The reporters and editors of the Indianapolis Star have been providing lots of space to the Hamilton East Library Board lately.  The many controversies surrounding some board decisions has created plenty of news.

The latest story to appear on the IndyStar Web site Thursday explores the possibility that there could be changes in how members of the Hamilton East Library Board are appointed.  Currently, members are appointed by the Hamilton County Council and County Commissioners, the Noblesville School Board and Hamilton Southeastern Schools.  This was setup back in the days when Fishers and Noblesville were much smaller cities.  Hamilton Southeastern Schools only has one appointee because the headquarters of the library system is in Noblesville.

County Commissioner Christime Altman indicated to Star reporter John Tuohy that she would have no problem changing state law to update the way library board members are appointed in the Hamilton East system.
