INDIANAPOLIS - Township government would cease, county sheriffs would no longer be elected, and more than half of all school districts would be consolidated into others.

Those are just three of 27 recommendations made Tuesday by the Indiana Commission on Local Government Reform, a bipartisan group of seven Hoosiers led by Indiana Supreme Court Justice Randall T. Shepard and former Gov. Joe Kernan.

EDITORIAL: Eliminate township assessors
Panel: Slash, consolidate local government
EDITORIAL: Don't let dust gather on these recommendations for reform
EDITORIAL: Better accountability for local government
