Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels
Welp, looks like Mitch Daniels stepped in it.
The Indiana governor held a press conference on Monday to reflect on accomplishments made in the latest legislative session. He talked about getting approval for full-day kindergarten, a smoking ban and a new agreement to have Amazon collect Indiana sales tax. He also talked about Right to Work, the most controversial, and significant, change in Indiana law in the past year.
Daniels said, after passing Right to Work, three companies have decided to expand their business in Indiana. Only one company, the MBC Group, has been identified publicly. Daniels said even more companies are in negotiations with the state, thanks to Right to Work.
“I probably underestimated how important an addition to our already excellent business climate this was going to be,” Daniels said during the press conference.
There’s just one thing: the one company Daniels named that expanded because of Right to Work didn’t actually expand because of Right to Work.
