Letters to the Editor

The recently enacted CDC eviction moratorium gives renters a false sense of protection.

Reasonable people might differ on the details. But reasonable people are elected and appointed to resolve differences on behalf of our country. And there is no debating the many industries—and when we say industries, we’re really talking about people, jobs, families and livelihoods—are suffering.

Donald Trump is a disgrace to the Republican Party and a threat to American democracy.

Donald Trump hasn’t told the truth about the economy. No wonder Mike Pence doesn’t want people to look at the statistics.

I take offense at Curt Smith’s insertion of religion into any discussion having to do with our government.

According to Dr. Allon Friedman, “the likelihood of dying from COVID in Indiana is a 1.7-in-a-million chance.” It should be immediately apparent that his statement has no merit.

You bet I’m voting for her. She is a fine human being.

Trump has never been beholden to special interests, and he loves America and all Americans. Say

If John Mutz could have achieved on the state level what the Trump administration achieved nationally, he would have rushed to press with a special campaign brochure touting his achievements that Hoosier voters would surely have respected and appreciated.

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness? Not with the crony capitalists currently running the General Assembly. They don’t seem to care about the well-being of their own constituents.

I hope other traditionally Republican voters follow his lead and vote to remove this toxic presence known as Trump—who has done so much damage to our country at home and abroad—from the White House.

A Sept. 4 IBJ letter to the editor from Messrs. Kleiman, Pelizzari, Smith and Thompson defending the leadership of Matt Gutwein of Indianapolis Health & Hospital Corp. in relation to its nursing centers deserves scrutiny.

While differing opinions exist regarding how to manage the COVID pandemic, some facts are indisputable. This illness is serious, has major societal consequences, and should not be minimized. A recent IBJ column argued otherwise, triggering this rebuttal. Let’s start where we agree. It is likely that, with significant intervention, schools can operate safely. This still […]

I wish I were a Republican so that my views about Mr. Trump would not be dismissed as resulting from blind partisanship. Potential perceived partisanship is the weight on my shoulders which cannot be removed. I wonder if my Republican, pro-McCarthy grandmother thought my Republican mother was a Democrat partisan when my mother argued that […]

Lucas White’s Viewpoint column [Credit unions have unfair advantage over banks, Sept. 4] complained about instances where community banks have chosen to sell their assets to credit unions. It is nothing new for banks to want to limit options in the marketplace regarding credit unions because constraining credit union growth would reduce competition, and increase […]

Most county officials in southern Indiana as well as non-urban legislators are Republicans. But those Republicans are not like the Republicans of the past.

My child, our children, were forever changed by a school shooting in Noblesville, and our representative chose lobby over common sense. No thank you.
