Tom G. Clowers v. Marilyn Edwards, Former Washington County Judge; Joseph Wood, Current Washington County Judge…

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal with prejudice of the complaint challenging a county court order that reduced Washington County's townships and constable positions. It held that the county court had statutory authority to alter or abolish township lines, necessarily changing the number of constable positions, and that the appellant's failure to challenge all independent grounds for dismissal was independently fatal. The court also upheld the denial of the recusal request because prior adverse rulings and case assignment did not establish bias.
