A Brief History of the Iowa Caucus

The East Chicago City Council has a problem — one that, for now, has no speedy or easy resolution.  One of the Council’s members is in a jail cell in Valparaiso, being held there for federal authorities on criminal charges that include homicide and narcotics-related crimes.  But Robert Battle was re-elected to his seat on the City Council last November, and is still legally a Council member, despite his legal and personal issues.

Lakeshore Public Radio’s Chris Nolte talked with Bill Dolan, who’s been covering the story for The Times.  He attended Monday night’s City Council meeting — where he says nothing official was done about Battle’s position as an elected official.
