Lawmakers sometimes do their best work right after an election, when they have a fresh victory in hand and can think beyond their political self-interest. Same goes for the chief executive. Gov.

Life sciences VC funds thaw a bit-WEB ONLY
Venture capital is flowing a bit more to Indiana and Midwest life sciences companies, according to data released this week. But it’s still nowhere near the record levels of two years ago.

With some important cautions, my answer was "yes."
Is poor management Indiana’s problem?
Hoosiers identify many factors contributing to our state’s long-term economic difficulties. It is fashionable to blame our
workers. It is easy to decry a lack of natural amenities: no mountains, no coral reefs. Our public schools are inferior and
perhaps our higher education is overrated. Our taxes are too high but we have substandard government services. We ain’t got

Architecture and urban design students from Ball State have created a vision for urban renewal that is arguably more compelling
than the Central Indiana Regional
Transit Authority’s principal, utilitarian goal of reducing northeast-side highway congestion and air pollution by running

Luke Kenley of Noblesville says he’s more optimistic now than he was a few weeks ago about the chances of reaching an agreement that would help Indianapolis’ cash-strapped stadium agency.
