"It looks like the only thing things this legislature is interested in doing is finding pork barrel projects on which to blow the state's reserves and the state's share of federal stimulus dollars."

For the most part, I like Governor Daniels and although there is a libertarian dilemma over "less government" versus "less centralization of government", which was a significant topic of discussion at one of our well attended MeetUps since the proposed changes make a trade-off between the two, I felt the proposed changes would be positive.
