Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels has gained a special place in my heart , as one of the biggest morons since the dawn of time. The guy has a track record of fleecing the poor , retired , and the elderly(just ask anyone with IPALCO stock). The name Enron comes to mind as soon as the Governor’s name is mentioned.

The Governor has proposed a Seventy-Five year lease of one of Indiana’s largest assets , The I-80/I-90 toll road. The road nets $90Million per year and supports thousands of families. The rhetoric that I recieved from my State Senator bordered on a lie, with a hint tword the state running the road at a loss. That is simply not true. NET means after everything is paid for ……Police , attendants , repairs and all other things related to the road are paid for before the number of $90M. The State will recieve $3.85 Billion for this lease , and in the long run lose $2.9Billion. The claim that it will free up $109M per year isnt true. Those monies come directly from the Toll Road . How do you keep getting the money from a road that you leased out to a Austrailian/Spanish consortium????

Mitch Daniels ran for Governor in the state of Indiana telling us that he was going to IN-source as much as possible ,and thusly create jobs in the state. Now he is OUT-sourcing one of Indiana’s greatest assets . His claim that we buy too much out of state pales in comparison to buying out of country/continent.

The State of Indiana cannot afford our Governors quirky ideas , so I am joining the chorus of DITCH MITCH.
