Last Monday in this Indiana Law Blog entry, we discussed the Indianapolis Star story about Rep. Ed Mahern's proposal to make the Clerk of the Courts an appointive office. The Star story noted that Clerk Brian Bishop had resigned in June, seven months after reelection, and a permanent successor has not yet been named. Today the Star has an editorial titled "Appoint the Clerk," supporting Mahern's proposal. Near the end of the piece, the Star notes: "For the record, Brian Bishop is the current clerk." Perhaps they meant to say: "For the record, Brian Bishop was the person most recently elected to fill the office of clerk of clerk. However, he resigned in June. No permanent successor has yet been appointed."
