4 thoughts on “Michael A. Carroll Award winner: Daniels still aiming higher, no matter the role

  1. Holey socks and all…Honored to have served with Mitch Daniels during his time at Purdue University.

    During our time at Purdue, Mitch and I both worked out over lunch. His locker at the France A. Córdova Recreational Sports Center – Purdue Co-Rec Center was near mine.

    One day I was frantically searching around for a pair of socks so I could complete my workout, but had forgotten to pack them.

    Mitch looked and asked what was the matter. I told him my problem. He handed me a pair and said he always carries extra. After kiddingly affirming they were a clean pair, I gladly accepted.

    It is no surprise to anyone that knows Mitch well that one of the socks had a hole in the heel as his frugalness does not just apply to his work!

    I went to Walmart that night and picked up new socks for him and threw the pair with the hole away. When I gave them to him the next day, he remarked that the old pair still had some good use left in them!

  2. No doubt about it, Daniels was a fine leader during his time in government service. If vote for him again if he ever ran for office.

    The only bone I have to pick with him stems from his first campaign for governor. At the time, Indiana was not on daylight savings time and the rebate was raging as to whether Indiana should be and if so, what time zone.

    When asked his position, Daniels as he was won’t to do in controversial issues, sidestepped the issue. Instead he promised that if elected he would hold a statewide referendum on the question of daylight savings and what time zone the state should be in.

    After getting elected, Daniels made a unilateral decision to adopt daylight savings and to put Indiana in the Eastern time zone. Although he explained his reasons for doing so, he never explained why he had abandoned his campaign promise.

    Perhaps Daniels’ biographer will ask him why he abandoned this campaign promise. I’d buy the book just to learn what really happened.

    1. Time for a Civics lesson (again):

      Referenda aren’t scheduled by the Governor. They’re legislatively-controlled. Typically (Constitutionally?) only conducted over Const. Amendments.

      And this is a dumb subject on which to hold a referendum.

  3. I’m very happy about this. He appears to have done so much good as governor, then president of Purdue. I say appears only because I figure someone is going to dig into his personal life and expose something that is NONE of our business. Yeah, Mitch….keep it up.
