In Jennifer Wagner’s column [Pandemic offers opportunity to rethink regulations, Forefront, Jan. 15], her choice of licensed professions to compare was interesting. I agree the two professions (real estate agent and cosmetologist) seem, on the surface, to be treated unequally. However, I disagree with her statement that “a sloppy real estate agent is likely to do more long-term damage than crooked bangs.”
The column titled “We must accept election results as part of free market, society” [Jan. 22] should be required reading for all politicians and all who care about our democracy.
Announcements are easy. Implementation is harder. And implementation that leads to impactful change is harder still.
We’d like to see the governor be more specific about his proposal. He didn’t say, for example, how much money he wants to put behind it.
Hoosiers fortunately have great examples of elected leaders who understood that, with great power comes great responsibility. The responsibility to tell the truth, inspire and implement reforms that bring about positive results.

Most famously, anyone recall, “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor”?
Columnist Brad Rateike discusses the need to make a good impression when you leave a job, but ignores that his former employer, Donald Trump, didn’t do so.
The Infosys project reaffirmed my belief that the airport should aspire to move people and move the needle on economic development.
I am discouraged we might waste another year not addressing the nursing shortage in Indiana. Cost, access and poor health outcomes will continue to be the symptoms discussed, and addressing the nursing shortage will not be seen as a probable diagnosis.
I don’t understand why the city keeps saying there’s no place to house the homeless. Drive over to the VA Hospital, at 2601 Cold Springs Road.
A column in IBJ was woefully incomplete by their deliberate failure to recognize a market force (our anti-trust laws) that protects consumers and competitors for the benefit of our economy.
This is a meaningful piece of legislation that has the support of the Indiana State Police, Indiana State Fraternal Order of Police, Indiana Law Enforcement Academy and Indiana Sheriff’s Association, as well as the Indiana Black Legislative Caucus, the NAACP and the Indiana Black Expo, plus the Indy Chamber and the Indiana Public Defender Council.
IBJ defines “business coverage” more broadly than many business journals.
Unlike a verbal conversation, emails create perpetual, written records of business messaging. If executed well, email is an effective and expedient form of business communication, but confusing messaging can leave a lasting bad impression.
It’s disappointing that a Republican-controlled Legislature passed a bill that would preempt local control of something as community based as landlord/tenant regulations. But lawmakers did it and we don’t think they should override the governor’s veto of the bill.
Naming 40 influential people proved to be interesting, inspiring and incredibly difficult.
