[edit] Indiana must play catch-up in online records action

"Two bills before the 2009 legislature would make it a little easier for Hoosiers to fulfill their roles as watchdogs of state government. The measures are welcome in light of the embarrassing Sunshine Week report that ranked Indiana next to last in availability of government records online.

The report found that many important public documents -- political campaign contributions, disciplinary actions against doctors and lawyers and environmental citations, for example -- are posted on government Web sites in most states but not here."
