Ind. Gov't. - Fort Wayne Journal Gazette open records editorial
The Fort Wayne Journal Gazette publishes an editorial today titled "Secret Government" that references the Indianapolis Star piece (quoted in this 10/11/05 ILB entry) from earlier this week. Today's editorial concludes:
[L]ocal officials denying citizens access to government information they are plainly entitled to has long been a problem. And the officials have little incentive – other than a personal sense of public duty and the public’s right to its own information – to obey the law. It is time for the General Assembly to allow judges to fine government officials who blatantly break state law and deny Hoosiers their right to public information.
