Governor Mitch Daniels says he will start working on the State of the State Address over the holiday weekend.  He already has a main theme:  Property tax relief.  In fact, Daniels says that his 2008 agenda will include property tax relief and “not much” else.  By his assessment (and most others, not doubt), that’s a big departure from previous years.   His plan to privatize the lottery will wait at least until 2009. 

Its more evidence that Daniels recognizes that his re-election may well depend on the delivery of property tax relief.  (He heard the Ballard alarm.)

 By the way, the governor says his family will have turkey on Thanksgiving but this year it won’t be deep fried turkey.
