MORRIS: Home-selling process isn’t for sissies
When was the last time you sold your home? Was it a smooth and pleasant experience?

MORRIS: Looking back, things never looked so good
I’ve been feeling a bit reflective lately as I just completed 22 years at IBJ a few weeks ago.
MORRIS: After long winter, thinking of parks and how we fund them
I know we had snow last week, but spring is almost here. Daylight saving time is just kicking in. We’ve been cooped up much of this winter, and it feels like it’s way past time to get up, get outside and MOVE! That means we’re about to see more people outside taking advantage of our parks and greenways, something that far too many of us take for granted.
MORRIS: Run for your lives—sequestration is upon us
This is a very scary week. I hope everyone has received that message loud and clear. The great sequester deadline has arrived. March 1 is only a few days away. Not since last year’s end of the Mayan calendar has there been such focus on a date that could preclude the end of days.
MORRIS: Post office is cutting back, but IBJ isn’t
You’ve seen the news coverage. Starting in August, the United States Postal Service will discontinue Saturday mail delivery. Forget the bills. Forget the junk mail. Who cares if you have to wait until Monday to get those items? In fact, studies have shown that seven out of 10 Americans are fine with eliminating Saturday mail delivery.
MORRIS: Finally, a new tax I can support
I wrote a column recently complaining about all the new taxes bestowed on us this new calendar year. It was a lengthy list. So, I don't want to sound contradictory when I tell you now that I want central Indiana residents to support a modest tax increase in the future to expand mass transit.
MORRIS: To trim debt, hike taxes and cut … ?
As Brent Musburger said when he spotted Miss Alabama in the crowd at the BCS National Championship game— “Whoa!”
MORRIS: After many positives in 2012, let’s avoid ‘cliff’
Put another year in the history books. It’s time for reflection and a look ahead to the new year. I went back and looked at my column written this time last year—“From politics to hoops, my 2012 wish list”—and I would say the results were mostly positive, with one big exception.
MORRIS: Balancing quality and the bottom line
My job takes me out of my office into the community on a regular basis. As I’m out talking with folks in the business community, a common theme surfaces almost without fail on a weekly basis.
MORRIS: Setting an example we hope Washington will follow
I’ve been knee deep in budget meetings, one after another, for what seems like an eternity now. It’s been only about a month, but it seems much longer. I’ve talked to many business colleagues who have been doing the same.
MORRIS: Tony Bennett took one for the team
I’m worried the defeat of Tony Bennett as superintendent of public instruction puts this state’s education reforms not at risk, but on a slower pace.
MORRIS: Your vote on Nov. 6 is important
We all need to express our feelings about what’s going on in our local communities, our state and our country by casting votes for the candidates we believe can make the most positive impact on our lives.
MORRIS: Time for inspirational leadership
Rarely do we hear someone speak who has the potential to change our life, and as a result, the lives of others. I had such an experience recently and I want to share it with you.
MORRIS: Republicans face hard Senate choice
One prime example of a candidate who promises more gridlock in Washington can be found right here in Indiana. Of course, you know I’m speaking of Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, Richard Mourdock.
MORRIS: Remember our founding principles
I’ve avoided talking politics for several weeks now, but I just can’t avoid it any longer.
MORRIS: Fox 59 is serious about local news
The announcement was made back in May and IBJ reported on it again in last week’s paper. However, I want to highlight WXIN-TV Channel 59’s expanded news coverage in the 6 p.m. hour, Monday-Friday, which starts airing this week. It’s the latest expansion of news at Fox 59 and the move is significant.
MORRIS: Ordeal showed importance of police
Let’s give them as much funding as possible so they can do their job well.
MORRIS: Charging for online content makes sense
A business model that provides mostly free digital content can’t continue in the long term.
MORRIS: Legal Aid Society deserves your support
It’s the largest organization in Indiana devoted solely to the non-ideological, non-sectarian, non-governmental provision of civil legal assistance to persons of limited means.
MORRIS: Young racers aspire to big league
USAC’s quarter-midget racing is a popular sport worth your attention.
