Ind. Decisions - Lake level case appealed to Indiana Supreme Court
"Lake level case appealed to Indiana Supreme Court" is the title to a story today on the South Bend Tribune by Jennifer Ochstein. Some quotes:
BREMEN -- Some property owners at Lake of the Woods are trying to keep their fight alive.The case is Matter of the Change of the Established Water Level of Lake of the Woods (2/22/05 IndCtApp) -- ILB entry here. "Lucas" is North Judson attorney Marty Lucas of the BigEastern blog.So their attorney, Marty Lucas, has appealed to the big gun -- the Indiana Supreme Court -- to maintain Lake of the Woods near Bremen at one water level instead of two.
It is unclear at this point, though, if the state's high court will allow the transfer.
Several court decisions have nixed the Lake of the Woods Property Owners Association's legal bid to change the current practice of raising and lowering the level of the lake with what they call a "water control structure."
Despite being shot down recently by the Indiana Court of Appeals, Lucas said his clients are hoping the Supreme Court overrides the appeals court decision to side with the farmers in the case.
