Ind. Gov't. - "Attorney general race a study in opposites"
Bryan Corbin of the Evansville Courier & Press reports today on the two candidates for Indiana Attorney General. The story begins:
INDIANAPOLIS — The two candidates for Indiana attorney general have such different notions of the role that it's almost as if they weren't running for the same job.After two terms, current Attorney General Steve Carter is not running again. Carter's chief deputy attorney general, Greg Zoeller, is the Republican running to succeed him in the Nov. 4 election. Zoeller wants to build on Carter's accomplishments, but largely would keep with Carter's low-key approach.
The Democratic nominee for attorney general is prominent Indianapolis trial attorney Linda Pence. She says she would shake things up by investigating oil companies for high gasoline prices and assigning the attorney general's office to assist county prosecutors in complicated, multijurisdiction criminal cases. She complains that Carter and Zoeller have not been aggressive enough, and that she would bring a trial lawyer's zeal to the office.
