Hearing set in Miller residency case
Bartholomew County Republican Councilman Matt Miller is seeking to have a lawsuit challenging his residency in the county dismissed.
And the number of plaintiffs in the lawsuit has changed since it was filed on Sept. 9 in Bartholomew Superior Court 1.
Originally, the lawsuit listed plaintiffs as Bartholomew County Democratic Party Chairman Steve Schoettmer, as well as then-county council candidates Claudette Schroer, Olisa Humes and Tiffany Bosley.
Besides Miller, three members of the Bartholomew County Election Board Jay Phelps, Jim Holland and Julie Schuette were listed as co-defendants. Schoettmer said he included the election board in an effort to persuade them to launch its own investigation into Miller’s legal residence.
