Gov. Daniels: Teachers Used 'Illegal' Tactics To Unseat Bennett & Elect Ritz
Gov. Mitch Daniels claimed teachers used their public school e-mail accounts to send messages advocating for the ouster of Republican state superintendent Tony Bennett, The Indianapolis Star’s Washington D.C. bureau reports. A spokesperson for state superintendent-elect Glenda Ritz says the Democrat’s campaign urged teachers to use their personal e-mail accounts when rallying support.
State GOP spokesperson Pete Seat says the party “received copies of emails about the election that were sent by teachers from school accounts.” But the president of the state’s largest union told The Star Daniels’ statements amount to “sour grapes.”
