Fort Wayne’s careful financial planning has put it in a position for growth and success, according to its chief executive.INDIANAPOLIS – Gov. Mitch Daniels’ time in the national spotlight continues Saturday when he delivers the weekly Republican national address.
House Republican Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, announced the news today, and the speech was recorded Wednesday morning in Daniels’ Statehouse office.
“Gov. Daniels has emerged as one of our nation’s leading voices for reform and common sense in government. I’m very pleased he’ll be delivering the national GOP address as Congress prepares to vote on misguided legislation that imposes a new national tax on energy,” Boehner said.
“The American people know there’s a better way to get to clean, affordable energy, and in Congress and in state capitals across the nation, reformers like Governor Daniels are advocating these better solutions.”
The address will cap a weeklong nationwide energy reform tour spearheaded by congressional Republicans, who are calling for comprehensive energy reform as an alternative to the new national “cap-and-trade” energy tax advocated by Democrats.
Daniels’ speech comes on the heels of a magazine cover for the conservative National Review, which used a caricature of the governor wielding swords and the title: “Governor Mitch Daniels – Indiana’s exemplary conservative reformer.”
Despite the recent increase in national recognition, including other columns and articles, Daniels continues to say he is done running for elected office.
