Goodrich’s Dual Role Sparks Conflict | Indianapolis News

Indiana’s new Secretary of Commerce, Chuck Goodrich, is under fire for keeping his CEO role at Gaylor Electric while taking on his state post—despite the company already benefiting from millions in state tax credits and contracts. Goodrich claims he’s implemented strict separation protocols and insists his firm will compete fairly for future incentives, but lawmakers like Rep. Ed DeLaney argue the conflict is too glaring and demand he step aside or the governor pick someone else. The controversy underscores growing scrutiny over how Indiana balances public service with private enterprise, especially as Goodrich pushes for regional growth and talent development.
