To the victors go the things they spoiled THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW Ron Gifford:

November 13, 2006

I know self-government can be a messy thing. I’m well aware of Winston Churchill’s statement that “democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.” But why is it that every time I voted Nov. 7, I felt like I needed another shower? (What? You don’t vote early and often?) Well, the bad news is that the next campaign cycle began Nov. 8. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be Groundhog…

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS: Daniel’s toll-road plan futuristic, not dated

November 20, 2006

Is building roads innovative? Some reactions voiced in the wake of the Gov. Mitch Daniels’ proposal to build a 75-mile beltway around the east and southern quadrants of central Indiana say no. Outer belts, it is said, are a mistaken product of 1960sera thinking, robbing growth from central cities and helping create the faceless suburban landscape that surrounds so many major cities today. Innovative thinking on transportation, one might say, would embrace new technology and get us away from the…

Proposed highway could ease congestion, but transit backers say it won’t

November 20, 2006

A 2005 study for the state says an outer highway loop-like the one Gov. Mitch Daniels proposed Nov. 9-would reduce traffic northeast of the city, potentially splashing cold water on a rapid transit plan. But supporters aren’t backing down.

Biz park plan west of Plainfield counting on cheaper land

November 27, 2006

BRIAN WILLIAMS Commentary: Is privatizing public services the answer?

December 11, 2006

Since being elected governor, Mitch Daniels has unveiled several big ideas, a common theme of which is the privatization of public assets. Privatization is not a new idea or a big idea. Indianapolis residents are familiar with privatization, specifically of the city’s wastewater treatment facility and Indianapolis International Airport. While these privatization efforts purportedly have generated significant savings, none of those savings have been remitted to Indianapolis citizens, whose utility rates and ticket and parking fees helped construct and maintain…

Stewart helping promote Indiana to racing companies

December 11, 2006

City and state officials are igniting a souped-up effort to draw motorsports-related companies here, and they’re enlisting
Hoosier-born NASCAR champ Tony Stewart to help drive their message home.

EYE ON THE PIE: Time for progressive Indiana income tax?

December 11, 2006

There is growing agreement that the rich are getting richer faster than the poor are improving their lives. If you believe the trickle-down theorists, the poor will get the runoff as wealth is showered upon the few. If you look about, however, you will question this charming opinion held by the comfortable. At the same time, policies at the national and state levels continue to emphasize cutting the most important means we have of correcting this growing imbalance in America….

TAWN PARENT Commentary: Have you noticed Indiana’s new face?

December 18, 2006

When I stop and think about my own life, it doesn’t seem so far-fetched. I went to lunch at a Chinese restaurant near my office last week, and most of the people in line were Indian. Driving through my formerly whitebread neighborhood, I see buildings painted in bold yellows and reds with signs saying, “Tienda Morelos,” “Supermercado” and “Estetica Latina.” My son’s elementary school celebrates Chinese New Year with a big parade and lessons about eating with chopsticks and keeping…

Daniels’ major moves raise eyebrows:

January 1, 2007

Gov. Mitch Daniels created a firestorm in 2006 with his solution: Privatize the Indiana Toll Road. The 75-year lease of the 175-mile road in northern Indiana, to an Australian-Spanish consortium, closed June 29. The deal that gave the state a $3.8 billion check to finance other highway projects under Daniels’ Major Moves program not only lives on in controversy, but also could be the defining legacy of his administration. Daniels recently proposed privatizing the Indiana Lottery. And his team already…

More souls aboard ATA planes

Terre Haute officials pursing railroad port

January 9, 2007

City and economic development officials in Terre Haute want to reroute railroad traffic out of the western Indiana city to an 8,000-acre site east of town near Interstate 70.

US Airways has boosted its offer for bankrupt Delta Air Lines Inc. to $10.2 billion, after Atlanta-based Delta rejected an initial, $8 billion offer in November. The latest offer expires Feb. 1.

Aviation school adds five degree programs: Embry-Riddle considered closing local campus

January 15, 2007

One of the nation’s most prominent aviation schools is giving Indianapolis another chance. After withstanding a plunge in enrollment, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is adding five degree programs at its center here, with most of them aimed at careers outside the turbulent commercial aviation sector. It also plans to expand beyond its local student base of mostly working adults to court recent high school grads. Though in Indianapolis for 13 years, Embry-Riddle has had all the profile here of a stealth…

Muncie airport president promises dramatic change

January 17, 2007

Delaware County Airport is ripe for intense economic development instead of just continuing to rent land to farmers, President Dr. C. Kurt Alexander told commissioners Tuesday. The airport can look to Elkhart, Goshen and Fort Wayne for inspiration in turning airports into economic development tools, Alexander said. Michael Lynn has been hired to replace 91-year-old […]

Three-decade landfill battle rages on

January 22, 2007

World War II could have been fought seven times over since Ralph Reed and sons first tried to build Mallard Lake Landfill
outside of Anderson. The Reeds’ dream of big cash from trash has
upset hundreds of residents in subdivision-dotted fields since the family asked Madison County to rezone their 254-acre farm
in the 1970s.
