A sudden […]
For years, Devington Plaza has been an eyesore on the northeast side. After Kroger left in 2018, other stores followed leaving the once bustling shopping center mostly vacant. A lack of upkeep from the property owner led to the building deteriorating and illegal dumping in the parking lot, leading residents to report dozens of violations with the city. The site has also attracted crime and vandalism.

It’s clear that Bulldogs — students, faculty, staff and alumni — are civically engaged and want to use their voices and votes to shape local, state and federal policy. It warmed my heart to watch a steady flow of voters move through Hinkle Fieldhouse over the course of 12 hours to cast their ballots in the Nov. 3 general election. More so when students stepped up to cast their first votes.
Voter turnout in Indiana was up in last week's election compared with the 2022 midterm elections. Why it matters: The strong turnout, particularly in the state's largest counties, drove the blue wave that flipped long-held Republican seats up and down the ballot. The big picture: Election results are still being...

INDIANAPOLIS — A major road construction project on Indy’s south side has hit a snag and people who live nearby want to know why. In September 2024, the City of Indianapolis announced a “road diet” project for Madison Avenue, which will shrink the number of lanes and add new curbs and sidewalks. But nearly two […]
Watching the results come in on Election Day, I was grateful to see over two-thirds of Indiana's school referendums pass with ample community support, including in Indianapolis. But I was also devastated that many others across the state failed . It’s looking like 12 school districts will enter a maelstrom of fiscal uncertainty. I know what’s next: cuts, consolidations and closures. Teachers will lose their jobs. Students will lose access to programs, transportation and maybe school itself. And shrinking communities will lose an anchor that moored them from the storm. Who is responsible? People will argue that districts are inefficient, though there’s very little evidence of that where voters said no. The reality is that state and federal dollars haven’t kept pace with the rising costs of education, including diesel for buses and food for school meals. Indiana has dropped from 15th to 38th in the nation in per-pupil funding. Cuts to Medicaid have also hammered schools, as it provides the core revenue stream for school nurses, psychologists, occupational and physical therapists, special education technology and mental health services. If schools are going to continue offering those services, they have to find a way to pay. So why doesn’t the
