Ind. Courts - Still more on Green County Circuit Court
The Greene County Daily World reports that:
Erik “Chip” Allen was selected this morning as the Republican Party's nominee in the race for Circuit Court Judge on the Nov. 7 General Election ballot.Hmm, maybe the Governor will appoint an interim judge now that there is a Republican nominee for the fall election ...Allen, who currently serves as Clay County Chief Deputy Prosecutor, was the majority vote choice over a field of three other candidates at a special caucus of Greene County Republican Party precinct committeemen conducted in Bloomfield - four hours before the filing deadline of noon today. * * *
In the general election, Allen will face Democrat Joseph Sullivan, who was picked by his party in a similar caucus meeting on Wednesday night in Linton. * * *
GOP officials are hopeful Gov. Daniels will soon select an interim judge, who will serve until Dec. 31.
On Monday, the Indiana Supreme Court appointed Judith Hayes Dwyer of Washington judge pro tempore for the Greene Circuit Court, effective this Saturday. She will serve until Gov. Daniels makes the appointment of an interim judge.
