Stirrings of Democracy in Indiana
January 26, 2009
Came across a blogger in Indiana alerting folks to a bill recently introduced in the state legislature by Democrat Rep. Craig Fry to give voters a voice in pickings justices on the state’s high court.
Perhaps the biggest change suggested in the legislation is that the justices would be elected by the general public to a 6-year term. The General Assembly would divide Indiana into three districts, and one justice would be elected by the voters of those districts. Two justices would be elected by all voters statewide.

Ithank you as the writer of the original post, but stirrings might not be the right word. More like a return.
