Ind. Courts - Goshen City Court judge announcement
The most recent ILB entry on the Goshen City Court was Dec. 19, 2006, which reported that the city court had received a stay of execution from its projected closing the end of 2007.
Yesterday the Elkhart Truth had this report, that began:
GOSHEN -- Goshen City Court provides a vital service to residents, and Gretchen Hess Lund said she'd make sure the court isn't closed in the next four years.Lund announced Tuesday that she will run for Goshen City Court judge in the city elections this year. If elected, Lund would replace Judge Cecelia McGregor.
"My goal would be to make sure the issue doesn't come up," she said about the closing of the court. As city judge, Lund said she would monitor the cost of the court and how efficiently the county handles cases each year.
In 2006, at the request of Mayor Allan Kauffman, the Goshen City Council debated whether it should close city court by the end of this year. In December, the council decided to leave the court open at least for another four years.
