Indiana City Skip Election Debate Turbulence In Legislature
The Indiana legislative committee weighs a proposed skip election law to extend mayoral terms once more and faces Attorney Emmert’s ruling that a second extension exceeds authority. A first skip year was 1934 under McVatt, with city elections moved to general election years. The panel also considers shifting municipal elections to county control and raises hunting license fee proposals to offset veterans license costs.
