Ind. Courts - Randolph commissioners rescind plan to demolish courthouse

"Randolph commissioners rescind plan to demolish courthouse" is the headline to this story by Joy Leiker in the Muncie StarPress. Some quotes:

WINCHESTER -- The Randolph County Courthouse is safe from the wrecking ball once more.

In a most unexpected twist Monday, Randolph County commissioners voted unanimously to rescind their controversial June 6 vote to demolish the 129-year-old building that sits in the middle of Winchester's downtown square.

But the even bigger surprise is who made the motion -- Commissioner Drew Wright, the same man who a little more than nine months ago made the motion to tear down the courthouse.

From reading the rest of the story, this does not look to be the final resolution of the demolition question, but just a pause in the action.
