Townships are subdivisions of counties. Townships aren't much of a deal in most of the rest of the country, but it turns out that, in Indiana, they're still kind of a big deal. Monroe County is divided into 11 townships. Except for a couple of thousand people in Van Buren Township, and a couple of dozen in Richland Township, the 80,000-plus residents of the city of Bloomington are split almost evenly between Bloomington and Perry Townships.
Our guest today is Dan Combs, who's been the trustee of Perry Township since 1986. He explains what townships were for originally, what they're for now, and what he does on a daily basis as trustee. It's a crash course on the least-understood form of government you're subject to.
