State Rep. James L. Bottorff, 61, a 15-year veteran of the Indiana House, died Tuesday at Louisville’s Norton Hospital following a months-long battle with cancer.



“This is a sad day for state government in Indiana,” said House Democrat Leader B. Patrick Bauer from South Bend. “We have lost a man who defined the role of public servant, a man who devoted much of his life to the idea that answering the needs of others was a noble calling. Our heart goes out to his family at this time of loss.”
