Skillman makes stopover in Berne Tuesday

Berne Tri-Weekly News:

Indiana Lieutenant Governor Becky Skillman stood and listened to the musical chimes of the Swiss Clock Tower on Tuesday afternoon during a stopover in Berne.

"It's a spiritual moment, isn't it," said Skillman with a tinge of emotion in her voice.

"We think so," responded Berne Attorney James Beitler, with equal warmth.

Indiana State Representative Matt Lehman recalled a day seven years ago before the development of the clock tower area when Skillman visited the same spot and listened to the vision of local leaders.

"She remembers," said Lehman. "She recalls the gas station and the asphalt parking lot. It is obvious that she is very moved and excited about this. This is great; it's always great to have the lieutenant governor in town.
