Bingham’s New Ruling on Township Advisory Boards
At a recent Indianapolis Loans Trusts meeting Attorney General Bingham issued an opinion on Township Advisory boards. He said boards must be bipartisan, with two Democrats and one Republican for a Republican township. If the election yields unequal votes, the highest vote recipient from the minority party should join the board to balance power, ensuring unanimity on township affairs and curbing extravagance.
