IHETS provides Web-based streaming for Governor Daniels' State of the State address

INDIANAPOLIS—In his first State of the State address, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels spoke plainly to Hoosiers about his goals for his first term in office. In cooperation with representatives from the governor's office, the Indiana Higher Education Telecommunication System (IHETS) provided live video streaming and archiving of Daniels' address to make the event accessible online. The archived video from IHETS is available in both Windows Media and Real Player formats. "Let me sum things up: Our state's economy is too weak, too narrowly based, and too often impeded by the very state government that should be its chief advocate and promoter," Daniels said. "That state government is too expensive, too antique in its practices, too indifferent to real, provable results and, in place after place after place, too slow." General cost-cutting measures are part of Daniels' plans, as are a state spending freeze and a one-percent, one-time tax increase for those with incomes of $100,000 or more. Daniels also discussed his plans for daylight savings time, replacing the Department of Commerce with a public-private action agency, K-12 and postsecondary education, healthcare, and other services.
