A lawsuit was filed in Vanderburgh County Superior Court seeking the removal of Evansville’s 4th Ward City Council Member, Tanisha Carothers.
The action, filed by Angela Bullock and Shona Jarboe, stems from the Democratic Party caucus, in which Carothers was selected by party members to fill the City Council Seat vacated by Alex Burton after he was elected as State Representative. The suit claims that Carothers did not meet residency or voter registration requirements when she filed for the council seats.
The suit asks the court to remove Carothers from the council seat.
We asked Carothers for a reaction and received a reply stating, “I am unaware of any lawsuit.”
