“Before joining the Journal Star, Tarter, a 1972 graduate of Bradley University, was marketing director for GP Transit (now CityLink).

“While driving the Journal Star’s regular economic coverage, Tarter will also write a weekly business column and will continue to contribute to the ‘Minding Business’ blog on pjstar.com.
