INDIANAPOLIS - Gov. Mitch Daniels signed into law Thursday a plan aimed at fixing Indiana's debt-ridden unemployment fund that labor unions had opposed because it will reduce jobless benefits for some people while softening business tax increases.
Daniels signed the bill before reporters in his Statehouse office, calling it a balanced approach toward bringing the unemployment fund into balance and repaying $2 billion that's been borrowed from the federal government to pay benefits.
