Congressman’s Mike Pence’s response to President Bush’s final State of the Union address was picked up in the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette.
Bush used his final State of the Union speech to wag his finger at congressional spending on pet projects. He said he would veto any spending bills for next year that don’t reduce the congressional add-ons by half.
Pence said calling for only a 50 percent reduction is “a missed opportunity.”
The Gazette also mentioned Lori Ball of Brookville, who was a guest of the First Lady.
WISHTV out of Indianapolis also picked up the Congressman’s response after the speech quoting him as saying:
"The president made a compelling case for strong action on the economy, not only in the short term, but in the long term in renewing and making permanent the tax cuts he put on the books."
