Developing: We just received a report the FBI has raided a home on Zimmer Road near Warsaw, IN. The home purportedly belongs to a Jason Slavey.

Bob Morris has won the GOP caucus to replace Randy Borror as state representative in Indiana’s 84th district.

First round vote was Brown 5, Olinger 7, Pillie 9, Morris 19, Brown was eliminated, 40 voters are here.

Second round vote: Olinger 11, Morris 21, Pillie 9. Pillie eliminated.

Third round Morris won with 26 votes. Olinger has 15.

Second caucus to appoint a candidate to fill vacant ballot for the 84th District was also won by Morris.

Updating our post from 4:53 p.m.

We learned earlier today that House District 84 representative Randy Borror will tender his resignation to the house speaker tomorrow morning, and will also be resigning from Star Financial. Borror is taking a position with Bose Public Affairs Group and will head up a new Fort Wayne office for the firm.

House district 84 covers most of Saint Joe Township in Allen County and the surrounding areas.

With the new Ethics Reform HB 1001 that went into effect July 1st, Borror will be prohibited from lobbying the general assembly for one year. The law places a one-year cooling off period before state elected officials and executive branch employees can register as lobbyists.

It’s going to be interesting to see how many individuals from his district file to run in the caucus. I will take a guess later, with a poll I will post on the site.

Yes sir ladies and germs, we’re going to have another caucus.

Check back here at 6:30 for details.
