Legal challenge questions constitutional convention law in Indiana
A suit filed in Marion County Superior Court questions the constitutional convention law passed by the Indiana legislature last winter. The complaint argues the people have other avenues to amend the constitution and notes past efforts to secure amendments, including educational reforms for attorney licensing, have largely failed at general elections. The piece discusses election mechanics, the rarity of special referendums, and suggests a convention may be needed to obtain public changes. It also briefly mentions a workplace injury to William Love at Cabinet Co and personal notices about Elisabeth Schurs and the Pattons.
