Governor Braun marks 100 days in office and shows important priorities

Indianapolis – Governor Mike Braun celebrated his 100th day on Tuesday as the best elected official from Indiana and spoke the press and state legislators about the progress and future ambitions of his government.

In his comments, Braun emphasized his commitment to move the state in a positive direction. He added that his focus will now be on the reduction in health costs and the better results. The state budget made considerable reductions for public health throughout the state. He says public health can be more efficient.

“So there is always this misguided idea that you have to spend more,” said Governor Braun. “In the end I spent 65 percent less in my own insurance plan. And we have not had an increase in premiums since then and have better employees because I found out entrepreneurially. Never do they have to have more money to do things better with the anti-productivity mentioned.”

The governor described his first 100 days as productive, especially as the work of the legislator of legislation to emphasize. He claimed that the legislative session was treated effectively with this political question at least for the time being.

“Take a look at the product that we emphasized when you annoy people at both ends of the spectrum, and most in between say it said that it was a solid package,” added Braun.

In a remarkable step late at the meeting, Braun received the authority to appoint three members to the Board of Trustees of Indiana University, a position previously occupied by alumni elections. Braun said that the change was necessary due to the low participation rates in Alumni in the election process. He said he didn't ask about the change and the President of the University did not.

“It wasn't representative,” said Braun. “A clique of some people made it possible to determine three board members. I don't think this is a real representation.”

The governor says he will allow the three elected members of the Alumni board of trustees until their term of office stays on the board. He did not mention who he wants to replace them.

Braun also spoke controversial comments from Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith, who was exposed to the Indiana Black Legislative Caucus and the affected clergymen who agreed to his views on the three fifth compromises. They asked brown to denounce Beckwith's statements.

“I would not have used this characterization, and I don't like it. I think they think better before it comes out,” replied Braun. “I will leave it. I think you don't want to go wrong because it takes away the substance of what it generally try. That will be the end of my comment.”

Although Beckwith took part in the press event, he did not speak and did not sit next to the governor. As for the state budget, Braun has not yet signed it, but has until May 6th to conclude the decision.
