I was working three jobs after a brief period of unemployment (Indiana coughed), and trying to hold onto the one I have today so I could secure medical benefits because I was sick all the time.

Further, the biggest bugaboo in Indiana has always been deficits. Aren't the local media covering this $636 million dollar drop? The last Republican governor they had almost had his head bit off by activists in his own party for demanding a two cent raise in the sales tax, then ending up with a surplus the following year. The media, even the "God's on our masthead" Indianapolis Star, is going to let this go by unchallenged?
