The Indiana Court of Appeals has agreed to hear oral arguments June 24 in an unprecedented legal clash between the Lake County Council and the Lake County Board of Commissioners.

Lake County separation of powers dispute headed to appeals court

Judge set to decide who controls what in Lake County government

HAMMOND — Lake Superior Judge John Sedia holds in his hands the future of Lake County government operations. In coming days, Sedia will decide whether to renew his April 16 decision giving the Lake County Council control over purchasing and data processing, or to revise his prior ruling as requested by the Board of Commissioners that currently manages both departments. Sedia heard arguments Thursday by two attorneys intimately involved in Lake County government for decades: John Dull, for the commissioners; and Ray Szarmach, for the council. Dull passionately, but politely, made the case Sedia got it wrong three months ago when the judge concluded a 1981 Indiana law assigns authority over purchasing and data processing to the Lake County Council, regardless of whether the council has chosen to exercise that authority in the years since.
