INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana's contentious right-to-work bill will face more Statehouse debate a day ahead of what is expected to be its final legislative vote.

The Indiana Senate plans to debate and vote Tuesday afternoon on proposed amendments to the bill.

Republican Senate President Pro Tem David Long says he doesn't expect any changes will be made to the bill, which would allow Wednesday's vote on final passage to send it to the governor.

The Senate approved an identical version of the bill last week 28-22 and Long says he anticipates enough Republican senators will support the proposal for it to pass despite opposition from all Senate Democrats.

Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels says he will sign the bill into law.

If we are losing nearly a third of all job opportunities to RTW states, doesnt that mean that we are beating RTW states by more than 2 to 1 already? Thats exactly what it means and daniels and bosma are laughing all the way at you idiots that are supporting it. Said it in plain view to your face and all of you RTW supporters fell for it.

Supporters of a bill that will diminish wages and benefits for all period. Its really not a union non union issue, its a labor issue. They are using unions to get this thing started and then it will be you! Best wake up and smell the deceitful garbage you have been sold.
