The State House of Representatives convenes today for 10 weeks of work.
With the Republicans holding the governor's office and a majority in both chambers, time will tell just how much will be accomplished.
Governor Daniels would like to pay for a few highway projects by first leasing the Indiana Toll Road to a private company. According to his estimates that could bring in more than two-billion-dollars.
The Interstate Extension of 69, still on the drawing boards is also considered by Daniels a road that should become a leased toll road. Daniels is hoping to be given the authority to make those changes a reality.
The Governor has presented his 5.3 billion dollar highway package as a means to create 100,000 jobs.
