Is Wikipedia on a first-name basis with the Governor? Referring to him as "Mitch" seems informal and possibly disrespectful. -- Malathion 30 June 2005 04:10 (UTC)
That is intentional. It is supposed to be informal, to make you deel closer to him. Similar "I like Ike." I added the bits about tenderloins and Frank O'bannon, as well as a link to mymanmitch.com, and edited away slight POV in the midnight rider section (mostly just word choice, like "added" instead of "slipped in"). Apfox 15:16, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
His election campaign slogan was "My Man Mitch"; he is often referred to as "Mitch" by a variety of sources. Don't know about dictionaries, though. -- 147.226.157.75 18:50, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Is there is any credible evidence pointing to truth in the line, "A first-generation Arab-American of Syrian descent"? I don't consider NNDB a credible source. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Reidhoch ( talk • contribs) 17:26, 31 January 2007 (UTC).
Whether he was born in Pennsylvania or Indiana, he could not then be a "first generation" Arab American. Along those same lines, unless someone can show that his parents immigrated from Arabia, how could anyone say that he is even a second generation "Arab-American"? If he does indeed have any Syrian heritage, would he not be a "Syrian-American"?
The article actually says the his is the "grandson" of Syrian immigrants so, if the information is correct, he would be 2nd generation... —Preceding

Is anyone aware of a good biographical article or book on Daniels? He has a sketch in a couple books I have, and there are a few online articles that are cursory at best. Governor's of Indiana, by Gugin, has the best sketch I found, but its from 2006, and only covers two years of his governorship. I would like to find a good bio to expand this article in a more comprehensive way, its kinda hodge podge now. — Charles Edward ( Talk | Contribs) 14:03, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
In the article it says he was born in Middlebury Indiana, and in his governor box it says her was born in Pennsylvania. Which is it?
Daniels was an undergraduate during the hot years of the biggest war of his lifetime --Vietnam. The two biggest issues of that era, for any healthy male, were the draft and Vietnam. Yet the article is silent on this. Daniels now seeks public service. Did he seek public service during the Vietnam War? This is an extremely relevant question for any public servant.
I think the section on 2012 Presidential Speculation should, at the very least, be in prose as opposed to list form, per Wikipedia's Manual of Style. I also think the information in said list is generally unhelpful as is. Cleanup of the section is requested, in addition to expansion of the section in some more informative way. Jymlarin ( talk) 01:00, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
A section was added to describe Daniels comments about the situation in Wisconsis. I have reworked the section to refocus it on the legislative walkouts in Indiana. I think his comments about Wisconsis are not particularly relevant to the article and may constitute undue weight. I believe they should be moved to the article about the Wisconsis situation, if kept at all. Frankly every person in teh nation has states some opinion about the Wisconsis situation, I don't think we should bother to include every tidle. If there is no disagreement, I will shortly remove the paragraph in question. — Charles Edward ( Talk | Contribs) 13:56, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
The paragraph on Daniels' marijuana use history is perhaps now too long. I think that just mentioning the arrest and fine should be sufficient for an encyclopedia's personal history sketch. However, I can see how it may be of interest to include some of his later commentary on the incident, as well as others' critical commentary. Thoughts? DDennisM ( talk) 20:11, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
In his interview with the Weekly Standard [2], Daniels again complained of those who blamed him for saying that the entire Iraq war was supposed to cost only $75 billion.
Obviously, this is a silly accusation since no one can possibly produce an estimate of total costs for a war whose duration is unknown and open-ended.
So I "straightened out" Wikipedia.
I did include the real highlight of his work for Lilly, the fight against Scientology over Prozac. I decided to avoid using the word 'Scientology' on the public page since I'm not here to pick fights with those folks. They have every right to oppose Prozac and psychiatric drugs and to expose them, Lilly has every right to defend their product(s) in court and the media.
Daniels' work at Lilly and the size of his cashout seemed more relevant since we quite often don't know the actual size of the personal fortunes of these politicians or their source. For instance, Hillary Clinton sitting on the board of Walmart, an Arkansas corporation. Or Rahm Emmanuel and his supposed banking expertise. The list of these pols and their revolving doors to corporate America is endless. Daniels did at least do some identifiable work to earn his money from Lilly. And it seems cogent to point out that he is now independently wealthy but has divested from Lilly stock. It will raise questions about how unbiased Daniels may be in any dispute involving Big Pharma. We need more info on where the pols have made so much money. Wardraw ( talk) 15:26, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
"His high grades allowed him to gain entry to Georgetown University Law Center where earned a Juris Doctor with Honors from Georgetown University Law Center.[6]" Do we really need to mention the Law Center twice in the same sentence? Wouldn't it sound better to say, "His high grades allowed him to gain entry to Georgetown University Law Center where earned a Juris Doctor with Honors.[6]" ? Thank you. 114.148.226.183 ( talk) 11:04, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
The paragraph on daylight savings time says all of Indiana has the same time except the northwest corner. That is incorrect. The northwest and southwest corners both are in CST and CDT, not EST and EDT.

"The same day, he decertified all government employee unions by executive order, removing the requirement that State employees be union members, a requirement that had been in place since Governor Evan Bayh required by executive order in 1989.[26]"
This statement is incorrect. The Executive Order that Bayh passed did not require employees to join the union, nor were they ever required to join. Also, the order was passed in 1990 so it is pretty much factually incorrect. Here is the link to Executive Order 03-35, which reprints the original executive order and extends it during Kernan's governing time period. They were required to pay at most 85% of union dues due to courtcase Nass v State, which I am also including a link to. However they were not technically members of the union simply covered by their collective bargaining agreements.
I would alter it myself, however I'm unfamiliar with creating footnotes with Wikipedia. 75.107.155.40 ( talk) 04:47, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

The quote cross referenced to Wall Street Journal article: "A consumption tax on a product you'd just as soon have less of doesn't violate the rules I learned under Ronald Reagan" seems incorrect. Does anyone have access to WSJ archives to verify? Brijesh 15:59, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

I have no idea how to edit on Wikipedia, but noticed a couple of glaring errors in this article that someone should fix. The description of the Daylight Saving Time debate during the first term is completely inaccurate. For one thing, the article states that Indiana was in the Eastern Time Zone but informally observed two time zones. Most of Indiana was (and remains) in the Eastern Time Zone but several counties in the northwest and southwest are in the Central Time Zone. Prior to Indiana adopting DST by statute, some Southern and Southeastern counties near Cincinnati and Louisville informally followed Eastern Daylight Time. Thus, Indiana was informally on THREE time zones, not two. The article also implies that the generally assembly could not come to terms on the time zone issue. The Indiana General Assembly did not have authority to change Indiana's time zones - that is at the discretion of the US Department of Transportation. After Indiana enacted DST, the USDOT did hold hearings in Indiana and determined appropriate time zones - most of Indiana remaining in the Eastern Time Zone and counties in the NW and SW corners remaining on Central Time.
Regarding the description of the second term and the House Democrat walkout to Illinois, the article states that both the House and Senate had super-majorities. I think what the author probably meant to say was that the Senate Republicans had a super-majority and the House Republicans had REGAINED a majority (not a super-majority) in the 2010 election. Obviously, if House Republicans had a super-majority in 2011, the Democrat walkout would have been moot because it would not have denied a quorum to do business. The House Republicans gained a super-majority in the 2012 election, after the 2012 session in which the Right to Work bill was passed.
I have no references to cite other than first hand knowledge, but I was intimately involved in both issues.
I hope someone with the appropriate editing skills and knowledge will edit these sections. 99.49.62.238 ( talk) 15:15, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

There is no serious "Danielsism." At best, in 2011 there were a couple of conservative pundits who used the term as a way of promoting Daniels as a presidential candidate, but nothing has been written about this "perspective" since 2011. The word is a a vanity term that does not meet eligibility criteria for Wikipedia. AoS XseedX ( talk) 05:17, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

If there is no disagreement, I will shortly remove the paragraph in question. — Charles Edward ( Talk | Contribs) 13:56, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
The paragraph on Daniels' marijuana use history is perhaps now too long. I think that just mentioning the arrest and fine should be sufficient for an encyclopedia's personal history sketch. However, I can see how it may be of interest to include some of his later commentary on the incident, as well as others' critical commentary. Thoughts? DDennisM ( talk) 20:11, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
In his interview with the Weekly Standard [2], Daniels again complained of those who blamed him for saying that the entire Iraq war was supposed to cost only $75 billion.
Obviously, this is a silly accusation since no one can possibly produce an estimate of total costs for a war whose duration is unknown and open-ended.
So I "straightened out" Wikipedia.
I did include the real highlight of his work for Lilly, the fight against Scientology over Prozac. I decided to avoid using the word 'Scientology' on the public page since I'm not here to pick fights with those folks. They have every right to oppose Prozac and psychiatric drugs and to expose them, Lilly has every right to defend their product(s) in court and the media.
Daniels' work at Lilly and the size of his cashout seemed more relevant since we quite often don't know the actual size of the personal fortunes of these politicians or their source. For instance, Hillary Clinton sitting on the board of Walmart, an Arkansas corporation. Or Rahm Emmanuel and his supposed banking expertise. The list of these pols and their revolving doors to corporate America is endless. Daniels did at least do some identifiable work to earn his money from Lilly. And it seems cogent to point out that he is now independently wealthy but has divested from Lilly stock. It will raise questions about how unbiased Daniels may be in any dispute involving Big Pharma. We need more info on where the pols have made so much money. Wardraw ( talk) 15:26, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
"His high grades allowed him to gain entry to Georgetown University Law Center where earned a Juris Doctor with Honors from Georgetown University Law Center.[6]" Do we really need to mention the Law Center twice in the same sentence? Wouldn't it sound better to say, "His high grades allowed him to gain entry to Georgetown University Law Center where earned a Juris Doctor with Honors.[6]" ? Thank you. 114.148.226.183 ( talk) 11:04, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
The paragraph on daylight savings time says all of Indiana has the same time except the northwest corner. That is incorrect. The northwest and southwest corners both are in CST and CDT, not EST and EDT.

"The same day, he decertified all government employee unions by executive order, removing the requirement that State employees be union members, a requirement that had been in place since Governor Evan Bayh required by executive order in 1989.[26]"
This statement is incorrect. The Executive Order that Bayh passed did not require employees to join the union, nor were they ever required to join. Also, the order was passed in 1990 so it is pretty much factually incorrect. Here is the link to Executive Order 03-35, which reprints the original executive order and extends it during Kernan's governing time period. They were required to pay at most 85% of union dues due to courtcase Nass v State, which I am also including a link to. However they were not technically members of the union simply covered by their collective bargaining agreements.
I would alter it myself, however I'm unfamiliar with creating footnotes with Wikipedia. 75.107.155.40 ( talk) 04:47, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Not much here on Daniels' personal life. It's certainly not separated out as its own section as it is on many other places on this site.

I have no idea how to edit on Wikipedia, but noticed a couple of glaring errors in this article that someone should fix. The description of the Daylight Saving Time debate during the first term is completely inaccurate. For one thing, the article states that Indiana was in the Eastern Time Zone but informally observed two time zones. Most of Indiana was (and remains) in the Eastern Time Zone but several counties in the northwest and southwest are in the Central Time Zone. Prior to Indiana adopting DST by statute, some Southern and Southeastern counties near Cincinnati and Louisville informally followed Eastern Daylight Time. Thus, Indiana was informally on THREE time zones, not two. The article also implies that the generally assembly could not come to terms on the time zone issue. The Indiana General Assembly did not have authority to change Indiana's time zones - that is at the discretion of the US Department of Transportation. After Indiana enacted DST, the USDOT did hold hearings in Indiana and determined appropriate time zones - most of Indiana remaining in the Eastern Time Zone and counties in the NW and SW corners remaining on Central Time.
Regarding the description of the second term and the House Democrat walkout to Illinois, the article states that both the House and Senate had super-majorities. I think what the author probably meant to say was that the Senate Republicans had a super-majority and the House Republicans had REGAINED a majority (not a super-majority) in the 2010 election. Obviously, if House Republicans had a super-majority in 2011, the Democrat walkout would have been moot because it would not have denied a quorum to do business. The House Republicans gained a super-majority in the 2012 election, after the 2012 session in which the Right to Work bill was passed.
I have no references to cite other than first hand knowledge, but I was intimately involved in both issues.
I hope someone with the appropriate editing skills and knowledge will edit these sections. 99.49.62.238 ( talk) 15:15, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Hey I originally posted this back in May but see no one has done anything with it. I wish I knew how to edit this myself. Makes me question the veracity of anything on Wikipedia.

There is no serious "Danielsism." At best, in 2011 there were a couple of conservative pundits who used the term as a way of promoting Daniels as a presidential candidate, but nothing has been written about this "perspective" since 2011. The word is a a vanity term that does not meet eligibility criteria for Wikipedia. AoS XseedX ( talk) 05:17, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
