Jean Ross: Will 2021 be the Year of the Nurse at the Statehouse?
I am discouraged we might waste another year not addressing the nursing shortage in Indiana. Cost, access and poor health outcomes will continue to be the symptoms discussed, and addressing the nursing shortage will not be seen as a probable diagnosis.
Letter: An obvious place for homeless
I don’t understand why the city keeps saying there’s no place to house the homeless. Drive over to the VA Hospital, at 2601 Cold Springs Road.

A column in IBJ was woefully incomplete by their deliberate failure to recognize a market force (our anti-trust laws) that protects consumers and competitors for the benefit of our economy.
Editorial: Pass legislation to help rid police agencies of bad officers
This is a meaningful piece of legislation that has the support of the Indiana State Police, Indiana State Fraternal Order of Police, Indiana Law Enforcement Academy and Indiana Sheriff’s Association, as well as the Indiana Black Legislative Caucus, the NAACP and the Indiana Black Expo, plus the Indy Chamber and the Indiana Public Defender Council.

Letter: Leave law enforcement to the police
From first grade to 12th grade, law enforcement officers came to our schools and stated: “Never take law enforcement into your own hands.” That’s what homeowner groups are doing with license plate cameras.

This year reminded me once again why locally owned businesses mean so much to a community.
