Developing Story

Roy Schmidt and Matt Mojzak

Rep. Roy Schmidt switched his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican. Now, election fraud charges may follow against the man who originally filed to run against him.

Miscellaneous

Some acts of government defy easy placement in broad categories like Crime and Environment and will be listed here.  They may be serious--a Congressional joint resolution honoring minority veterans of World War II--to legislators expressing support for good causes, like the Indiana House of Representatives designating Oct. 1, 2010, as Adopt a Shelter Pet Day.  Sometimes official proposals seem simply designed to relieve the stress of governance as when a New Mexico legislator introduced a bill requiring all custodians in the capitol building to be graduates of the University of New Mexico School of Law.
