Ind. Courts - Greene County Circuit Court Judge David K. Johnson to resign June 30th
The Greene County Daily World reports:
Greene County Circuit Court Judge David K. Johnson, a nearly 30-year veteran of the local judicial bench, has resigned effective June 30.Judge Johnson confirmed for The Daily World that he forwarded a letter to Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniel's office on Friday asking him to accept the resignation.
Johnson, who has served as Circuit Court Judge since Sept. 5, 1976, also said he has been in conversation with the governor's office since February about his resignation and a possible appointment in the near future that will involve a state agency.
“I'm hopeful to get a part-time job, but it's not a 100 percent yet, so I'm not going to talk about that. When it becomes a sure thing, then I'll be glad to talk about it,” Johnson stated. “This is something we've been mulling over for some time.”
Johnson said the timing of his resignation seemed right for him.
“For me personally, with this possible opportunity, it was something I was not looking for, but it came my way and I thought this would be a good time to resign,” the veteran judge said.
