Ind. Law - AG Zoeller challenging the new health care law
The Fort Wayne Journal Gazette had a Q & A yesterday on Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller’s decision to join a lawsuit challenging the controversial health care legislation. Niki Kelly had a story March 30, 2010 quoting Zoeller: “In this case it is unfortunate the entire subject matter has been politicized,” Zoeller said. “Everyone needs to know whether this is constitutional or not.”
The Indianapolis Star on April 2 had this editorial headed "Health-care suit tainted by politics." It concluded:
Zoeller hurt his credibility on this matter by recently blasting three school districts that sued the state over what they believe to be inequities in the school funding formula. Zoeller argued at the time that the districts shouldn't use tax dollars to sue the state government. Although there are significant differences in the two cases, his embrace of one and strong denunciation of the other makes it harder for Zoeller to persuade Hoosiers that his decision to join the health-care suit is more about the law than it is politics.
