Shocked - Mitch goes to Kernan

From the Evansville Courier- Press:

Indiana Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard and former Indiana Gov. Joe Kernan have agreed to co-chair a public commisison to examine Indiana's current system of local government and make recommendations on reshaping it, officials are announcing now.

The Commisison on Local Government Reform, announced by Gov. Mitch Daniels, will begin its work in August. One of the questions the commission has been looking at is whether the township form of government should be abolished.
