Ind. Courts - More on Clark County judges' spending issues
Updating our entry from Sunday titled "Two Clark County judges' spending criticized" is this story today in the Louisville Courier Journal, headlined "Judges may take Clark to court." Some quotes:
For Clark County's four elected judges, a legal battle over more than $900,000 in public funds appears headed toward a familiar place -- the courtroom.An attorney representing the judges said yesterday that he will begin preparing to head to trial to solve a conflict with the County Council over probation user fees.
Filing paperwork with the Indiana Supreme Court will be one of the first steps in the process, said the attorney, David Lewis.
The four judges attended last night's council meeting to discuss who ultimately controls the hundreds of thousands of dollars in probation fees the county collects annually.
