Right-to-Work 
Passing a Right-to-Work law is the single most important step Indiana can take to create jobs and grow our economy. Legislative leaders have declared passing a RTW law their top-priority for the 2012 legislative session.
According to site selection experts, between one-third and nearly half of the companies looking for a location won’t even consider non right-to-work states for their business growth and expansion plans. So Indiana is automatically out of the running in far too many instances. Right-to-work states are much more competitive for attracting jobs, have higher economic growth rates and faster increases in per capita income. By a 3 to 1 margin, Hoosiers overwhelmingly support adoption of a right-to-work law in Indiana. For more information on RTW, visit www.MoreHoosierJobs.com.

Local Government Reform
The Indiana Senate is preparing to vote on important government reform legislation to give counties more options. Senate Bill 110 would allow counties to reorganize their government structure, including replacing three (3) member county commissions with a single county commissioner. This single administrator is similar to other levels of government in which presidents, governors and mayors lead the executive branch.
