Here’s how an end-of-the-year, one-on-one interview went Thursday at the Statehouse, where Gov. Eric Holcomb talked about the prospects of Tippecanoe County water being shipped to a massive development near Lebanon; his hopes for the outgoing president of Purdue (Mitch Daniels) and the incoming president (Mung Chiang); Indiana’s new abortion law tangled in the courts; and a fresh No. 1 ranking for Purdue men’s basketball.

For a second consecutive year, that’s where we started.
