Area Plan lawyers weigh next move after Supreme Court ruling
Attorney John H. Beasley said he would file a re hearing petition with the Indiana Supreme Court within a few days. Opponents of area planning say they must restart if they pursue further action after the court upheld the Vigo County Council’s decision to withhold funds. The high court ordered Judge Lowdermilk to reverse his earlier ruling directing $37 857 60 for the 12 member planning group. Both sides study the decision as Planning Commission President Yeager indicates uncertainty about next steps.
