Continuing to use the excuse that the money is already spent amounts to a slap in the face of the Ohio victims of Durham’s illegal scheme, many who lost their life savings.
KETZENBERGER: Drafting Daniels for corporate Indiana
If his first run for governor is any indication, he’d make a heckuva presidential candidate. I hope he doesn’t.
BOEHM: State employees hang in court balance

SHELLA: It’s time Indiana gets a full-time legislature
Indiana voters have long held onto the notion that a part-time legislature is more efficient and therefore more effective. But it may be time to reconsider.
EARLY: Lugar, Mourdock fight already a bruiser
In any event, Mourdock will have an energized Tea Party in his corner as well as many of the party regulars. Mourdock is a great speaker and a tireless worker. Lugar does not want to debate him.

Roads to democracy are always bumpy—and, frankly, I feel pretty good about Egypt.

This inequality, in which an enormous segment of the population struggles while the fortunate few ride the gravy train, is a world-class recipe for social unrest.
HARRIS: Education reform would elevate, not denigrate, teachers
What is especially troubling about this tactic is that it denies us a chance to debate these critical issues. The policies being proposed in Indiana to evaluate and reward teachers would benefit from a robust debate.
MEREDITH: Bashing dedicated teachers is no way to reform education
Teachers simply cannot be made the scapegoats in the education reform debate. This merely distracts from the real issues at hand.
RIVERA: Martindale-Brightwood revamp can set strong example
A walk through the streets there showed a pattern of crumbling infrastructure, missing chunks of sidewalks, and boarded-up homes. When I asked a city official for the number of abandoned houses in this neighborhood, he answered, “between 300 and 450."
SANDERS: Create a sense of community across broader Indianapolis
The dictionary defines “neighborhood” as “a district where people live.” That certainly defines Indianapolis …
Unions are valuable
Thank you, Dr. Woodrow [Myers, who wrote a column in the March 28 Forefront] for a reasonable response to the collective-bargaining issues that face Indiana.
