Editorial: Freedom 250’s success is example of thinking big, executing well

August 28, 2026

The event went so well that President Donald Trump and Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, are urging IndyCar and Penske Entertainment, which owns the racing league, to bring it back for at least the next several years.

Editorial: State, federal authorities must push for answers to prison medical woes

August 7, 2026

Leaders must hold private and public officials accountable for inhumane conditions and inadequate care — not only for the inmates who suffered those problems but also for the taxpayers who funded the contracts.

Read More

Editorial: Wheel tax increase is necessary evil to generate money for road upgrades

Editorial: Lilly earns kudos for 150 years of innovation, economic impact

May 15, 2026

There’s no doubt the company has been among Indiana’s greatest innovators, employing tens of thousands of Hoosiers and contributing significantly to our state’s economy.

May 15, 2026 | Lesley WeidenbenerLesley Weidenbener

May 1, 2026

Editorial: Reboot strategy before seeking bids once again for Old City Hall

April 24, 2026

Following the collapse of a development deal between TWG and the city, we’re not sure it makes sense to seek another round of ideas from developers without deeper research into what’s possible.
