The halls of the Statehouse cleared out this week after sine die.  Of the 161 that were sent to the governor—78 bills from the House and 83 bills from the Senate, Governor Daniels has signed 86 to date. 

Today, at 11:30 am, Governor Daniels announced Senator Connie Lawson from Danville will be the new Secretary of State.  The Indiana Supreme Court yesterday held that the Governor would have the power to appoint the position to replace Charlie White.  Senator Lawson is only the second woman to hold the office in Indiana.
