Well, the political campaigns will soon kick into high gear. This is a time when most presidents get a bit nervous. It's not only about which candidate will be most supportive, it is also trying one's best not to be seen as supporting one candidate over another. This can be a slippery slope.
Case in point was today, when Gov. Ehrlich asked to visit our Center for Trades and Energy Training. He wanted to tour the facility and host a round-table of workforce development instructors. We were able to comply and it was a very productive meeting.
Does this mean that we support Gov. Ehrlich? No, we would extend this opportunity to any gubernatorial candidate. So, if Gov. O'Malley wishes to visit a campus, we would follow our rules and allow him to do it.
Just like with legislative sessions, I am so happy when elections are over!
