EDITORIAL: City-County Council doesn’t need fixing
March 9, 2013
As the second half of the legislative session begins to heat up, one of the bills still in play deserves calling out for its
blatantly political intent.
MoreMORRIS: After long winter, thinking of parks and how we fund them
March 9, 2013
Greg MorrisI know we had snow last week, but spring is almost here. Daylight saving time is just kicking in. We’ve been cooped
up much of this winter, and it feels like it’s way past time to get up, get outside and MOVE! That means we’re
about to see more people outside taking advantage of our parks and greenways, something that far too many of us take for granted.
MoreKENNEDY: A matter of perspective
March 9, 2013
Sheila Suess KennedyIf there is one observation increasingly endorsed by conservatives and liberals alike, it is this: American government isn’t
working. Not in Washington, and not in a growing number of states.
MorePAULEY: Indianapolis is an education epicenter

Jane Pauley / Special to IBJA few years ago at a dinner in Washington, D.C., with some of the nation’s leading education reformers, one of them
asked if I knew about The Mind Trust.
MoreHICKS: Economy will get worse before it gets better
March 9, 2013

lower-to-middle-income families.
MoreSKARBECK: Don't get overly excited about new index records
March 9, 2013
Ken SkarbeckThe frenzy surrounding a new market high tends to raise the blood pressure in investors. It seems to stimulate a feeling that
they need to “do something.”
MoreALTOM: Hire a chief information officer before it's too late
March 9, 2013
Tim AltomThe position is meant to be more than a glorified tech support desk. It should be the office where infrastructure growth is
planned and merged with the company’s overall goals.
MoreFEIGENBAUM: General Assembly is Senate-centric this term
March 9, 2013
Ed FeigenbaumCynics might suggest the General Assembly really hasn’t accomplished much since convening in January. While that’s
a tad unfair, the session does seem unusual.
MoreBENNER: From the NBA to the Big Ten, putting butts in seats is king
March 9, 2013
Bill BennerEven watching the game from home on ESPN, a casual observer might have thought Bankers Lie Fieldhouse was a neutral court.
MoreLOU'S VIEWS: Eiteljorg shows how the West was strummed
March 9, 2013
Lou HarryWhile I could look at most of the instruments on display at the new “Guitars: Roundups to Rockers” exhibition
at the Eiteljorg with cool detachment, Woody Guthrie’s Martin 000-18 acoustic guitar stopped me.
MoreDINING: This Local welcomes outsiders

March 9, 2013
Bruce HetrickMany would-be applicants start off with content that fails to set them apart or showcase the key benefits they bring to the
table.
MoreTax break, rebate lauded
March 9, 2013
I have a message for Mr. Madison, Mr. Odle and Ms. Leighty [March 4 Forefront]: If you don’t want your rebate, return
it, but let me keep mine.
MoreTruth hasn't changed
March 9, 2013
Peter Rusthoven’s [Feb. 18 ] column “‘Relevance’ is irrelevant” could not have been more on
point. The world view, as seen through liberal media, is that not just the Roman Catholic Church but Christianity in general
needs to “become more relevant to an increasingly secular world.
MoreSequestration piece spot-on
March 9, 2013
While I don’t always agree with [Greg Morris], he was spot on with this [Feb. 25] column. Excellent job on this huge issue
for the future of our America.

MoreTake the federal money
March 9, 2013
There are good reasons to feel optimistic about the changes taking place as a result of health care reform. More people will
have access to insurance through health insurance marketplaces, and many will be able to take advantage of tax credits to
afford this new coverage.
MoreODLE: Gov. Pence, please keep my money
March 2, 2013
Samuel L. Odle / Special to IBJMost days I wish the government would take less of my money and let me use it to save, invest, donate or just spend frivolously.
I figure I earned this money, it’s mine and I deserve to keep it, right?
MoreSIMPSON: 'Our hopes and dreams are bound together'
March 2, 2013

points, urging on the political rhetoric.

MoreMAURER: Big Q's lofty mission didn't involve flying
March 2, 2013
Mickey MaurerQuentin Paige Smith died in January at age 94. If you didn’t know the Big Q, you missed a hell of a man—his own
man—unbowed by the evil racism of the pre-Civil Rights era. I wrote his biography for my book “19 Stars of Indiana—Exceptional
Hoosier Men,” and now I can tell you the rest of that story.
MoreRUSTHOVEN: The sky really isn’t falling
March 2, 2013
Peter J. Rusthoven / Special to IBJIf our president is right—and who doubts a word he utters?—writing this is wasting time, as it is scheduled for
publication that day after the “sequester” takes effect and life comes to an end. But on the off chance the world
survives, let’s soldier on for the fraction of readers who might not always find this column a waste of time.
MoreHOLLENBERG: Deregulation has gone too far
March 2, 2013
Cindy A. Hollenberg / Special to IBJAs an environmental policy analyst, the governor’s ordering of a moratorium on environmental regulation concerns me.
It should also concern Indiana residents and businesses.
MoreHICKS: Economic evolution requires ongoing flexibility
March 2, 2013
Mike HicksI am often asked some version of the question, “Can we really survive becoming a service economy—won’t our

MoreKIM: Mutual fund choices influenced by conflicts

menu of investment options were chosen?

Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.
I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.
The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.
I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
