MoreEDITORIAL: Holiday giving should last all year

MoreMORRIS: Setting an example we hope Washington will follow
December 1, 2012

about a month, but it seems much longer. I’ve talked to many business colleagues who have been doing the same.
MoreKENNEDY: The long and short of it
December 1, 2012
Sheila Suess KennedyThere’s an old saying to the effect that a politician’s idea of “long term” is the next election.

That is not the case.
MoreBENNER: An open letter to Purdue University's president-in-waiting

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.
