Ritz isn't an outsider. Her entire career is government employment.

Fox59 repeated this story on the 11 pm news last night (7/17/15), read with fervor by Nicole Pence, the governor's niece.

I agree with you on the campaign against Ritz, but I lost all respect for her when she ceremoniously walked out of that meeting like a child. If I pulled a stunt like that at my job I would be fired. You have to face the music and her tactics have made her very unlikeable. She has done this to herself.

If Ms. Ritz had an ounce of charm I'd be on board, but she is the most viscerally unlikeable politician I have ever seen in my long life. Good Lord, this isn't that tough. You get an image coach and you work on it. You don't have to be Bill Clinton, but it helps if you're not Nurse Rachet.

Thanks for posting this Gary's! The a$$holes at the Star posted a story similar to channel 6 this afternoon. What a petty charge against her. Maybe her staff is more focused on education than they are on politicking and making sure campaign finance paperwork gets fudged correctly? I don't even like her but knowing that she is an outsider makes me want to send her campaign cash and maybe even vote for her.

Since the GOP primary does not provide any meaningful alternatives to the BTlaw hand-picked crew, I am considering asking for a Democratic ballot and voting for Glenda Ritz.

Glenda Ritz will probably have my vote. Pence'...

Glenda Ritz will probably have my vote. Pence's selection of per your earlier blog - "Gov. Mike Pence decided it would be a good idea to outsource the doling out of those dollars to a group of ten "business executives," most of whom would be more aptly described as political cronies." The selection of Gold$mith and his cronies was so far over the top.

John Gregg needs to go out to pasture. With a bit of gallows humor I have to laugh about our Corporate McMega-Media latching on to this story, while they stand in and smell a cesspool of corruption all around them but keep trying to spray perfume in the air.

Isn't this just another example of her political non-sophistication showing? From what I have read, that has been the main cause of friction. Two years into her term and the staff she's gathered around her aren't savvy enough to prevent this error?

If Glenda Ritz were to be successful and prevail in the Democratic Primary, in my opinion, she would become our next Governor. I am a Republican and have worked with Glenda when she was active in the Teacher's Union. However, both the established Democratic and established GOP leadership fear her. In part, because they cannot control her. Yes, Gary is correct, Glenda Ritz will become the next Charlie White.

2015-07-17T09:14:37.595-05:00

To me it looks like somebody wanted to shine a light on the fact that Glenda Ritz has only raised $30,000. The supposed legal violations are a sideshow.

I was not aware of what was happening to Glenda Ritz, but I am now; thanks Gary. Sounds more like a mistake than an intentional act. Doesn’t anyone in her campaign know about the prohibition? Perhaps the filing can be amended. She hasn’t been charged with anything by a prosecutor, right? So perhaps cooler heads will prevail. We seem to have so much actual fraud, I hate these stories where good people get caught up in accidental infractions.

To your point, check out the large number of contributions John Gregg's campaign reported the day after the ban was lifted.

While I am no huge fan of Glenda Ritz, I am not at all a fan of the corruptive practices of our political ruling classes. In fact, the more Ritz is targeted by the corrupt crony "elite" the more I have moved to her, "simpatico".
And this from a Marion County/State GOP.
