Gov. Mitch Daniels (IN-R) ready to revive past legislation

[and-justice-for-all]

On the agenda

Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels unveiled his legislative wish list this week. On his agenda:

n Pass a balanced budget without a tax increase.

n Create an automatic taxpayer refund to kick in whenever a state surplus reaches a certain percentage of spending.

n Revamp the state’s collective bargaining law so that teacher pay and tenure would be linked to student achievement.

n Provide more educational options for K-12, including more charter schools.

n Fix the state’s unemployment insurance fund, which is now broke, with a change in unemployment premiums and benefits.

n Prohibit unions from collecting mandatory dues from state employees who are union members.

n Require annual state employee performance reviews in a way that would allow for the best employees to be paid more.

n Abolish township boards and eliminate county commissions in favor of a single county executive.

n Redraw Indiana’s political districts fairly, on the basis of geographic and community boundaries.

n Revamp criminal sentencing laws to address prison overcrowding and manage non-violent offenders in more cost-effective ways.

I can not stand this puke toad.

1. He won't try. He will get everything accomplished provided the General Assembly works for it.

And for the most part they will. The General Assembly now has more than enough members in both chambers to what they want. And they have a long session next year I believe so they have plenty of time to accomplish it.

2. Yup, GOP now controls the House

and has a super majority in the Senate. He will get everything he wants on a silver platter. And if you're poor, sick, disabled or unemployed, you can just curl up and die.

I think the election of an African-American president has turned the KKK republic of Indiana from purple to hard core red.
