Daniels' PAC donated $50K 2 days before Purdue nod

INDIANAPOLIS -

Gov. Mitch Daniels' political action committee donated a total of $50,000 to two statewide candidates two days before he was chosen as Purdue University's next president.

The Indianapolis Star reports that Daniels' Aiming Higher PAC donated $25,000 to U.S. Rep. Mike Pence, the Republican nominee to succeed Daniels, and Tony Bennett, who's seeking re-election as superintendent of public instruction.

Last month's donations by Daniels could be his last candidate donations for a while.

Moments after Purdue's trustees elected Daniels on June 21 to assume the school's helm when his tenure as governor ends in January, Daniels said he would no longer be involved in partisan politics.

He said the only exception would be if he felt compelled to defend his administration's record during his eight years as governor.
