Happy 95th Birthday, Governor O'Bannon! |
|
While you are no longer with us, your legacy lives on. We ask that you please review this short list of the accomplishments of former Governor Frank O'Bannon (1997-2003). - Last Democrat elected as Governor of Indiana.
- More than 25,000 students and visitors watched as he became the first governor of the 21st century, making it the largest gubernatorial inauguration crowd in Indiana history.
- He created Building Bright Beginnings to emphasize the importance of emotional and brain development of children from birth to 4 years of age.
- Under his leadership, Hoosier Healthwise provided health care to nearly 500,000 children who did not have insurance, making Indiana a national leader.
- He formed the bipartisan Education Roundtable, which tackled the most intractable problems facing public schools, making Indiana one of the first states to meet new federal education standards.
- Before anyone ever talked about the issue, he restructured the state’s tax system, making it more conducive to job creation, and extended $1 billion in property tax relief to homeowners.
- He persuaded the legislature to pass Energize Indiana, a comprehensive economic development package that took advantage of Indiana’s economic promise in four high-tech sectors: the life sciences, advanced manufacturing, information technology and distribution.
- Unlike any other governor in the nation, took steps to mitigate a serious budget deficit and addressed long-term ways to improve the economy.
- He created Ivy Tech, the state’s first Community College system, providing a higher education alternative for Hoosiers for whom a four-year college was not a good fit.
- He moved people with developmental disabilities from state institutions to less-restrictive community settings.
- Frank O'Bannon created the state’s first public access counselor to help citizens get government information.
- Finally, Frank O’Bannon was the first Indiana governor to have a computer on his desk and used the Internet and e-mail long before that became routine.
When people doubt that Democrats can win and lead Indiana, never forget Governor Frank O'Bannon. Your friends at the Winston/Terrell Group
