INDY'S WEEKLY ALTERNATIVE NEWSPAPER HIGHLIGHTING ARTS, ENTERTAINMENT AND SOCIAL JUSTICE

Thumbsup :: Thumbsdown

	Getting tough on sex. A federal judge has cleared tighter city regulations on Indianapolis sex shops — including taking doors off private viewing booths and making stores close at night and on Sundays — all as a way of “keeping our neighborhoods safe.” The city apparently considers a penis in the hand far more dangerous than a machine gun.
	Helping IndyGo keep going. A good sign that the city isn’t giving up on public transportation: City-County Council members, on Monday, reacted positively to the possibility of a $7.4 million property tax increase for the bus system. While nobody wants to pay more taxes, some things are worth the price.
	Settling the mold battle. Beazer Homes has agreed to a settlement with homeowners devastated by mold problems in their Northside neighborhoods. While some homeowners aren’t sure the $24 million settlement will become a reality, the move is a step in the right direction for these embattled area residents.
