Braun Moves to Fix Transparency Backlog | Indianapolis News

Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description

Governor Mike Braun is launching a high-visibility intervention to fix Indiana’s stalled public access counselor office, which handles government transparency complaints but has gone months without issuing a single advisory opinion. With hundreds of unresolved cases—some dating back to last fall—Braun is temporarily adding two staffers from his office to boost capacity and promising weekly public updates on case progress. The move follows mounting criticism, including a damning IndyStar report and a legal threat from media and advocacy groups, who accuse the office of favoring agencies and violating transparency laws—especially after the current counselor, appointed last year, sided with government entities far more often than her predecessor.
