Letter: Toll road is bad policy
This report about the bankruptcy of the Indiana toll road tells us just how bankrupt the VTA-COG toll road plan is, what a bad decision it would be if local elected leaders are foolish enough to try it, and what bad public policy it would be for this and future generations. The bad public policy of taxing people out of their cars, which transit advocates are Hell bent on, would take us on the Road to Serfdom. Instead of steering us into government transport, our local leaders should learn from history and recognize the superior transport for us that self-sufficient motorists and truckers represent. Gas/diesel taxes paid by motorists must be kept for highway uses, not diverted to transit subsidies for government transit systems’ riders. If transit riders need more money to fund transit systems, then they should pay higher fares, not require motorists and truckers to pay higher taxes so local leaders can divert more of our money to pay for their bankruptcy-from-conception transit fiascoes. Why can’t we learn from history?

Letter: Nursing official at Saint Louise questions story in paper
I have been in the Health Care business for over 20 years and have worked at a number of hospitals in this state and abroad. Every time the surveyors, State or Federal, inspect a facility they find points of "non-compliance" and “deficiencies”. In fact it's their job to find these issues. Just as a driver risks losing his/her right to drive if they do not comply with the rules of the road, hospitals must follow their own set or rules or risk penalty. When a surveyor finds a hospital out of compliance on something, there is the threat of Federal/State funds being pulled. This is nothing new. It happens all the time and at every hospital in the country. This is all part of the process that helps a hospital achieve excellence in patient care and safety. Why don't your reporters report these facts? Why does the local paper here not support their only hospital? The reporting is so negative and full of doom that I believe you are doing your readership a disservice. Do you ever consider celebrating the good work Saint Louise does on a daily basis? I see it from the front row. I’ve seen lives saved here. I see people made well here every day. Do you think we will see a front page story on one of the very many wonderful successes achieved at Saint Louise?
