A co-worker proudly displays a bumper sticker with the slogan ?My Man Mitch.? While your humble narrator was disappointed to learn that he had not inspired the bumper sticker, that disappointment disappeared when he learned that the honored Mitch turned out to be Indiana?s governor.
Newsweek is the latest publication to profile Daniels, explaining that his appeal rests firmly on his record:
After five years in the statehouse, admirers point out, Daniels has managed to lower property taxes by an average of 30 percent; transform a $200 million budget deficit into a $1.3 billion surplus; and insure 45,000 low-income Hoosiers through a budget-neutral combination of health savings accounts and catastrophic coverage. His approval ratings routinely top 65 percent.
