Dems seeks limits to privatization powers

State Democrats made a lot of noise last year but could do little to derail the billion dollar ideas of Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels. ….. But Democrats now have control of the Indiana House and could try to use their new power to block the GOP governor. One measure, for instance, could put the brakes on a pair of privately financed tollways Daniels wants to build -- the Illiana Expressway in Northwest Indiana and the Indiana Commerce Connector south of Indianapolis. House Bill 1062 also could nix a Hoosier Lottery lease -- another Daniels proposal promising a $1 billion bounty.
