Yesterday, in an effort to block Right-to-Work legislation here in Indiana, most of the House Democrat legislators in the General Assembly have left Indiana to another state, namely one with a Democrat Governor so as to prevent being returned to Indiana (according to The Indianapolis Star).
Just like Senate Democrats in Wisconsin, Indiana House Democrats, led by Pat Bauer, are resorting to desperate measures to thwart good legislation, to the joy of their union masters. Unfortunately, unlike Wisconsin's Governor Scott Walker, Governor Mitch Daniels hasn't exactly shown a will to fight this battle with the Democrats, stating his opinion the Right-to-Work legislation should've been decided at a later time.
Now may not have been the right time for the legislation to be decided on, since our economic situation is not as dire as in Wisconsin and there are other matters needed to be dealt with here in Indiana, but the battle over the right to work has begun here in Indiana, whether Governor Daniels likes it or not, and he should stand with Speaker Brian Bosma and the Republican members of the House. If the good guys in this fight back down now, Democrats could resort to similar measures on other bills they deeply oppose but cannot stop.
