Indiana Secretary of State Charlie White has hired former Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi as his lead defense attorney
in his fight against voter fraud charges.
The Hamilton County court system's online records show that Brizzi filed his representation for White on Tuesday.
White and Brizzi are both Republicans. Brizzi didn't seek re-election last year amid criticism of his ties to Indianapolis businessman Timothy
Durham, who faces federal charges of running a $200 million fraud scheme.
The Associated Press left a message seeking comment from Brizzi.
A grand jury in March indicted White on felony counts of voter fraud and perjury, charging that he illegally listed his ex-wife's
address as his own on voting and loan forms and served on the Fishers Town Council when he was ineligible.
The Indiana Recount Commission voted 3-0 in late June to allow White to remain in office, denying a challenge to his eligibility
by the Democratic party. The party is appealing the decision.

Ameriana Bank took over Westfield Farmers Market for 2013 and it is held in their parking lot, corner of 32 and Carey road, 5 to 8. I am selling soap and candles there. great market!

B&T certainly has enough of our taxpayer dollars to do this thanks to Mayor Ballard. Given the firm's exceedingly poor reputation in the legal community, the basement would seem a better option.

Should read MAY hire 20 people.

Not a good location for a 300,000 home. 10th Street fumes, buses, noise. Max for this location 150,000.

The state constitution also does not say that the majority has a right to quorum, nor that the minority is required to allow them quorum. In fact, denial of quorum has been a parliamentary maneuver since the establishment of the first parliaments in the early 1600s. The right to deny quorum (and the requirement fore quorum) are to prevent exactly what happened in Indiana: A tyrannical majority pushing through odious, objectionable legislation. Denial of quorum is totally legitimate, and lest we forget, a tactic the GOP has employed many, many times to ensure their issues weren't given short shrift. By allowing the majority to impose "fines" on the minority for exercising the authority the constitution grants them (to deny quorum,) they are violating the constitution.
