From Monday's Chesterton Tribune:
Porter Superior Court Judge David Chidester has announced that he will run for re-election to his division 4 judge post this year.In his announcement, Chidester cited a number of accomplishments since he took office in 2003. They include decreasing the filings of probation violations, carrying out a promise to give every small claims litigant a written explanation of his decision, hosting small claims courts in nearly every high school in Porter County, implementing a new pretrial supervision program, working toward the passage of legislation forcing defendants to pay for pre-trial supervision, and helping to revamp and restructure the county’s alcohol education program that’s now operated by Prisoners and Community Together. * * *
Chidester also said he was among a few office holders who cut their 2008 budget from the ‘07 total and that he has donated more than $2,000 in proceeds from performing weddings to various Porter County charities, including the Porter County Animal Shelter and the Visiting Nurses Association.
