9 thoughts on “Carroll Award winner: Bill Oesterle succeeds big time, bridges cultural divides

  1. Bill is a most-deserving recipient of this prestigious award. Great article about what he has accomplished! Congratulations to Bill and his family and colleagues (and to the selection committee).

  2. What a ridiculous puff piece. For about 18 years, Oesterle ran a company, Angie’s List, that never turned an annual profit. And he walked away a multi-millionaire despite his failures. And let’s not forget all the taxpayer money Angie’s List received over the years.

    1. Oh, he’s a success story. Never before has someone failed so badly running business and yet walked away a multi-millionaire.

  3. congratulations, to a good Hoosier. However, how can we be “optimistic about pretty much everything to do with Indiana” when most of the indicators of quality of life are low and declining? How can we be optimistic, for example, when our state legislature is missing in action in addressing our major challenges?

  4. I wish I could share Bill’s optimism – but the Republican party that he supported and help build refuses to properly fund the programs and initiatives that not only help all Hoosiers and keep our educated kids here, but attract others to our state. Teacher salaries compared to surrounding states is a good place to start – and this war on public education all started under former Gov. Mitch Daniels’ reign. I can’t even keep my own college and post-grad educated kids here.
