Governor Mitch Daniels on Reforming Government

[youtube 3PSN3Tmj5Ac]

Last week, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels (R-IN) reviewed the reforms Indiana has instituted since he took office in a wide-ranging speech at The Heritage Foundation. From education reform to challenging public employee unions, Daniels has strived to make government work well. In an interview following his speech, Daniels discussed the reforms he made to state government, the Democrats’ walkout from the legislature this year, and what the federal government can learn from Indiana.

And the effort seems to have paid off. As we discussed in the interview, a recent Manhattan Institute poll revealed that 77 percent of Hoosiers rate Indiana’s government as “efficient.” That’s the highest percentage of any state surveyed and a stark contrast to neighboring Illinois’ 23 percent.

The interview runs about 6 minutes. Hosted by Rob Bluey and produced by Brandon Stewart, with help from Hannah Sternberg. For more videos from Heritage, subscribe to our YouTube channel.
