Steele on “Lifetime” Health Care
I spoke this morning with Sen. Brent Steele (R-Bedford) about his run for the top job in the Indiana State Senate. Steele is cordial, down home and very likeable. However his position on the “Lifetime” health care benefit for lawmakers may run him into some trouble. Steele told me he’ll end the benefit if that is the caucus position, however he says he’ll recommend that lawmakers take it upon themselves to end the benefit, knowing what it did to Bob Garton in his primary. Some conservatives may have an issue with this because they want the benefit eliminated altogether. My money is still leaning toward Tom Weatherwax of Logansport, for now. Stay tuned.
