INDIANAPOLIS (July 19, 2005) Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels and Lt. Governor Becky Skillman launched new Web sites today to enable Hoosiers to have better access to information.

I hope Hoosiers find the new Web sites informative, educational, and easy to navigate, said Governor Daniels. These sites will be a great way for Hoosiers to connect with the governor's office.

The governor's site - www.in.gov/gov - contains official information about the office, legislative priorities, contact information, and a media center as well as new features such as a kids page, photo gallery, information about RV 1, and a history of the state's previous governors.

Additional features will be added in the weeks and months to come including a video tour inside RV 1 and audio of the governor's speeches and news conferences.

The lieutenant governor's site www.in.gov/lgov - contains many of the same features as well as policy information on Indiana's efforts to reinvigorate the state's agriculture and tourism sectors.

"The governor and I, through extensive travel to all parts of the state, have pledged to be accessible to Hoosiers," remarked Lt. Governor Skillman. "By creating informative and user-friendly Web sites we are able to help keep this commitment.

The Web sites were designed by the staff at Access Indiana.
