Ind. Courts - "Lake commissioner backs proposal to prune public defender staff"
Bill Dolan has this report today in the NWI Times. Some quotes:
CROWN POINT | Support is growing among Lake County officials to thin out the ranks of lawyers defending at public expense indigent people accused of minor crimes. * * *The lawyer reduction is one part of a larger plan to cut county government's current spending levels by $15 million because of state-mandated property tax caps that will reduce local government revenue.
