Hamilton County Reporter

The Hamilton County Election Board met on Friday to review a request filed by Democratic Party Chairman Joe Weingarten concerning bribery allegations in the Carmel mayoral election.

Weingarten issued a letter to the Election Board requesting an investigation into allegations made that candidate Fred Glynn was offered $140,000 to withdraw from the race.

Greg Purvis, the sole Democrat on the board, recommended the board review the claim or ask for assistance from the Indiana State Police.

Board member Ray Adler agreed the board should investigate the matter.

Hamilton County Clerk Kathy Williams told the Reporter the board would review the matter but not until after the election.

Williams said the board would reconvene on May 14: “At that time the names Joe Weingarten has listed in his letter to the Election Board will be asked to come and answer questions from the board.”
