Brian A. Howey / Special to IBJA couple of days after Richard Mourdock upset U.S. Sen. Dick Lugar in the May primary, Howard County Republican Chairman Craig

Louis Mahern / Special to IBJSo, you have been elected to the Legislature. Robert Redford once starred in a movie called “The Candidate.” At
the end of the film and after an improbable win for the U.S. Senate, the Redford character asks his consultant, “What

IBJ StaffIt will soon be time for newly elected governor Mike Pence to prove his critics wrong. Pence beat challenger John Gregg in
a closer-than-expected race in which he was accused of using his campaign’s major themes—jobs and the economy—to
hide his conservative social agenda from Hoosier voters.

Mickey MaurerNow that the Tea Party has swapped the best public servant in the United States Senate and a sure Republican seat for newly
elected Joe Donnelly, a Democrat, perhaps it’s time moderate Indiana Republicans stand up and reclaim the party.

Wayne S. Schmidt / Special to IBJWhile walking down a street in Prague recently, I made some observations. There were no potholes and no parking lots—just
rows of buildings. Each building was five stories high, except one. That one had a much different façade and an angular
design. It also was the building where people congregated. It was the building that captured the most attention and prompted
the most discussion.

barrels of oil and 4.7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the Illinois Basin sits in southwestern Indiana. We have even
more natural gas locked away as shale gas, coal bed methane and landfill gas.

Laura-the festivals and tastings are free. What does is strengthen the sense of community with activities. What are those empty lots doing for the Village? it's sad you can't see the good that this progress can do for the area. No one is requiring anyone to shop there. I guess you'd rather see a Dollar store move in or no, we'd rather see the property stand empty b/c change is out of the question.
Read down to the part about Brizzi. Someone needs to subpoena his "purchases" of Red RockPictures and Cellstar and his corresponding bank records, I mean c'mon, I'd like to see his alcohol usage records, too. http://diana-vice.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wonder if my neighborhood can advertise our "retention" pond and act like it is a beach too?
a new record at the '11 salebration until they realized that it was a futile effort to get their crapwagon moter and crapwagon car up speed. And then they just quietly slunk off into the night and never spoke of it again. Nothing to see here folks.
millions for putting a company's bumper sticker on one of its Lolas. But you gotta take what you can get.
