Steers Discusses Governor Run Amid Sales Tax Fight
Indiana Attorney General Edwin K. Steers floated a possible gubernatorial bid as the sales tax dispute continued. He said he did not file a brief for political reasons and asked Governor Welsh not to make him a party to the case, a request Welsh left to his attorney. Zazas, appointed to appeal for the state, still viewed Steers as an appellee allied with the Indiana AFL-CIO challenging the tax. The Indiana Supreme Court did not grant a Steers request.
