Ind. Courts - Still more on: "Indiana Supreme Court Suspends Judge Accused of Theft"
Updating this ILB entry from Oct. 29th, which quoted a story about the cost and inconvenience to the City of Bicknell as a result of the Oct. 14th suspension of its judge (no money coming in from fines, plus they have to continue to pay the salary of the suspended judge), the ILB has just received an Order of the Supreme Court, dated Nov. 2, appointing as judge pro tempore, Michael D. Edwards, effective Nov. 16th. From the Order:
This Order shall be sufficient authority for Judge Edwards to continue the employment of court personnel and otherwise discharge the duties of Judge of the Bicknell City Court. Judge Edwards shall be entitled to compensation for this service paid from the funds of the City of Bicknell at the same rate and on the same schedule as the present incumbent, commencing from the effective date of his appointment.
