It's almost a two-pronged approach. The sad part is that businesses leaving the state punishes primarily Indianapolis, and that there are real people in Indianapolis who may be told their office is relocating which doesn't always come with offers to relocate with the office or offers to telecommute.

True. Pence is already backing off, and asked for some changes today.

Wal-Mart has issued a statement opposing the law also.

Have any other GLOs issued statements regarding that law, even if they do not have their HQs in IN?
