Parenting: What the pandemic teaches us about the need for parental leave
I’ve spoken to many working parents with children around my daughter’s age. Those fortunate enough to work from home tell me how relieved they have been to have their babies nearby.
Zachary Finn: Indianapolis can restore March Madness and reopen the world
Not everyone is willing to do the right thing against their own self-interest. Fewer still are courageous enough to be the first to make such a sacrifice. So it’s only fair that the NCAA tournament comes to our city, in its entirety, so we can lead the charge to open the world back up again.
Editorial: Kill the bill that punishes IndyGo
We oppose the bill and believe it to be a mistake that could have severe consequences for a bus system that is struggling despite the significant need for its services.
Lesley Weidenbener: When debate goes horribly wrong
I don’t know whether the legislation at issue—which addresses school district boundaries—is a good idea. I don’t know whether the Democrats’ description was spot on or was an exaggeration. But I know this: Booing another lawmaker who is making a sincere argument at the podium is never appropriate.
Greg Ballard: Future auto manufacturing depends on China supply chain
While the U.S. has held on to its fossil-fuel dependency, China has over the past two decades purposely been cornering the supply chain that is vital to the future of transportation.
Letter: Turn downtown offices into residential space

Editorial: Business community is right to rise up against legislative interference in Indy
We believe in local control. We expect Republicans to believe in local control, too. And so it’s baffling to us that some of the General Assembly’s most conservative lawmakers are leading the efforts to interfere in the way Indianapolis officials govern their city.
Lesley Weidenbener: Why I love reading Forefront columns
Forefront presents views from across the political spectrum—from the far right to the far left and everything in between.

Jason Shelley: Don’t strip cities of authority to set housing standards
While affordable housing is important, residents of all income levels deserve to have quality, well-designed, safe and well-built housing. Diminishing standards, as HB 1114 will do, will not solve the affordable-housing shortage.
Letter: Library shouldn’t expand in-person services
It is not safe for the community at this time to introduce more patrons into our buildings when new, more contagious virus strains have arrived.
Letter: Support climate legislation
This bill places a fee on carbon at its source, such as an oil well or coal mine, and returns all of the net revenue monthly back to households to pay for the added costs.
Letter: Give servers a raise
Many Hoosier voters don’t know that Indiana’s minimum wage is really $2.13 per hour. That is what waiters and waitresses make at many restaurants in Indiana.

Unity will not be achieved until this country turns back to Judeo-Christian values.
