Indiana Governor Mike Pence says his decision to talk with the feds about expanding pre-k had more to do with keeping his word with Indiana lawmakers than it did with the upcoming election.
Pence sent a letter to the federal government saying he would be interested in pursuing funding for pre-k, back in 2014 the Governor turned down the opportunity for an $80 million grant.
Democrats have pounced on the Governor’s decision, accusing him of flip-flopping on the issue.
Pence says he promised lawmakers that he would not expand pre-K until the results of the pilot program were in.
