President Bush to join President Daniels for final Purdue Presidential Lecture Series event on December 6th
<\/strong>Former U.S. President George W. Bush will share the stage with Purdue University President Mitch Daniels, who served in the White House as Bush\u2019s first budget director, for the final Presidential Lecture Series<\/a> event of Daniels\u2019 tenure at Purdue. Reserved-seating tickets for entry will be required, becoming available beginning Nov. 7 at www.purdue.edu\/president\/lecture-series\/<\/a>. Individuals will be limited to two tickets each. There is no charge for the event. Tickets will be electronic only and are not transferable. Attendees should plan to bring a photo ID and their mobile ticket for entry. Due to anticipated audience size, guests should arrive early to navigate event parking and entry procedures prior to the lecture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Bush administration\u2019s first director of the Office of Management and Budget, Daniels was dubbed by Bush \u201cThe Blade\u201d for his adherence to spending restraint. Upon Daniels\u2019 departure in May 2003, Bush praised him as \u201ca really good watchdog of the taxpayers\u2019 money.\u201d For his Indiana gubernatorial campaign, Daniels used the trademark slogan \u201cMy Man Mitch,\u201d in reference to another nickname President Bush gave him while serving in his administration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniels\u2019 baptism in public service came as chief of staff to U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar from 1977-82, before serving as a senior advisor to President Ronald Reagan. After a 15-year career in private business, Daniels was confirmed as President Bush\u2019s director of the Office of Management and Budget by a\u00a0U.S. Senate<\/a>\u00a0vote of 100-0, serving from January 2001 until May 2003. In this role, Daniels also was a member of the\u00a0National Security Council<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Homeland Security Council<\/a>. Daniels left the White House in mid-2003 to launch his successful campaign for Indiana governor, serving two terms. On his first day as governor, Daniels created Indiana\u2019s first Office of Management and Budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder of Scotty’s Brewhouse files Chapter 13
<\/strong>Scott Wise, the founder of Scotty\u2019s Brewhouse locations, has filed for bankruptcy protection. Wise and his wife, Amy, filed Chapter 13 bankruptcy in mid-October. Scotty’s Brewhouse, at one point, had 17 locations, including one in Bloomington, before stores began to be shut down in 2016. Scotty\u2019s Holdings LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection around a year ago and has since closed most of its locations, including the one in Bloomington. Some of the debt creditors listed in the Wises\u2019 bankruptcy filings are also creditors in Scotty\u2019s Holdings case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individuals filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection seek to develop a plan to repay some portion of what they owe creditors. Wise now operates Roots Burger Bar in Muncie, Indiana, home to the first Scotty\u2019s Brewhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
