A recent pattern of legislative proposals attacks local control in ways that would slow our economic recovery and risk long-term progress on public safety.
Upon implementation, carbon emissions would drop by 40% over 12 years, while creating more than 2 million jobs, adding $70-plus billion to our GDP and providing a monthly dividend to all U.S. households—all without introducing a single new regulation.
At a time when the country—and many of our leaders—appear to be incredibly divided, we appreciate the effort by Sen. Todd Young and his GOP colleagues to craft a COVID-19 relief proposal they could take to the president.
The irony of this effort is that Republicans typically are in favor of “home rule” policies and laws, which allow a community to tailor its local government to meet local needs.
The IBJ is a weekly business journal, not a common daily. Calibrate accordingly.
In Jennifer Wagner’s column [Pandemic offers opportunity to rethink regulations, Forefront, Jan. 15], her choice of licensed professions to compare was interesting.

I don’t agree with columnist Riley Parr’s comment that “it is the height of hypocrisy for those on the left to (rightfully) decry the absurdity that took place at the Capitol on Jan. 6 when they turned a blind eye six months ago when cities burned.”
Most famously, anyone recall, “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor”?
Columnist Brad Rateike discusses the need to make a good impression when you leave a job, but ignores that his former employer, Donald Trump, didn’t do so.
The Infosys project reaffirmed my belief that the airport should aspire to move people and move the needle on economic development.
