From the Washington Times-Herald today, Nate Smith writes:
Three area attorneys are vying for the gavel as interviews started this week to replace retiring Daviess Circuit Court Judge Robert Arthur.Washington-based attorneys Greg Smith and Jeff Norris and Odon-based counselor Rita Baldwin have submitted their names to Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels to fill out the remainder of Arthur’s term.
Daniels’ office confirmed Friday the three candidates will be interviewed in Indianapolis. Deadline for the applications was March 16.
“We expect that an appointment will be made before Judge Arthur’s retirement,” Jane Jankowski, Daniels’ press secretary said. * * *
Arthur is retiring after 24 years on the bench. He was appointed after his father, James, retired in 1982. Whoever is appointed to finish Arthur’s term, it will be the first time in 37 years that someone other than an Arthur will preside in Circuit Court.
