"Growing up on my family's farm, my parents instilled in my brothers and me a healthy respect for the environment. We learned very early on that for the long term success of our farm, we had to protect and care for the land, water and air. Sadly, today we have a Governor that does not share those values.
Time after time, Governor Daniels has chosen to ignore environmental considerations when making decisions about the future of the state.
As we celebrate Earth Day, it's important that Hoosiers demand leadership that balances our economic and environmental needs - because we shouldn't be forced to sacrifice one for the other.
That's why as Governor, I will encourage businesses to invest in "green" technology and jobs, promote renewable energy and hold companies that violate our environmental standards accountable. I believe that to build the type of state we all want Indiana to be, we must continue to work together to not only grow and attract good-paying jobs, but to protect and improve the environment and our quality of life."
