 "CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels spoke to Illinois Republicans about lower taxes on Thursday evening, hours after thousands of labor union members protested his appearance.

"When you take money away from people, you leave them a little less free," Daniels told about 450 people at the Champaign County Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner, The News-Gazette in Champaign (http://bit.ly/JlkQyH ) reports.

Meanwhile, outside thousands of union members held a rally at University of Illinois' Assembly Hall before peacefully marching to the site of Daniels' speech. Indiana has a new right-to-work law that allows workers to not pay union dues even if a union bargains on their behalf

Daniels did address the labor issue."
