Indiana Supreme Court backs Moore remonstrance law
The Indiana Supreme Court ruled the Moore remonstrance statute valid allowing a majority of voters in a ward or township to block saloon licenses for two years. Attorneys may sign remonstrances for clients with separate powers of attorney, and blanket remonstrances remain enforceable. Each applicant can challenge the remonstrance’s validity but cannot obtain a license if a legal remonstrance is filed.
