Ind. Gov't. - Indiana government earns C+

"Indiana government earns C+" is the headline to an AP story today in several Indiana papers. And the grades range from A to C-, not A to F. Some quotes:

INDIANAPOLIS - A new study that graded how well each state is managed gave Indiana's government an overall C+ and faulted officials for largely failing to plan beyond the two-year budget cycle.

The report was released today by the Government Performance Project of the University of Richmond that was funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts, an independent, nonpartisan group. It awarded letter grades to each state on how it handled finances, personnel, infrastructure and modern information systems through the downturn, plus an overall grade. Alabama and California scored the worst, each with a C- overall.
