    Lt. governor gets glimpse of steelworker's life BY JOYCE RUSSELL, Munster Times, IN
    The tour, and a meeting afterwards with about 50 steelworkers at the USWA Local 6787 office, was part political rally -- stoking support for the election of Davis and Gov. Joe Kernan in November -- and part information gathering.

    Jim Robinson, USWA District 7 director, introduced Davis. 'We know how badly we need to take back the White House, but in Indianapolis we already have the House, we have the governor's mansion. We need to keep them,' he said. 'When Mitch Daniels was the budget director for the White House he gave away the treasury and put the problems on the backs of working people in Indiana. If Mitch Daniels gets elected, it isn't about losing what we got. They are going to come after us. It will be a four-year attack on working people.'
