...The lesson being that officials may change the rules of the game if they find their team isn't winning across the spectrum. Since being elected to replace outgoing, scandal-ridden Tony Bennett, Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz (D) has had to deal with efforts by members of her own State Board of Education and even Governor Mike Pence (R) to circumvent her authority. For starters, Pence and lawmakers moved $5 million in the state budget to fund the board's staffing from her office to his. Board members have also established a strategy planning committee despite the objections of Ritz. There is further speculation that Pence may also make her position an appointed rather than an elected one.
