Gov. Mike Rounds is following his own directive that state government limit out-of-state travel.

The governor says he won't attend Barack Obama's inauguration in
Washington or a meeting Friday in Omaha, Neb., of the Council of
State Governments.

He recently implemented a hiring freeze in state government and told agencies to limit out-of-state travel and big-ticket purchases. Rounds says he's staying home to send a message that he's serious about cutting government spending.
