FRANKFORT, Ind. (February 10, 2023) – A delegation of elected members of Clinton County government attended the Association of Indiana Counties’ (AIC) 2023 County Legislative Conference this week according to a media release sent out Friday; four representatives in total were in attendance.
County Council President Alan Dunn, Commissioner President Jordan Brewer, County Auditor Britt Ostler, and Council Member Carol Price met with legislators to express their concerns about local government issues at the event which was held at the Hilton Indianapolis Hotel and Suites. The AIC briefed county officials about legislation being discussed in the Indiana General Assembly that would have an impact on counties.
“This conference is one of the most important events of the year for me personally,” stated Dunn. “It gives county leaders a chance to not only learn about new legislation, but also give feedback on those matters that might affect Clinton County directly. Just as importantly, it gives us the chance to interact with our colleagues from other counties to get new ideas and perspectives on how to tackle important issues.”
Attendees heard from Gov. Eric Holcomb as well as several other state elected officials including Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch, Auditor of State Tara Klutz, Treasurer of State Daniel Elliott, Attorney General Todd Rokita, and Secretary of State Diego Morales. AIC members also met with representatives from other state agencies.
“As a new council member, the opportunity to spend time with our state legislators and get detailed updates on bills that have the power to affect county funding was so valuable,” added new Clinton County Councilwoman Carol Price.
