STATEHOUSE – “When Gov. Daniels first took office, he said, ‘the State of Indiana will not prosper unless the least among us prosper.’ Without a plan, it’s just rhetoric. But Gov. Daniels has proved that he had a plan. “With his creation of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, he brought thousands of jobs to Indiana and turned a budget deficit into a billion dollar surplus. This year alone, the IEDC brought 219 new deals to the state. Since 2005, projections have shown businesses have created nearly 150,000 high-paying jobs and invested $27.9 billion in our economy. Because of Gov. Daniels’ vision for Indiana eight years ago, Hoosiers are poised to continue to lead the nation in job creation and innovation.” -30- Rep.
