Indiana Dem leader to try for meeting with GOP
| Tim Mitchell, staff writer, 
URBANA — Indiana House Minority Leader Pat Bauer said he hoped to arrange a face-to-face meeting with House Republican leadership in Indianapolis on Wednesday.
Bauer, D-South Bend, said the meeting would be an effort to pursue a compromise to end the political standoff that has led more than 30 Democrats to leave Indiana for Urbana, avoiding a quorum that would allow votes on bills affecting workers and education.
"I’m willing to negotiate any time, anywhere," Bauer said.
Bauer said the remaining members of the Democratic caucus would likely remain in Urbana. He planned to return here after his meeting in Indianapolis to report to his fellow Democrats in the House.
