Ind. Courts - Courthouse likely issue in election of commissioners
"Courthouse likely issue in election of commissioners" is the headline to this story by Joy Leiker in the Muncie Star-Press. Some quotes:
WINCHESTER -- The fight over the Randolph County Courthouse likely will be a front-and-center issue in the race for the one open seat on the board of county commissioners.Incumbent Drew Wright, a Republican from Farmland, has yet to file for re-election, but on Tuesday two relative newcomers to the political scene filed to run for the Western District seat Wright now holds. * * *
Wright, former sheriff of Randolph County, has been the leading proponent on the current three-member board to tear down the courthouse, which was has stood since 1877. He was part of the majority vote last summer to demolish the structure and replace it with a new courthouse on the same spot in downtown Winchester. Lots of outrage, but little actual progress, has come about since the June vote.
