Lawyers For House Democrats and former consultant Bill Chadwick have agreed to let a retired Dauphin County judge decide their dispute over the ownership of a Bonusgate-related court file.

Ex-Judge G. Thomas Miller will hear the dispute, a spokesman for Majority Leader Todd Eachus, D-Luzerne, said this afternoon. Last week, Judge Lawrence F. Clark recommended that the warring sides allow a special master to hear the case.
