[edit] Official: East Chicago violated records law

"Indiana's public access counselor has found that East Chicago officials violated the state's open records law by failing to promptly respond to a newspaper's requests for city spending documents.

Public Access Counselor Heather Willis Neal said in a two-page opinion that the city's "pattern of unresponsiveness and nondisclosure" violated the spirit and letter of the state law designed to require public officials to disclose how public money is spent."
