Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz's office approved a lucrative technology contract that state government officials said should have been subject to competitive bid, awarding it to a company that later gave one of her key aides a senior job...

She continues to make the last guy look not-so-bad.

She continues to make the last guy look not-so-bad.

After Pence and Daniels lost their mind over the voters voting her in...they gutted her position. She's not great, last guy was horrible. We'll call it a wash. They need to eliminate the position as i am not sure that position has any power anymore. Of course, if a republican wins next time...I'm sure they'll give that position all the power it needs to follow their wishes.

The government should not be in the education business.


That is all.

Seems as if everyone associated with public service unions like Ritz, but everyone else does not.

From the IBJ article:

...feeds a perception that Ritz—the only Democrat elected to statewide office and who is seeking a second term in November—has been a poor manager of the Department of Education since she ousted incumbent Tony Bennett in 2012.

"There were (school) superintendents that complained about disorganization, about receiving mixed messages from the department," former Democratic state board of education member Tony Walker said of Ritz's management. "People being told one thing then having that reversed at a later date."

In fact, I find it difficult to imagine the sort of business government should be in.

Guard the coast, tote the mail and keep the ^&%$ out of everything else?

It's looking more and more like we don't even need them in the mail business.

The mission at hand. Let's first get the gov't out of the healthcare business, while we still can. Then we can figure a plan for the rest of the privatization that needs done.

And BTW, let's be sure we fire Ritz in November.

Fair enough...but lets not kid ourselves that the GOP is doing any favors for education in Indiana...nor will the next GOP stooge to get elected in to the position.

The GOP is a subset of government.

Yeah, her questionable actions when she was on the ISTA board and her unwillingness to cooperate with the Governor's folks weren't worth noting at all, apparently.
