The Town of Zionsville’s new Non-Discrimination Practices Review Committee was to have held its initial meeting last week. As the debate on a similar ordinance goes on in Carmel, Zionsville quietly is moving on with its efforts to prevent discrimination. We oppose discrimination, but we believe it’s a business’ right to determine whom it wants to serve. With respect to advertising in Current, we serve everyone – except “adult entertainment” advertisers – but we retain the right to refuse any advertiser entry into our newspapers, and that’s how it should be. It should be the business owners’ choice.

Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) has demonstrated his ability to sideline unions in his home state. The other day, he said he would do the same thing nationally if elected president. Walker, you might know, is among the large field of candidates for the Republican nomination. He’s also among the large field of delusional candidates for which the GOP is rather famous.

Maybe we spoke too soon in awarding her the White House about 18 months ago in this space. Hillary Rodman Clinton (D-N.Y.) is hurting badly in polling among women. A recent Washington Post/ABC News national survey shows that while Clinton still leads the field of Democrats, “for the first time her support has dropped below 50 percent in Post-ABC surveys, with the biggest decline coming among white women.” She also trailed rival Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire and Iowa.

This should just about seal it for Donald Trump (R-Billions): No less an authority than actor Gary Busey has endorsed Trump’s presidential candidacy. OK, then, back to Dancing with the Stars, Gary.
