The Indiana Supreme Court says Gov. Mitch Daniels doesn't have to answer questions under oath in a $400 million lawsuit
that the state filed against IBM Corp. after he canceled a state contract with the company.
The court issued ruled Monday afternoon, just hours after hearing arguments from lawyers for the state and IBM on whether
a state law prohibiting governors from facing a court subpoena applied in the two sides' counter lawsuits over the canceled,
nearly $1.4 billion contract to process welfare applications.
The court's 5-0 order reverses a Marion County judge's ruling that the law didn't protect Daniels from being
deposed by IBM's lawyers.
The trial in the case is scheduled to start Feb. 27.

Cats out of the bag. The object of the game is to get acquired. That means the company has no idea how to grow beyond a certain point. Email is a 1990s technology. I have laughed at this company since day one. Such a small bit player. If it was anywhere but here, it wouldn't be newsworthy.

Esther, Indy has passed Chicago in the local government corruption arena. Don't downgrade us. We're No. 1 in the Midwest.

Does the buyer get to keep the recent Accu-Chek J.D. Power award? Be careful, those Swiss cannot be trusted. Last June they pimped Mayor Ballard and former Governor Daniels at a media op, announcing plans to invest "$300 million at its Indianapolis headquarters, creating up to 100 new jobs by 2017," only to turn around and close the Roche Nutley, NJ facility and eliminate 1000 jobs there later the same week. It seems that healthcare can be innovated only as long as money is to be made. Right now Roche seems to have big eyes for China: there are many Chinese in China and potential billions in Swiss francs! Since Roche is having difficulty with US insurance companies swallowing the bill for overpriced cancer drugs (with debatable efficacy) why not sell insurance to the Chinese and market the drugs to them there? There is a name for these sort of business practices however proper decorum precludes it use in this forum.

Same kind of Luddites who oppose I-69. Guessing their 501(c)(4) application probably sailed right through the IRS.

Let's see, he was able to enter into a lucrative lease for the toll roads that enabled Indiana to continue building roads instead of cutting back (keeping Hoosier's employed by the way), he protected the rights of Hoosier workers from being forced into slave union labor, what else.. oh - he has managed to balance the budget keeping it in the black for the last 7 years.
From the leftist skewed position he has indeed gotten away with too much - so much that it makes the dems look like preschoolers at a physicists convention.
Perhaps that's why he won't run for President... Unlike in Indiana, he's being compassionate to his would-be predecessors.
