Today, a standoff that has lasted for five weeks between Democrats and Republicans in the Indiana State House has finally reached a satisfactory resolution. Democrats have continuously denied Republicans the 2/3rds quorum required to move forward with any official business since February 22nd. Now, at last, the Republicans conceded the more contentious parts of their agenda in order for the Democrats to return and forward business. The school voucher bill was scaled down, private firms will not be allowed to privatize any schools, right-to-work is dead, and Mitch Daniels' executive order against public sector collective bargaining will not be codified.
More below the fold.
