Two local delegates get late start after airplane problem
Two Dayton-area delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Denver got a minor scare on Sunday.
Delegates Marcia Knox and Tom Ritchie’s 8:30 a.m. flight from Dayton International Airport was forced to return to Dayton about 20 minutes after takeoff due to a heat sensor issue, according to Ritchie.
Knox and Ritchie arrived in Denver at around 1 p.m. on another flight.
Ritchie is AFSCME Ohio Council 8 director of field services and organizing. Knox is AFSCME Ohio Council 8 regional director.
AFSCME, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, is the largest public employee and health care workers union in the United States.
