All of this excitement at the legislature, and we're not even in an election year.
Kind of makes you wonder what next year will be like, eh?
One hint of what's to come can be found in the statements made by Governor Mitch Daniels yesterday, as he seemed to lay the groundwork for a renewed fight over local government reform.
"I hope we make more forward progress next year," he said. "We'll be back with local government reform."
It wasn't clear whether Daniels would back the same proposals he pushed this year, many of which came under intense fire from legislators in both parties.
"We'll have to talk about exactly which aspects, and visit with proponents, visit with adversaries, see if we can find a way to move forward there," he said.
With portions of the Guv's plan consisting of consolidating rural school districts and dismantling traditional local government, it remains to be seen whether Daniels can improve on his horrid track record of marketing these reforms across the state. He faced just as much criticism from the right as anywhere else this year, and winning over rural conservatives may be the biggest hurdle of all.
