IU senior takes on 6-year incumbent in House race

By Paige Ingram · Friday, Nov. 3,2006 12:21 a.m.

Matt Pierce feels the Indiana General Assembly has lost its way. Since his election to the State Representative for District 61 seat in 2000, his main goal has been to help get the state on the right track, reversing some of the bad decisions he said they made. "One of the problems is the representative leaders in the General Assembly are not asserting themselves as an independent branch," Pierce said. "They've pretty much become a rubber stamp for Gov. Mitch Daniels." Pierce said it is important for the legislature to ask hard questions, in response to the proposals of the governor.
