When John Krauss<\/strong> announced he was retiring as director of the Indiana University Public Policy Institute, he was featured in an article in the Indianapolis Star <\/i>newspaper. Columnist Matthew Tully wrote, \u201cKrauss has been an important voice in the city for decades. He played a key role in the rebirth of downtown but, for me, his importance was summed up one night in 2012 when his institute pulled off a unique event in the year\u2019s otherwise mind-numbing election season. The coup was a series of back-to-back, substantive policy conversations with the candidates for governor. It was a night of depth and civility unmatched by anything else in 2012, and it was a reminder of why so many of us think so highly of Krauss.\u201d<\/p>\n
