EYE ON THE PIE: Here’s where Hoosiers get it right

September 10, 2007

We don’t have to be obsessed with property taxes. All is not dreadful despite the clamor of some disaffected taxpayers. For example, La-Porte has two operating barbershops on the same street downtown. This warms the heart. Equally positive is finding an excellent housing stock in LaPorte, with many beautiful homes painted in a joyous, imaginative fashion. Can you believe the McDonald’s in Winamac opens at 4:30 a.m. and keeps its drive-through open 24 hours a day? That alone suggests a…

New Image Fine Clothing Inc.: Clothier looking for the right fit After four years as a sideline, business becomes full-time job

September 10, 2007

Growing up in Detroit, Andrew T. Porter had an early education in men’s fashion. The son of a minister, he recalls admiring the Sunday best of his father and members of the congregation. In his neighborhood, “there was a clothing store on every corner,” Porter said. “I always had an eye for putting things together. It came naturally to me.” Porter remained a student of fashion, even though he worked in manufacturing. When a friend who owned a Detroit clothing…

Market woes in housing complicate relocations: Slow home sales, falling values make workers reluctant to move

September 17, 2007

Residential real-estate broker Andy Tarbutton typically wouldn’t turn down an opportunity to market a home just because a job transfer prompted the sale. But the ripple effects of the woeful housing market are causing agents and the corporate community to rethink the way they handle relocations. Not long ago, employees weren’t usually opposed to making a move to better their careers, because they were almost certain to turn a profit on their homes. Now, they’re afraid they’ll lose equity. “My…

Navigating the credit crunch: Will subprime woes leave you dry? Here’s what to look for.

September 24, 2007

For months, we’ve been reading and hearing news about the so-called subprime mortgage crisis and the resulting “credit crunch.” For thousands of families who have lost their homes to foreclosure, the crisis is clear. For most people, however, the impact isn’t so obvious. Beyond those directly affected by mortgage defaults, who else should be concerned about the aftershocks? Some economic forecasters are warning that the subprime mortgage situation and the ongoing weakness in the housing market could linger long enough…

Health care fix may wait for ’08: But other federal bills important to small business are making headway

September 24, 2007

That’s not what many NFIB members wanted to hear. “I’ve been a member of [the advocacy group] since 1985, and since 1985 the top issue has been health care that is affordable for businesses and employees,” said Barbara Quandt of Indianapolis-based Quality Environmental Professionals Inc. The firm’s health insurance costs increased by 33 percent in 2007, and Quandt said company leaders are “quaking” with dread over what will happen in 2008. QEPI covers 75 percent of insurance costs for its…

Subprime crisis a boon for apartment owners: Fewer renters are fleeing to single-family homes

September 24, 2007

Many of the banners touting free rent and other promotions have disappeared from Indianapolis-area apartment complexes. The concessions no longer are necessary as more Hoosiers look to rent, and they stay in apartments longer. Market observers say a big reason for the uptick is the subprime housing crisis and a resulting slowdown in new-home construction. “People are staying longer because it’s a little more difficult to purchase a home,” said Alexandra Jackiw, president of Buckingham Management LLC, a subsidiary of…

Landlords bring pipe to fight with regulators: Prospect of state oversight brings flood of protest

October 1, 2007

The state’s apartment industry, backed by firms that landlords hire to bill their tenants for water and sewer service, says state officials are legally all wet if they try to regulate the industry as utilities. Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission jurisdiction “does not extend to the regulation of a landlord’s water pipes any more than it may extend to a homeowner’s garden hose,” Clayton Miller, a Baker & Daniels attorney representing the Water Sub-Billing and Conservation Coalition, told the commission last…
