If your employer offered to double your salary, would you jump at the chance? In a rational world, you’d take that deal 100 times out of 100. However, you’ll probably be surprised to learn how we make a “no brainer” decision like this depends on whether someone else is involved.
New Government Accounting Standards Board rules require state and municipal governments to report their pensions in ways more like that of private sector pensions.

Invite the business community to efficiently solve some of society’s most pressing problems.
he question can be viewed several ways. One approach is simply ranking industry groups and associations—by appraising perceived wins and losses. A second is to assess the role of the individual lobbyist representing them to legislators and the governor’s office.

It seems that what is right for America must not be right for Hoosiers. At least, that is what our governor would have us believe.
