The top priority for Governor Mitch Daniels is to begin to reverse Indiana's economic decline, because future success in every other area depends upon it. During Governor Daniels first year in office, Indiana became a much more growth-friendly place.
Taxes on research and development and small business were reduced. The Daniels Administration reordered state government to become an ally and not an obstacle to growth. And, a new public-private job-seeking agency replaced a failed state bureaucracy.
