Attorney General asks high court to hear candidacy dispute

Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller has asked the state Supreme Court to decide whether Charlie White can remain secretary of state.

The court didn't immediately say Tuesday whether it'll take up the case. Zoeller represents the state recount commission, which is appealing a judge's decision that found White ineligible to run for the office he won in November 2010. That reversed a previous recount commission ruling that upheld White's candidacy. The judge has delayed enforcing the order pending the appeal.

Zoeller says it's important that White's eligibility be decided "with certainty and finality."

Democrats say White should be ousted and replaced with second-place finisher Vop Osili, a Democrat, because White, a Republican, allegedly committed voter fraud and wasn't legally registered.

White faces trial this month on felony charges stemming from the same allegations.

    Sounds like Zoeller (a Republican) is asking the highest court in the land, to take the case, is just a way to keep him (illegally) on the job, for longer.

  1. Back in my teens/early 20s, Chicago's in Greenfield was a spot where my friends and I ate on a constant basis. Chicago's has always offered good pizza and bread sticks, but after getting married and buying a home, their prices and locations have made it so I would only get their pizza once every three years. They have expanded into McCordsville, but sadly closed the downtown Indy store years ago (this was the coolest layout for a restaurant in my opinion).

    Just recently we decided to try Chicago's at the old Greenfield location. While it was clean, they haven't updated much over the last five years or so. Still the same layout, booths, tables, etc.. I made a comment to my wife about how that place hasn't changed in years. Good to see they are doing well enough to build a newer building.
