[edit] A little push to open door to public

"From the standpoint of power to the people, one of the most encouraging developments of the current Indiana General Assembly session has been the easy Senate passage of Bill 232.

As expected, the measure to put teeth into enforcement of open-records and open-meetings laws had its fangs filed down considerably in committee. Yet it still meets its essential purpose of imposing consequences on public servants who refuse to carry out their legal duty to let citizens know what their government is up to."
