Some Legal News
I just picked up these two items this afternoon. I think you’ll find them interesting.
Brizzi Bar
The Indiana Attorney General has issued an opinion regarding Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi’s former involvement in Harry and Izzi’s, a new downtown bar and restaurant. Under Indiana law a law enforcement official can’t own a direct interest in a bar. However Brizzi was a shareholder in a corporation that owned an interest in Harry Izzi’s. Attorney General Steve Carter’s office says Brizzi’s type of ownership was too remote to fall under the statute. Brizzi sold his interest last month to avoid a potential conflict with the law.
Gun Ordinance
Democratic City-County Council member Angela Mansfield may be amending her ordinance that would prohibit the unauthorized firing of guns in Marion County. Under Mansfield’s preliminary change it would be lawful for guns to be fired on land greater than five acres and also makes it clear shooting is allowed gun ranges. Mansfield says the changes are necessary to clear up confusion about the proposal. A committee will hear the measure on Tuesday.
