Letters to the Editor

We keep wanting to lower taxes but then never get done what is needed.

Indianapolis taxpayers have subsidized Jim Irsay’s lavish lifestyle for far too long.

Thank you to Aaron Renn for an assertive and well-thought-out piece on the future of the City-County Building! You took the words right out of my mouth!

While a federal vaccine mandate for certain employers is looming, we believe that decision should be left up to individual employers. They are in the best position to address any work environment challenges.

I’ve been fully vaccinated, but I just tested positive for COVID. Am I a Democrat or a Republican?

The housing crisis is not good for anyone—renters or landlords. Hopefully, our community will rally around systemic and sustainable policy solutions instead of searching for a few examples of abuse.

Cecil Bohanon and Nick Curott’s “economic analysis” in the Aug. 20 issue of IBJ sounds like the uninformed musings of a professor who never ventures out into the real world.

Contrary to the editorial’s position, districts should also be made competitive to foster discussion and debate of crucial issues at the district level. Indiana’s current districts contribute to harmful polarization.

CRT is a Marxist ideology whose intended conclusion is the overthrow of American institutions, using race as the driving force in place of “class” conflict.

I commend brave entrepreneurs like Kris Bowers and Zachary Davis that are so committed to keeping the Fountain Square district vibrant.

Only through congressionally allocated grants and funds can we thoroughly modernize our roads, bridges, waterways, and broadband services for our rapidly evolving economy.

Most of the time it seems that average citizens, rather than corporations, are the parties most often on the receiving end of agency misfeasance or malfeasance in failing to comply with the two primary public access statutes.

Part of the disparity in health outcomes is attributable to how people of color are treated by white practitioners vs. practitioners of color, even when the practitioners are “equally” skilled.

While the story sadly does point to actual injustice in America’s past, it is not CRT and doesn’t help the reader understand CRT.
