Rokita seeks recoup from shady online charter
Todd Rokita s first actions as Indiana attorney general looked like much of the blatantly partisan work he did as secretary of state and as a congressman. But his announcement Monday of a lawsuit seeking to recover $154 million from unscrupulous online charter school operators is welcome news for Indiana taxpayers.
It s the work we hope he will continue to do.
“This massive attempt to defraud Hoosier taxpayers through complex schemes truly boggles the mind,” Rokita said in a statement. “This case demonstrates once again that public servants must remain ever vigilant in our work to safeguard the public treasury from opportunists.”
