories like these that prove that a Ball State diploma is worth less than the paper that its printed on. A real institution of higher learning would have taken care of this long ago. No way should this crap be taught in a SCIENCE class.
It is such a shame that King Ballard has made Indianapolis into Chicago south with all of the rampant corruption.
How many of these 1,259 bills were actually heard and voted on on the floor vs how many were shot down in committee?
When a an arrogant young guy with essentially no experience and no qualifications for the job, was dropped into an Administrator position out of nowhere by his "mentor" in the Mayor's office things seemed fishy. Sometimes things are what they seem.
