Murtlow “For a leader to be highly effective, it takes two common things: passion and discipline,” she said. And the people who hired Murtlow say her connections to the Indianapolis business […]
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.
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.
An Indiana-born entrepreneur gave $125 million. Just five others gave $1 million or more.
I surely hope Sarah Hempstead [Feb. 25] was joking when she suggested we ask anybody about Indianapolis—inferring, I would guess, a blank stare.
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.
I seriously question the advisability of our state, city or county providing monetary support to sports organizations, and certainly Indianapolis Motor Speedway [Feb. 18].

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.
Have you ever wondered how and why the mutual funds your brokerage firm recommends or those that appear on your 401(k) plan’s menu of investment options were chosen?
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.”
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.
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.
The company, which roasts nuts and sells concession equipment, filed for bankruptcy to stave off Huntington National Bank, which had filed to foreclose on its real estate.
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 […]

Chrysler Group LLC plans to invest a total $374 million and add 1,250 jobs in Kokomo and Tipton, the company confirmed Thursday.
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.
