Good job, Governor Daniels, Rep. Jerry Torr (R-Carmel), House Speaker Brian C. Bosma (R-Indianapolis), et al.!
After over 40 hours of testimony, debate, and discussion over the past year House Bill (HB) 1001, Employee’s Right to Work passed the Indiana House of Representatives last week and today passed the State Senate. The final step, which is expected to occur today, is having the Governor sign the bill into law. HB 1001 will now make Indiana the nation’s 23rd Right to Work state, and the first state in the industrial Midwest to become a Right to Work state.
[…]
Indiana will now be the first Right to Work state in the nation that does not have a Right to Work state on its border.
“Despite the success that we have had in job creation, we needed to take this last step in order to kick job creation to its highest gear. We are in the heart of the industrial Midwest and we are already getting looks from employers in Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois and other states due to the passage of this legislation,” said Speaker Bosma. “I announced that our number one priority this session was to bring jobs to Indiana and the passing of this bill has resulted in a victory for all Hoosiers.”
More like this, please.
Just in time for the Superbowl.
The only carnage I want to see is on the field.
leigh, I think the Governor of Illinois has promised that commercial carnage will be taking place in his state, in contradistinction to that benighted bunch of hicktards next door. Oh, wait, check that: he says Illinois won’t be seeing jobs moving from Illinois elsewhere! bwahahahahah.
Heh. He may have to revisit that. Indiana is suburban Chi, after all.
that beats the shit out of uniting to save the safety net any day I think good job Mr. Daniels
The final step, which is expected to occur today, is having the Governor sign the bill into law.
Why today? He should do it Sunday on the 50-yard line. ‘Twould beat the hell out of whatever Madonna has to share.
The Fitzgerald brothers and Scott Walker should pencil this in for right after the recall election.
New Hampshire trying again:

Boy, am I proud. My first link.
Jeff, does this mean I have to contribute more to your strong-arm hostage-taking every month?
Of course not.
It’s all voluntary. Like, eg., voting for Saddam or Kim Jong-Il used to be.
Mark Levin visits Ricochet. Let ‘er load, then pull the slider over to about 12:30 in or so.
if only Weimar had had such a visionary leader history may have unfolded very differently
a position sharply at odds with traditional GOP business allies, conservatives and the party’s senior lawmakers
…or anyone with a fucking brain.
I thought this Romney dude was supposed to be all businessy ‘n’ shit. Clearly he skipped over that whole “supply and demand” thing, which I’m pretty sure still comes up now and then in the business world.
No worries for Illinois and the others. Obama’s NLRB will ensure that no unionized companies can move their operations to Indiana or even build new plants there.
OK, Kim Jong Jeff, you win. My tribute is forthcoming.
Arizona laughs at Indiana’s puny right to work law.
Sweeping bills attack public employee unions
Seriously, congrats Hoosiers. Y’all done good.
Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney renewed his support Wednesday for automatic increases in the federal minimum wage to keep pace with inflation
I guess that’s the kind of thing you do to prove that you do care about the poor after all.
Romney cares so much about the poor he wants to create more of them by continuously raising the minimum wage.
He learned that trick from Teddy Kennedy.
I guess Gov. Brewer punches back twice as hard.
