Russell Brown Tapped As Lawrence Township Trustee

Democratic precinct committeepersons in Lawrence Township have chosen attorney Russell Brown to fill the position vacated by Mike Hobbs after he recently pleaded guilty to stealing $500 and was forced under Indiana law to give up his elected post. It is refreshing to see the Democrats pick a well-qualified person like Brown for a change. Brown unsuccessfully challenged State Sen. Jim Merritt (R) in 2006.
