The Indiana legislature has decided to drop the "right-to-work" provision aimed at reducing the influence of unions, following calls <http://politicalwire.com/archives/2011/02/22/daniels_wants_to_drop_bill\ _that_forced_democrats_to_flee.html> by Gov. Mitch Daniels (R-IN) to kill the measure and the abandonment of the state capitol by House Democrats to prevent a vote, the Louisville Courier-Journal <http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20110223/NEWS02/302230100/-1/GAL\ LERIESSECTIONFRONT/Indiana-Senate-won-t-resurrect-right-work-bill> reports.
Said Senate President David Long: "It was a mistake." Of course, as Ben Smith <http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0211/Daniels_on_Wisconsin_Been_t\ here_done_that.html?showall> notes, Daniels didn't want a fight because he's already taken, by executive order when he took office, much of what Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) wants in his stand off with unions. http://politicalwire.com/archives/2011/02/23/indiana_senate_drops_anti-u\ nion_bill.html
