  • During Daniels' tenure as governor, state spending rose 10 percent, according to the Cato Institute.[2]
  • Daniels signed a contract with IBM to take over enrollment for welfare recipients. After complaints about quality, he terminated the contract and returned control to the state.[3]
  • In 2005, Daniels replaced the Indiana Department of Commerce with a public private partnership organization called the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). The partnership is composed of a board and the chair is the governor-elect.[4]
  • While director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget under George W. Bush, Daniels was highly critical of congressional budget spending. Daniels is quoted as having said that Congress was responsible for turning a $236 billion annual surplus into a $400 billion deficit within two years, according to Politico.[6]
