Can politicians learn anything from pro football besides punting on balanced budgets and blocking useful legislation? Probably not, but there are other parallels between the gridiron and gridlock.

Enough is enough!

Our eyes well up with joy when we watch parents bring their 10-month-old baby home from the hospital for the very first time.

Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m., I went to the Tipton Community Theatre to see “9 to 5”. I was amazed and very entertained by this production.

If the Democratic Party were somehow able to manufacture enough evidence and get enough votes to impeach President Trump, Vice President Pence would become president. If they would be able to do the same with him, then Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi would step into the presiden…

I’m finally able to take more than just a moment or two to process the incredible events that transpired [last] week! Wow! Words cannot adequately describe the honor and appreciation I felt [last] week from the incredible show of support at the polls and the historic results that day produced!

Today, we celebrate the service of our many veterans across the state and the country. It's very important: those who have given the greatest sacrifice in life, and those who have returned from serving our country so diligently.

For the first time, Hoosier Democrats will hold the Mayor’s office in Zionsville and seats on city councils in Carmel and Fishers. Democrats won commanding victories for mayor in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and New Albany, added a council majority in Columbus and strengthened council majorities…

I write this letter in support of Tyler Moore to be our next mayor. I have known Tyler long before our political paths crossed. During that time, I always admired Tyler as a professional, as a friend, and a father.

I have known Bob Cameron for more than 50 years. I have seen him at the best of times and in the “not so good” times. And through those times he has been a rock, a cornerstone, a man of integrity and a man of his word.

Ondis Brantley of Kokomo sends this Jeer for the Democratic Party:

So often city officials do not really talk about education and teachers. I understand why. Cities do not have authority over schools, salaries, testing or class sizes - all of the factors viewed as directly affecting education are decided at the state and national level.

Tyler Moore probably doesn’t know this, but he has always been a hero to me. I can still remember the first time I met Tyler. I was in the eighth grade and friends with his family.

As a registered independent voter, I try to vote for the best candidate. I want to encourage you too to vote for the best candidate in the upcoming mayoral election. The mayor is the CEO of the city and his or her decisions affect how you live every day of your life. This person has a direct…

A recent Abbie Smith newspaper advertisement got my attention.

The operation of city government is at a crossroads. In times like these we all want to make sure we are in the hands of qualified elected officials.

The mayoral debate a few weeks ago got me thinking. I even rewatched part of it on Facebook.

Susan Burns and Emily Koors raise a Cheer for the volunteers, sponsors and players who supported another successful Western Buddy Bags-RUMC fundraiser:
