Filling some political chairs

From the Times: "Lake County Recorder Mike Brown became the first black Lake County clerk Saturday when Democratic precinct committeemen voted for him." This continues a series of musical chairs in Lake County, including Philpot and others who are also running for offices in 2010.

Marylyn Johns (D) was elected to fill Porter County Councilman Mike Bucko's seat in a caucus yesterday, defeating Brian Roeske on the 2nd ballot. On the first ballot Roeske has the votes but didn't have a majority with John Greaves on the ballot. On the second it would appear both of Greaves' votes went to Johns. Mike Bucko takes over as Treasurer on January 1st in Porter County.
