Ind. Gov't. - Attorney General Carter will not run for third term

John Strauss of the Indianapolis Star reports:

Indiana Attorney General Steve Carter, who focused on consumer protection and championed the state's Do-Not-Call list during two terms in office, said Sunday that he would not seek re-election this year.

"We have achieved a lot, but I think we can achieve things outside government," Carter, 54, said at a news conference in his office. His term expires early next year. * * *

State payroll records from last year show Carter's base salary at $79,400. A living allowance of about $12,000 pushed that to $91,400, and this year he will make about $95,000 -- far less than attorneys with similar responsibilities can expect to make in the private sector.
