Think of it as learning CPR and other lifesaving techniques so you’re prepared in the case of a medical emergency.

I’ve been fighting for common sense gun reform in Indiana for years as a member of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, and it’s tiring. But it’s worth it. Hoosiers deserve better.

It is imperative for Congress to prioritize the housing crisis and provide solutions that benefit all Americans, particularly those who are vital to our society.

You do not sacrifice quality or performance by hiring a person with a disability. On the contrary, I find that the intangibles are as relevant as the business advantages—like a dedicated and capable workforce.

Senate Bill 8, or the “Share the Savings” bill, would provide relief to hundreds of thousands of Hoosiers, ensuring their life-saving medications are more affordable by passing through negotiated rebates to plan participants at the point of sale.

Improving the health of Indiana’s citizens, county by county, in both our urban and rural areas, is essential to maintaining our status as a state that thrives.

Every good idea, no matter how well intentioned, does not need to become law.

Thank you, Karen Celestino-Horseman, for your column, “We need to be saved from the Legislature” [Forefront, March 10].

When can we get back to quality office holders more concerned about governing through collaboration and thoughtful consideration of all aspects of the major issues facing the country instead of focusing on their extremist wars?

Every time I come back to Indiana, I am reminded of the absurdly low speed limits on Indiana’s urban interstates.

The lack of transparency, diversion of much-needed property tax revenues away from schools and libraries, and overall mismanagement of the wacko financing scheme appears over-ripe for overhaul.

Over 2.4 million Hoosiers lack access to primary care, and 6.6 million can’t access mental health care. Indiana’s 9,000 APRNs stand ready to help expand access.

More than 825,000 Black Americans have diabetic retinopathy, a disease caused by damage to the blood vessels in the tissue at the back of the eye.

An improved overpass would be a great gateway for the East Street corridor.

As a rising tide lifts all boats, so too do the investments in renewable energy manufacturing improve the economic outlook for both rural and urban areas.
