A multi-million dollar project in White County has begun. Minnesota-based Magnetation is building a $350 million plant in Reynolds that will recycle iron waste to produce iron ore concentrate. The company is working with AK Steel, which will use the iron pellets produced there.

Magnetation CEO Larry Lehtinen says the facility will use the latest technology to make it one of the most efficient plants of its kind.

Governor Mike Pence is getting input from business and civic leaders as he tours the state. He held a jobs roundtable at Subaru of Indiana Automotive Friday afternoon with about a dozen executives and the mayors of Lafayette and West Lafayette.

He presented his Road Map for Indiana plan and continued to push for a 10% income tax cut for all Hoosiers.

"That would also lower taxes on more than 90% of small business owners and farmers in this state."

Indiana is poised for greatness – that’s the assessment of Governor Mike Pence. The Republican took the oath of office and addressed a crowd outside the Statehouse during his inauguration Monday morning.

Pence says there is much work to be done. He says state government and all Hoosiers must be bold, optimistic and relentless in improving the state and the lives of its citizens.

Along with Pence, Lieutenant Governor Sue Ellspermann and Attorney General Greg Zoeller took the oath of office.

Below is Governor Mike Pence's inauguraton address:

The Indiana GOP lieutenant governor candidate is touting her ticket's pro-business policies.

Sue Ellspermann participated in a jobs roundtable at Fairfield manufacturing in Lafayette Wednesday morning. She says students of today need to be better prepared for the jobs of tomorrow.

Ellspermann says if she and Mike Pence are elected, they would support proposals to encourage college undergraduates to complete their degrees in four years.

She says those in high school need to be made aware of alternatives to college that will still prepare them for the workforce.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Pence says Indiana must move from reform to results and laid out his vision for the state in a speech to the state Republican convention Saturday. 

The platform unveiled by Pence offered more aspirations than specifics, as is common early in a campaign.  The 6th District congressman lauded the accomplishments of the Daniels administration but says there is still work to be done.
