Let market successes dictate energy sources

Thanks for the budget

For many years, including my time at Indiana Black Expo, I have worked to bring people together for the betterment of our city. I’m grateful that our City-County Council and mayor put aside partisan differences to pass a budget.

KANNING: Myopic priorities stifle growth

I recently overheard two business leaders saying the slow pace of economic recovery would impede their quarterly results. I concur with their assessment, but focusing on the rate of economic recovery is similar to looking at an iceberg; only 10 percent is visible. The other 90 percent is hidden below the surface.

Explosion suspects get separate trials

The lawyers for defendants Monserrate Shirley and Mark Leonard requested separate trials because they are expected to mount different defense strategies. A third suspect—Leonard’s half-brother Bob Leonard—did not request a separate trial.

The explosion killed two people and damaged 86 houses in the Richmond Hill neighborhood.
