Flashpoint

FLASHPOINT: Soldiers in Afghanistan thankful for items from home

Today I received 12 care packages from my daughter Dylaney’s fourth grade class at Lost Creek Elementary School. Her teacher, Mrs. Janet Greulach asked her students to bring in items to send to the troops overseas. The students, with the help of their parents, did an amazing job gathering all of the items that were sent here and wrote letters to the troops as well. Lost Creek Principal Madonna Johnson took care of the postage costs of these packages to help make this delivery possible. ....more>>

  • Flashpoint: Restricting lobbyists will restore faith in officials
    Paul Wellstone, late senator from Minnesota and advocate for public funding of campaigns, often asserted that campaigns and elections are owned by those who pay for them.

  • FLASHPOINT: Indiana Senate plans to consider several ethics bills
    Legislation further enhancing ethics in state government will be among proposals authored and considered by state senators during the upcoming 2010 Indiana General Assembly session.

  • FLASHPOINT: Political leaders want to see changes in ethics laws
    I know it is tempting to portray the Indiana General Assembly as having a deaf ear toward ethical behavior, but I find such opinions do not match the commitment that the men and women in the Indiana House and Senate have toward meeting the public’s trust.

  • FLASHPOINT: Independent voice needed to bridge gap between parties
    A wise man once warned, “The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism.”
    — George Washington, Founding Father, USA

  • Flashpoint: Reality a bitter pill for free-marketers to swallow
    The Indianapolis Colts could reach the goal of winning all their football games if it were not for the annoying interference of referees, rules and regulations, unnecessary markers and arbitrary boundaries, those unfair and confounding limits on the number of players the Colts may put on the field at any given time, etc.
    In recent columns for the Tribune-Star, Arthur Foulkes, (Oct. 16), and Craig Ladwig, (Oct. 11), again make their case for free-market-and-nothing-but-free-market capitalism.

  • FLASHPOINT: It’s time to end Patriot Act abuses
    We’ve got another big chance to end Patriot Act abuses — but we have to act fast. The Senate Judiciary Committee had the opportunity to pass legislation to rein in a bill that has become a symbol of out-of-control government invasions of your privacy. They failed — approving a bill that does little to curtail the sweeping powers embedded in the Patriot Act.

  • FLASHPOINT: Misconceptions abound on teacher licensing proposal
    Despite what they may have been told, current teachers who study Indiana’s proposed rules for educator preparation and licensing (REPA) will be very happy with the recommendations.

  • FLASHPOINT: Government created health care’s dysfunctional mess
    This letter is in response to a letter you published as a “Flashpoint” piece in the Oct. 18 Tribune-Star.

  • FLASHPOINT: Unfortunately, the truth is often twisted
    What is the actual “unfortunate truth?” It is the relentless barrage of lies and twisted, self-serving, short-sighted propaganda we are subjected to by the energy sector, the private health insurance sector and the conservative talking-head sector.
