http://www.nwi.com/articles/2008/08/29/ ... 1f0.txtThe "bottom line is Indiana has "way too many politicians, way too many jurisdictions, way too many everything." There are more than 80 layers of government in Lake County alone.
Daniels feels so strongly about this that he is going to push hard to bring those numbers down, even though he acknowledges that of the 11,000 or so elected officials, "probably 70+ percent of them are from my own party."
I'll be asking Daniels' opponent, Democrat Jill Long Thompson, these questions when The Times editorial board meets with her again.
But I won't make you wait for my answer: Indiana needs a radical new structure for local government that allows for less expensive, more efficient, more nimble service to the citizens."
