  • Pennsylvania Makes a Major Move

    Governor Ed Rendell (D-PA) announced the winning bid for the lease of the Pennsylvania Turnpike yesterday.  A team led by Citi Infrastructure Investors won the competitive bid by offering $12.8 billion for a 75-year lease of the Turnpike.  The deal offers many of the same protections as the lease of the Indiana Toll Road in terms of limited toll increases and guaranteed improvements to the road.  In terms of the dollars and cents, the deal is very close to what Indiana received.

  • It's Payback Time

    Governor Mitch Daniels has ordered the remaining money owed to local government be repaid by the end of the month, a full year ahead of schedule. This completes a payback program that Daniels started in 2006 to repay local government and schools money that was withheld starting in 2002 to "balance" the state's budget. This would be a rough equivalent to you withholding payment to the phone company so you can pay your credit card and tell people you don't have any debt. That's the way the State of Indiana used to work, but not anymore.

  • Voter ID law is good for families

    Last week I had the opportunity to interview Indiana Secretary of State, Todd Rokita about the recent Supreme Court decision upholding Indiana's voter ID law and what that might mean for Indiana families.  We had a frank and open discussion that merits mentioning.

    When I asked Secretary of State Rokita what he had to say to families who may have had their votes offset by others voting illegally in past elections, he told me that the "Photo ID law protects the family from being disenfranchised."  He went on to say that thanks to the recent Supreme Court decision upholding the voter ID law, "Their vote won't be stolen by someone who cheats the system."
