The proposed expansion of the smoking ban in Indianapolis failed to pass earlier this week. The City-County Council did not kill the measure outright; it has been tabled for a future date.

I just caught up on the back and forth between Edmunds.com and the White House this week. Edumunds released an analysis which stated that the "Cash for Clunkers" program cost taxpayers $24k per car. The analysis was based on the estimated incremental sales activity that the incentive generated versus the total payout of incentives. The White House fired back on their official blog with the sarcastic headline of "Busy Covering Car Sales on Mars, Edmunds.com Gets It Wrong (Again) on Cash for Clunkers" touting the impact that the program had on Q3 GDP. Edmunds retorted once more.
