Sentiment in Favor of Seventh District Split Backed by Muscatine Bar
The Muscatine bar supports dividing the Seventh district to form an independent Muscatine Scott district with a third judge. County Attorney Coldron says the change would relieve overburdened courts and keep Muscatine from joining Louisa or Johnson counties, while City Attorney Devitt opposes the extra salary and argues the bench should improve existing judges. He cautions legislative action is unlikely and notes jury and calendar issues complicate legal business in Scott and Muscatine counties.
