Morris column hit home

I enjoyed Greg Morris’ [Feb. 25] column. However, I wish he had taken it one step further to explain the absurdity of these so called “sequestration” cuts as they relate to baseline budgeting.

Put citizens first

Are there not any really decent people to run for Congress [Maurer column, Feb. 18]? Too many of these candidates have the ability to speak smoothly, show an engaging personality and make a good impression. The real essence of their character is not revealed until they are caught taking advantage of their slick-lip shenanigans.

Hempstead needs a grip

I surely hope Sarah Hempstead [Feb. 25] was joking when she suggested we ask anybody about Indianapolis—inferring, I would guess, a blank stare.

Quirky campaign aims to win new listeners for WFYI

National Public Radio is spending $750,000 on an aggressive advertising campaign designed to boost its audience in four test cities, including Indianapolis, by pointing out the wide variety of people who listen to public radio.

Don’t subsidize Indianapolis Motor Speedway

I seriously question the advisability of our state, city or county providing monetary support to sports organizations, and certainly Indianapolis Motor Speedway [Feb. 18].

Hospital systems forcing doctors to choose sides

The five-year trend of physician practices marrying up with hospitals has made it harder and harder for independent physician practices to spend time in more than one hospital system.

HOLLENBERG: Deregulation has gone too far

As an environmental policy analyst, the governor’s ordering of a moratorium on environmental regulation concerns me. It should also concern Indiana residents and businesses.

RUSTHOVEN: The sky really isn’t falling

If 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.

HICKS: Economic evolution requires ongoing flexibility

I am often asked some version of the question, “Can we really survive becoming a service economy—won’t our loss of manufacturing jobs spell doom for our country?” The answer is, “No.”

Let the sequester begin: Senate fails to block spending cuts

The $85 billion in across-the-board federal cuts are set to kick off on Friday, but will fall into place gradually over several months. The Obama administration has pulled back on its earlier warnings of long lines developing quickly at airports and teacher layoffs affecting classrooms.

PROXY CORNER: Hillenbrand Inc.

Batesville-based Hillenbrand Inc. sells burial caskets and other death-care products. The company also operates a Process Equipment Group, which makes material-handling equipment and systems.

Tangle with Huntington could fell ‘Peanut King’

Richard Green Sr. is called “The Peanut King,” a moniker he earned more than a half-century ago, when he operated 9,000 peanut-vending machines across seven states. Those machines, which swallowed coins in return for a handful of nuts, are long gone. But his 56-year-old Indianapolis business, the Richard Green Co.—which these days sells pretty much […]

Prosecutor: No charges in deadly ambulance crash

The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office said Thursday that no charges will be filed against the driver involved in a deadly Feb. 16 collision with an ambulance downtown. Indianapolis paramedics Timothy McCormick, 24, and Cody Medley, 22, died from injuries sustained when their ambulance was struck by a car that failed to stop for a flashing red light. The driver of that car, 21-year-old Jade Hammer, admitted to consuming alcohol before the crash, but her blood-alcohol level was found to be 0.038 percent, well below the legal limit of 0.08 percent. Curry said the Indiana Supreme Court has held that failing to stop for a red light “does not constitute recklessness as a matter of law.”

Brownsburg residents oppose indoor gun range

Several Brownsburg residents expressed concerns Wednesday about an indoor shooting range that could open near their homes. Plans for the 100,000-square-foot facility at 462 Southpoint Circle have not been submitted to the Brownsburg Zoning Board, but homeowners turned out for an informational meeting. Residents said they were worried about safety and the impact the range would have on nearby homes’ values. The project could be up for zoning approval as soon as April.
