Environment - Indianapolis Star presses for debate on environmental issues
In an editorial today, the Indianapolis Star states:
Our position is: Environmental issues that affect the health, quality of life and economy of Indiana deserve debate in the gubernatorial campaign.A discussion of how best to protect Indiana's environment has been conspicuous by its absence in the campaign for governor.
It didn't surface during the debate. The subject isn't on the candidates' Web sites. If you search Democratic Gov. Joe Kernan's 47-page Action Indiana document or Republican challenger Mitch Daniels' 4,000-word Road Map, you'll find virtually nothing about the topic. * * *
Whoever is elected governor will have to confront difficult and expensive decisions connected with Indiana's environment. These decisions will affect the state's health, quality of life and economic future.
The issue should have been -- and perhaps still could be -- part of the debate during the statewide campaign.
