ahead believe folks pay treasury
Folks at Treasury believe that some folks will go ahead and pay it (this year) anyway, ... Didn't get the memo, I guess, but that's the answer.
answer believe coming dramatic provide relief state straight
A straight answer now is that I don't believe it would be a responsible step, ... The state is still coming out of bankruptcy, and it would not provide dramatic relief to any individual.
believe competition county created effective firm government hired house jobs kentucky looking million paying run saved services view year
Yes, we hired an out-of-state firm to run it, but it created 300 jobs in a hard-hit county and saved us $6 million a year we were paying to Kentucky to house our prisoners, ... I have no theological view about privatization, but I believe we should look at competition or contracting when looking at services the government should be providing. What is the most effective way?
believer confess failure fervent original sad state
I confess I was an original fervent believer in this concept, ... I was sad to see it has been a failure in the state of Indiana.
believe government benefits
We believe that government works for the benefit of private life, and not the other way around.
believe dollars citizens
We believe it wrong ever to take a dollar from a free citizen without a very necessary public purpose, because each such taking diminishes the freedom to spend that dollar as its owner would prefer.

If we don't believe in Americans, who will? I do believe. I've seen it in the people of our very typical corner of the nation.
believe issues indiana
I believe that the Right to Work issue is a perfectly appropriate one for Indiana to look at.
believe drawing balance
We are tasked to rebuild not just a damaged economy, and a debt-ridden balance sheet, but to do so by drawing forth the best that is in our fellow citizens. If we would summon the best from Americans, we must assume the best about them. If we don't believe in Americans, who will?
children believe government
I certainly believe in limited government but protecting children against injury abuse is certainly inside my sphere of things that the government should do.
jobs believe recovery
The president's grand experiment in trickle-down government has held back rather than sped economic recovery. He seems to sincerely believe we can build a middle class out of government jobs paid for with borrowed dollars.
believe ignorance cutting
We Hoosiers hold to some quaint notions. Some might say we 'cling' to them, though not out of fear or ignorance. We believe in paying our bills. We have kept our state in the black throughout the recent unpleasantness, while cutting rather than raising taxes, by practicing an old tribal ritual - we spend less money than we take in.
changed good point practice
I've said often that I think the practice is not a good practice. Just because I've changed seats, it hasn't changed my point of view.
needs serious state
The state of our state needs serious attention.
