Thanks for visiting the Good Morning, Indiana blog!  One story that really got our attention this morning was the one concerning road rage.  The average American commuter drives an hour to work each way!  The long commute can cause drivers to get frustrated, which can lead to road rage.  Researchers say this cycle can lead to sickness and poor work performance.  How long is your commute?  What do you think are some healthy ways to handle road rage and manage that long drive?

We first reported Wednesday morning that TMZ.com had inside info and Rosie O’Donnell will be leaving The View. ABC Daytime is now confirming that is unable to reach an agreement with Rosie that would extend her co-hosting duties. Her previously announced one-year contract will expire Mid-June.

“I am very sad that ABC Daytime could not reach an agreement with her for a second year,” says Barbara Walters, creator of the show. “We will all miss Rosie on “The View,” and hope she will be back with us often next season.  She remains for me a cherished friend and colleague.”

Good Morning.  Thank you for visiting the Good Morning Indiana blog.  Our big story this morning, of course, is the prison riot yesterday in New Castle.  Two prison guards and seven inmates were injured.  Many Democratic lawmakers are pointing the finger at the Governor, saying the state should never have let an outside company run a state prison.  Democrats also say this never would have happened if the Governor had not approved housing out-of-state inmates in Indiana prisons.  What do you think?  Is bringing out-of-state inmates to Indiana prisons a bad idea?  We’d love to know what you think!

Good morning!  Thanks for visiting the Good Morning Indiana blog.  One of our big stories this morning was the metal detectors being put in place at Broad Ripple High School.  The move is being made after yesterday’s shooting just off campus.  One student was shot in the leg.  He’s in stable condition and the man who police say pulled the trigger is behind bars.  Do you think metal detectors at schools are a good idea?  Do you think they’re the best way to keep our kids safe?  Let us know what you think.
