Ind. Gov't. - Legislature again has the opportunity to ban serial meetings

As indicated in this ILB entry from Jan. 2nd, Senator Bev Gard's bill last year to ban serial meetings received much editorial praise. But it failed.

This year's effort, SB 89, has passed the Senate, 48-2. It has not yet been assigned to a House committee.

Last year's effort, SB 310, passed the Senate 49-0, and died in the House Local Government Committee.

The Indianapolis Star published an editorial supporting SB 89 on Tuesday. Both the Evansville Courier& Press and the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette has supportive editorials today, here and here.
