At such an exciting time in the history of our community and our state, there are many topics on the minds of Hoosiers. Unfortunately, we don't always have an opportunity to easily ask those in charge of making the crucial decisions...until last night. 
Governor Mitch Daniels arrived in Whitley County late yesterday afternoon to present a Sagamore of the Wabash Award to Elmer Heinley and to attend the Whitley County Republican Party's annual Lincoln Day Dinner at the Eagle's Nest Event Center in Columbia City.
Following the dinner, Talk of the Town had the unique opportunity to speak privately with Governor Mitch Daniels and ask some important questions put forth by several of our readers. These questions were compiled over the course of several days. The link below is a recording of our interview with Governor Daniels.

In a separate interview, Daniels also answered several questions presented by Nicole Thompson's first and second grade students at Faith Christian Academy. The class also wrote letters to the Governor which were provided to him at the dinner. The students were curious whether it was fun to be Governor and what they might have to do to one day become Governor of Indiana. Additionally, several of the students invited the Governor to stay at their homes.
