More Hoosier Pride

I came across this in Sunday’s Jour­nal Gazette. It seems Indi­ana Gov­er­nor Mitch Daniels, fre­quently men­tioned as a pos­si­ble 2012 pres­i­den­tial can­di­date, took a bite out of his shoe. A recent cer­e­mo­nial bill signing

was punc­tu­ated by tears and emo­tion as fam­ily and friends of an Ohio woman who was killed in Allen County gath­ered to watch Daniels sign a bill spurred by her case.

After ini­tially behav­ing appro­pri­ately for the occa­sion and sign­ing the bill, Daniels says to the Ohioans:

Any­time you all want to move to Indi­ana, lower your taxes, you’re welcome.

More com­pas­sion­ate con­ser­vatism I guess.
