A reliable source tells Advance Indiana that former Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard has interviewed for the Ivy Tech president's job. That's the position former Lt. Gov. Sue Ellspermann hopes to land after she was forced to resign her office by Gov. Mike Pence so he could replace her with Eric Holcomb.
There were earlier rumblings that Pence had earlier asked former IU Health CEO Dan Evans to seek the job to replace Tom Snyder. News reports indicated that Evans was not interested in the job, but the source tells Advance Indiana he did indeed apply for the job. It should be interesting to see whether Ellspermann prematurely resigned her state office.
UPDATE: Dan Evans e-mailed Advance Indiana to clarify that he has not applied for the job. Evans confirmed that Gov. Pence spoke to him last fall and asked him to consider applying for the position but that "after some lawyerly due diligence" came to the conclusion "not to go through with the process the Ivy Tech board put in place."
