It is true that Chapter 14 of Indiana Code Title 19, a long-since defunct — yet only followed by the City of Muncie — piece of Indiana law, states that “A person shall be ineligible to serve as a civilian member of the merit commission if he or she holds any other public office or appointment.” If the matter stopped and started with this stipulation as our mayor has chosen to squarely base his veto the story would be done and finished and I would readily acquiesce. However, the mayor has not presented the majority of facts involved in the proactive ordinance which City Council passed and which he’s vetoed.
