All parties need to sit down and figure out how costs can be contained and assure that the Prosecutor’s Office makes the move to help streamline the judiciary process and keep the campus’s development on track.

Together with Manning and many other stars over seven seasons, the Colts were 77-35 and made the playoffs six times.
If other cities had followed Indy’s lead, perhaps the nation would not be in this moratorium limbo, waiting to see if the extension can withstand a court challenge.

Poor mental health drives up health care costs, drives down productivity and can lead to significant absenteeism.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has encouraged Biden to use his executive powers to eliminate $50,000 in student loan debt for all borrowers, not just those defrauded. But it’s hard to fathom that those who have yet to pay off their student debt would receive relief while those who have paid off their student loans and are still struggling would be left out.
Brad Chambers has said the state must do a better job telling its story, making people aware that this is a good place to do business.
We applaud Indiana’s own Sen. Todd Young, a Republican, for joining with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, in sponsoring the bill and bringing the often-warring political parties together on such important economic issues.
IU’s incoming president, Pamela Whitten, and Purdue President Mitch Daniels should start talking now about how to give IUPUI the opportunity to move into the next tier of excellence—and that probably means a name change.
The CDC said last week that it’s safe for vaccinated people to be indoors without masks, prompting a number of communities that have imposed even stricter limits than Indianapolis to eliminate their mandates for face coverings and limits on the number of people who can gather indoors.

Now is the time to fix those imperfections to reduce the hesitancy of any prosecutor considering the law’s use.
We urge lawmakers and Gov. Eric Holcomb’s administration not to fritter away the cash on this and that and the other thing that don’t add up to anything consequential.
