Letter: Choose donation, save lives
Together with our local hospital partners, we honor the gift of donation while helping families find meaning, healing and hope through their loved one’s legacy.
Letters: IU must up game in clinical trials
I do not fault Lilly for making its charitable donation to IU. Over the years, Lilly has been extremely generous to our city and state in various ways.
Letters: Lawmakers should show more civics leadership
As some legislators have pointed out, healthy democracy requires hearing and representing the views of all citizens as difficult choices are made.
Letter: Tax hike will boost smuggled smokes
We found that in the three months leading up to and the three months following Indiana’s last tax hike, sales to Michigan retailers in border counties rose more than 50% as buyers stocked up.
Letters: Indiana should seriously evaluate nuclear risks
Indiana deserves a full, transparent evaluation of the benefits, risks and alternatives, not just optimistic projections.
Letters: Shutdown hits companies, workers, food banks
To keep families in our community healthy and stable, businesses, government and the nonprofit sector must work together.
Letters: Focus on job creation threatens quality of life
There needs to be an open and honest public discourse about the complete lack of transparency at the IEDC.
Letters: Braun bullied into special session
It’s 100% political and a shameful grab for total power. Is this the end of democracy in Indiana?
Letter: Rushed new tax system needs overhaul
Rushed through under the banner of “savings,” the law appears poised to cost taxpayers in Indiana’s small and rural communities their economic independence.
Letters: Stop next mega data center
At the Boone County Preservation Group, we know it’s too late to stop Meta’s data center from being built. But that doesn’t mean it’s too late to ask hard questions or to demand accountability.
Letters: Sculpture offers high risk, low reward
Intended to be eye-catching, it would visually intrude at the busy intersection and create an unnecessary crash-risk for motorists who navigate an already visually complex intersection much traveled by motorized vehicles and pedestrians, bicyclists and scooters.
Letters: SMRs are unproven, costs will spiral
The state is already speculating with ratepayer and taxpayer dollars. Excessive ratepayer costs are unavoidable.
Letters: Tim Harmon will be missed
Whether you agreed with him or not, Tim made you think and evaluate what you were doing or saying from the local perspective.
Letters: A city that doesn’t settle
In Carmel, we’re not just imagining the future, we’re building it.
Letters: Baird misses mark on Rep. Santos’ unethical behavior
Failing to heed a report from one’s own Ethics Committee or, on an even smaller scale, one’s own belief of what is right and wrong, shows a definite lack of leadership.
Letters: Let’s adopt music as city strategy
Indy can be and, in my opinion, should become a modified “Nashville-North” with more than a country music focus [“Editorial: Let’s craft a long-term strategy for future of downtown Indy,” June 6]. There are segments of the city that lend themselves to the development of many different music genres. For example, the Indiana Avenue area […]
Letters: Residents need to have a say
Vop Osili is my city councilor, and last year after he interrupted people during public comment and had them thrown out of a council meeting, I sat down with him. I explained that most councilors don’t even respond to constituent emails and public comments are the only way for many [residents] to communicate with their […]
Letters: Pre-K cuts will harm our kids, Hoosier families
This is more than bad policy. It’s a betrayal of our values. Early education isn’t a handout; it’s a proven investment in lifelong success.
Letters: Tariffs threaten rural economies
Wind, solar, and other renewable energy projects have helped revitalize rural communities by creating jobs, generating new tax revenues and providing lease payments to landowners.
Letters: Senators should vote no on Trump budget
If the bill is passed, the result will be permanent tax cuts for billionaires and corporations while America’s long-standing safety-net protections remain under attack.
