Indiana Government - Daniels to keep I-69 on fast track
"Daniels to keep I-69 on fast track" is the headline to this story today in the Evansville Courier & Press. Some quotes:
INDIANAPOLIS - While Republican Mitch Daniels won a decisive Election Day victory with promises to change much in state government, one thing he won't set a new course for is the general direction of Interstate 69 planning. * * *But changes most likely are not in store. Ellen Whitt, the spokeswoman for Daniels' transition team and soon to be his deputy chief of staff, said Daniels isn't interested in anything that would slow down the process.
"Mitch will continue to move forward with the current process," Whitt said. "If in the midst of it there was a way to identify steps to speed things up, he'd be very interested in that."
Whitt said Daniels also backs current INDOT plans to begin construction at the southern end of the route. Daniels is still interested in changing the northern end of the road to move it from Indiana 37 west closer to the Indianapolis airport, Whitt said.
"But again only if there's a way to do it without slowing progress on the road," Whitt said.
