US Senator Dan Coats was in Columbia City Tuesday to talk with local residents as part of a northern Indiana town hall tour, above. "I think our country is desperately on the wrong track," Coats said. "We're spending way to much money in Washington." Coats talked about how six years ago, Indiana was a "bloated, ineffective state" and how that has changed under the Daniels administration. "Unemployment is still high, but your county is one fo the highest growth counties in the state," he said. "We've done it in Indiana. We've got to trim down the things that are inefficient and ineffective. Government plays a role in a number of things, but in Washington, government plays a role in too many things."
