Gov. Mitch Daniels spoke today at Ball State University on a variety of topics dictated by questions from the audience.
A diverse crowd of a few hundred people from the Ball State and Muncie communities asked questions about budget cuts for education, property taxes, health care and sustainable energy among others. Daniels spoke for a few minutes before opening up to questions.
He apologized for having to reschedule the event, originally set for January.
"Thank you for being here," Daniels said. "Thank you for your commitment to education ... You are simultaneously doing the best thing for your state and setting a great example."
He warned students of "two significant, sobering realities" they will face upon graduation: brutal international competition for jobs and having to clean up the messes of earlier generations.
"If we don't summon the gumption to do it, I guess you'll have to," he said, "and it will have to happen."
