Daniels adds to privatization clash

Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels delivered a return volley this week in a rhetorical feud with Democrats regarding efforts to privatize state services and infrastructure. Daniels advocates business-like solutions to state problems, pointing to the $3.8-billion Indiana Toll Road lease that brought a windfall this year for transportation funding. But Democrats argue the governor is too quick to prescribe private-sector remedies -- a difference of opinion expected to loom large in next year's legislative session.
