Ditched By Mitch.

Mitch Daniels, President Bush's first OMB chief, was never too popular with federal labor unions, what with his commitment to putting federal jobs up for private-sector competition and all. Now he's making an even bigger impression on his new employees in Indiana state government. National Journal reports this week that in his second day on the job as Indiana's governor, Daniels rescinded a 15-year old executive order allowing state employees to bargain collectively, saying it impeded his ability to reshape the state's bureaucracy.
