INDIANAPOLIS - U.S. Rep. Mike Pence was set to begin a statewide "listening" tour as Hoosiers wait to hear more specific ideas from the Republican gubernatorial hopeful.
Pence planned to crisscross the state Thursday and Friday, stopping at Indiana businesses to talk with workers. He has previously said he would lay out his agenda after state lawmakers ended their 2012 session. They finished their work last week.
Pence spokesman Matt Lloyd declined Wednesday to say whether specific proposals would be laid out soon, but Pence hinted in his press statement that a jobs plan is forthcoming.
"As we work to put the finishing touches on our jobs plan, I believe it is essential that we first listen to Hoosiers who are creating jobs in the city and on the farm," Pence said.
Pence previously said he wants to cut the state's sales and income taxes. He also told the Journal-Gazette of Fort Wayne that he would like to expand the state's charter school and school voucher programs and is considering cutting down the time before the state can take over a failing school.
