I’ll join you. I’ll NEVER vote for someone who sells off highways to private companies with monopoly protection for unlimited tolling (as he did). He can go to the No Labels bunch as far as I’m concerned.

you have to be a democrat from south bend....the lease (not sale) of the Indiana toll road was brilliant. Billions of dollars came to the state, only for infrastructure, much of which is being spent for a freeway from Indy to Evansville, and completion of the heartland corridor from Fort Wayne to Lafayette.....both projects will benefit the state mightily
I have lived in Indiana for forty years and feel that he is the best Governor that this state has ever had....along with Doc. Bowen. Everything that he has done has not been absolutely painless(what it) but he sees a need and figures out a way to solve it and the VAST majority of intelligent Hoosiers approve of his measures.

I am in favor of road privatization as fast as is technically possible.

“you have to be a democrat from south bend.”

No, actually I’m an American from Texas. We have a governor who was trying to pull the same stunt - STATEWIDE. Basically sell off our highways (including freeways - as in I-10) to private companies for unrestricted tolling. We knew it was a SCAM and it was going to WRECK our state, so we (mostly Republicans on the outskirts of Houston), fortunately (and barely), managed to stop him (at least for now).

And sorry, you may wish to live in the fantasy of a ‘lease’, but when that ‘lease’ doesn’t end until my kids are dead, it is a SALE as far as I’m concerned.
