MERRILLVILLE | Gov. Mike Pence took shots at Illinois while touting Indiana's business climate and encouraging business leaders to go forth and sell the state.
Pence described himself as Indiana's salesman-in-chief, said he talked every day with business owners and CEOs about bringing jobs to the state and called Illinois companies "low-hanging fruit." He called upon Northwest Indiana business leaders to reach out to business owners outside the state and encourage them to relocate to or grow in Indiana.
He made the remarks Friday at the Northwest Indiana Business and Industry Hall of Fame induction at Radisson Hotel at Star Plaza in Merrillville. The Times Media Co. and its BusINess Magazine sponsor the annual awards ceremony.
