Mitch Daniels is a man of achievements. He did great job as a governor. As Bush budget director and probably the best as Purdue University president.
During his tenure, the university tuition was NEVER raised.
He actually targeted the administrators for budget cuts. What innovative!
Obviously, the legislative branch is quite boring. Listening to a lot of dummy speeches and voting occasionally. I would be bored to death!
He is a man of action, he likes to be a man in charge!
He may be looking for some position in future Trump administration.
I remember radio hosts Don and Roma in Chicago had an interview with Daniels when he was Governor. He came from Indianapolis by himself on his motorcycle to the studio in Chicago. No bodyguards, no aids, no security. They compared him to interviews they had with Chicago’s mayor Daley where he would arrive with a four man security detail, HR rep, driver, etc...
