Legislators are setting out to get rid of nearly a third of Indiana’s thousand townships.
Then-Governor Mitch Daniels tried a decade ago to get rid of township governments entirely. But House Speaker Brian Bosma says 300 townships have fewer than 12-hundred people. He says the Indiana Township Association is on board with a plan to force them to combine with a neighboring township.
That bill would eliminate 12-hundred elected officials, namely the township trustees and the three-member township advisory boards.
