would not vote for him for dog catcher I've been to Indiana, the place is a damn mess.

Indiana compared to other states is like comparing a democratic republic to all other forms of government....it't the worst ever....except for all the rest

Daniels first action here in Indiana upon taking office was de-certifying the UAW as representative of state employees. That little deal had been set up by Evan Bayh 16 yrs previous. It took a lot of b@lls to do that in a state with a lot of union members.

Amen to that....I am no fan of labor unions and at that time, I was a correctional officer. I was surrounded by people who were very upset by his anti-union stance but I would ask them, "what connection do you have with the union other than paying dues every 2 weeks. You can't strike, you can't walk out, you can't demand a raise (legislature sets salary levels).....of what benefit is the union to you???? never had a reasonable answer It certainly made the state budget a whole lot more healthy.
