"Galveston planning a town court" to bring money to the town


See the story by Ken de la Bastide here in the Logansport Pharos-Tribune. Some quotes:

GALVESTON — The town of Galveston is in negotiations to lease the former Red Barn convenience store for conversion into police headquarters and the creation of a town court. * * *

[Town Marshal Jim ] Jackson said the intent is to have an office for the Indiana State Police and Cass County Sheriff Department in the building, along with the Galveston Police Department. * * *
Jackson said steps are being taken to start a town court, which will bring money into the town.

“The state police and county will bring tickets to Galveston,” he said. “The town court in Bunker Hill generates $360,000 per year.”

Jackson said a judge will be elected from within the Galveston community and the person doesn’t need to be an attorney.

The court will handle infractions, tickets and some misdemeanor cases
