Jim Buck to succeed Jeff Drozda in Indiana Senate

A Republican caucus selected Rep. Jim Buck to fill the vacancy left by Jeff Drozda’s departure from the Indiana Senate. This seems like an improvement. Sen. Drozda’s social conservative inclinations were a bit strong for my tastes. I’m sure Rep. Buck doesn’t share my views on those issues either, but at the least he always seemed like a decent guy when I had occasion to do work for him back in the mid-90s.
