The latest out of Governor Daniels' office yesterday was the release of a letter from his legal counsel that appears to advocate for pushing the 7th District special election back to May, forgoing the earlier date in the name of financial expediency. Of course, that would leave the seat open for nearly five months, denying the residents of our state capital congressional representation. Taking Down Words has the letter if you want to check it out, but the essence of the argument revolves around saving the taxpayers the time and money associated with getting everyone together to elect a new representative.
While I understand the money argument, and am definitely sympathetic to those who are frustrated with how close the special election date will be to the May primary, I'm inclined to always default to the position that offers representation in the Congress over the one that doesn't. Of course, I don't live in the district so maybe my opinion doesn't count. What do you folks in the Indy area have to say?
