Last night I had dinner with a family friend who relocated his factory from IL to Indiana when Pence was governor, and served on his business development council. He and Pence became pretty good friends. I’m sure some preferential RE and Tax deals occurred. Pence was coming to do a press conference at the factory to tout economic resurgence and new jobs, and since they had renovated a dilapidated facility they gave it a thorough cleaning, pressure washing, painting, shined up the machinery, a lot of work. There were about 1,000 workers and a rough and tumble lot. Lots of ex-cons, but solid blue collar types - men’s men. About an hour before Pence and the press arrived, my friend had to get on the PA and tell his workforce “goddamit, everyone has 10 minutes to take down all the tits and ass pics at your station, and if I find out that any of you motherfuckers has said ‘fuck’ or ‘shit’ in front of the governor you will be on my permanent shit list.”
