Part of my conversation with Mitch Daniels for this weeks “Crossroads Politics” on @WTHRcom. He is out with a new book called “Impatience is a Virtue.”
Mitch Daniels on polarized politics today: “I think ppl are tired of it. There’s a so-called exhausted middle that’s not comfortable with the choices the 2 parties are serving up and I think it’s quite possible that someone can campaign on a very different basis and say ‘Enough of that.’”

New details — court docs show a routine audit flagged the alleged misuse. The deputy reportedly used FLOCK cameras “to locate his girlfriend’s vehicle more than 2,000 times.” Resigned when confronted.
