Justices Disagree Over Effect of New Salary Law on Litigation
Justices Clark Smock and Hay debate whether the new salary law cut litigation by about one third. Smock argues that if all rental cases filed outside the township were here, business would return to previous levels. Clark estimates only a near match, not a full recovery. Exact proportions cannot be known since cases were filed elsewhere. The law allows possession cases to be filed countywide and rental agents file outside Center township to lower costs, despite fixed fees in Center township. Trustee Makepeace also doubts a decrease in litigation.
