The nice thing about being back from vacation means you get to dive in all the issues that you missed while tanning on the beach with a cocktail and cigar. Ok, I’m just kidding about the cigar part. But seriously folks, one of the big issues right now involves school districts and theirtransportation programs. […]
I got back this afternoon from my annual tri-state trip to the land where all the radio and TV stations start with the letter K. I didn’t get many text messages or phone calls while I was away, so I can assume there were no earth shattering events. However, I did do a quick jaunt […]
The following is a guest post from Robert Enlow. Enlow is the President and CEO of the Friedman Foundation which advocates education reform and school choice. Call me crazy, but I want to know why no one gets upset when the state doles out over $10,000 to Carmel millionaires so that they can send their […]
Hey guys, as I’m heading out of town today I figured now would be a good time for us at Indiana Barrister to unveil a new project we’ve been working on. It’s called Indiana Discussion. It’s a web site where you can talk about local, state and national issues whenever you want. My good friend […]

School officials hope to have 2,000 more students in class […]
There’s nothing like starting out the week with a good bunch of gossip, rumor and political innuendo. Most of it falls on the Democratic side today. And as always, take it for what it is worth… Marion County Sheriff Frank Anderson apparently has felt the need to justify some recent purchases in these tight budget […]
The above is French for “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” That phrase has been on my mind a lot lately as I have monitored the health care reform debate. As an observer of political events, I tend to chuckle somewhat slightly as political roles tend to reverse over time. For […]
The Mayor made an appearance on C-SPAN yesterday. He was interviewed as part of a series on the economy’s impact on cities. My favorite caller was the Democrat from Indianapolis who said the Mayor was doing a good job.
RTV 6 is reporting this morning about a homeless advocate who was carjacked at 38th and MLK Drive. Andrea DeMink was carjacked at a convience store. DeMink runs Pourhouse, an agency that helps the homeless. Oh well, at least the guy wasn’t panhandling.
