original article on upcoming bill----


In basic review, 
many bills that should have had final action 
in both houses of the IGA, are still pending due to the "walk out'. 
 HB 1022, co-authored by Rep. Steve Stemler, has not had action since April 11, 
due the severe backlog of bills to be considered. 

HB 1022 passed the House 79-21  and then, as amended, the Senate, 34-16. 
The amended version must now be passed by the house tonight. 
There is not time for any chages to the final Senate version. 
There is not time for a "conference committee" agreement. 

Lots of bills on "life support" for this abrieviated session! 


If it is not called for another vote in the House  in this session, 
it will be introduced in the next seesion, most likely with the same excellent support. 
A tough political process when so much working time was lost.


******************************************************
CW asked:  "If they are acting within the law right now what legal basis is there to file a lawsuit against them?"

The prior ruling by Scott Circuit Judge Kloepfer, which was upheld on appeal by the Indiana State Suprme Court,
was veay clear on the situation with respect to "double dipping by one person drawing two lucrative salaries
and exercising authority in TWO separate branches ot the SAME unit of government simultaneously".
The judge rulled  that it could not be done in Indiana and the Supreme Court concurred.
Thus, Caldwell was given the opprtunity to chose or the court would choose for him.

We have three "co-equal" branches of government allowable at the city, county,  and state levels in Indiana.
They are the judicial, the executive, and the legislative branches.
The concept is to "separate powers" into different branches and thus avoid the "concentration" of power.
This is to disallow one person exercising too much authority and to not allow them to do so in "multiple branches" of the same government at the same time.
It is a well tested method of "checks and balances".
It is in DIRECT OPPOSITION  to the concepts of a monarchy or a totalitarian form of government,
like a Marxist dictatorship.

Hense the name of the constitutional concept:  "The Separation of Powers Doctrine".

The Indiana General Assembly, the "legislative branch" of Indiana state government,
is consideraing HB 1022 ,which would prohibit the corrupt practice of drawing two salaries
and exercising  authority in TWO separate branches of the same government simultaneously.
State Representaitive Steven Stemler has co-authored a bill that would  legaly"codify"
and ban the corrupt practice by state law.
This would establish a standard or legal requirement for all to follow uniformly.
His bill has been amended by compromise with forces that wanted to extent the practice for four years, thus delaying implementation of the effort.
Steve has bravely fought those those forces, but the bill was amended in the Senate.
If his bill becomes law, he achieves his goal, but the full impact takes four years.
That is the "give and take"within the legislative branch and its process.
The bill must pass both houses in the same form by the end of this legislative session which is this Friday.

Then the Governor can sign the bill, in which case it becomes law when promulgated or the gov can veto it and "kill" the legislation.
The legislature can overide the Governor's veto with  a 2/3rds majority also to force the bill to become law.
This process of 'give and take" is also part of the separation of powers /checks and balances process.

Wait, there's more still to come!

A law really isn't a law
until it has then been "tested" by the JUDICIAL process, the third "co-equal" branch!
The founders understood the Contitutional proess very well. It is excellent!
HB 1022 can be challenged in court and then it could be "overtuned" and ruled not legal or it could be "uphelp"
and ruled legal.
Parts of the bill could be "struck down" as well. That is where Judge Kloepfer's ruling could be added to the argument as a "prior existing ruling or precident".

A final ruling
could determine  that "persons running in this cycle" could do so under the color of the current statute
and hold both positions.
 Or that section could be "disallowed
 and they would NOT be allowed to do so.
The Judicial process would ultimately decide.

The second "track" is that of the voters determining if they approve of  the corrupt practice
of "double dipping"
from the same government at the same time.
 The general feeling is that only someone in a position to pull that off would support it.
The idea ia abhorent to our system of government.
The voters will be given the opportunity of choosing at the polls
if they support a nominee of a political party
that has such "double dippers"standing  for election on that party's slate.
We may have three candidates- SC, EZ, and EH- doing so this fall in the General Election for the City of Jeffersonville.
