18A-PL-2730
Civil plenary. Affirms and reverses in part the Cass Superior Court’s determination that the City of Logansport had complied with an agreed judgment between the city, county and Jim Brugh concerning a Logansport war memorial.

Also finds Brugh wholly failed to prove the Cass County Council acted in contempt. Finally, finds the Cass County Council acted within its authority as the fiscal branch of county government and did not willfully disobey the agreed judgment.
