  • It’s time to take the bull by the horns, fix City Hall gym

    It’s down to the final four in the NFL and I was surprised by three of the four winners.  So I will not talk about that this week except to say I am for the Colts and Saints. I am willing to overlook Drew Brees being Purdue alum because there are two Indiana University players on the Saints.

    On Thursday, however, the General Assembly wrapped up a quick week of work on legislation that promises to be one of the session’s biggest accomplishments. We needed to act fast to improve our chances of qualifying for a portion of the more than $4 billion in federal stimulus dollars being awarded on a competitive basis to the states. The state’s application is due early this week.
