The legislation we earlier told you about, HB 1306, which would effectively bar members of the public from making public records requests because of the exorbitant fees governmental agencies will be permitted to charge you for your request if they claim it takes an employee more than two hours to search for the records you request easily passed the Indiana Senate on a 38-10 vote. Click here to see if your senator is among the overwhelming number of members of our corrupt state legislature who are want to keep government records secretive so you can't discern all of the criminal activity and malfeasance they are undertaking at your expense.
Hat tip to Indiana Law Blog, which has been monitoring the progress of this horrible legislation. Expect to begin paying $20 an hour for all of your public records requests thanks to this legislation. Incredibly, the State House reporters have completely ignored this piece of crap legislation, showing just how badly they've become embedded in the corruption that permeates our State House. Their employers should fire all of them on the spot for the dereliction of their journalistic responsibilities to the public.

Mike Delph, John Waterman, and Karen Tailian all voted against this piece of crap bill! I know that Waterman is facing a primary challenge all because Mitch is pissed at him! All Hoosiers must support these true Hoosier servants for voting against this bill! Delph for Governor!
A lobbyist shared with some state activists that many of our munis already print at a "profit" or inflated per copy costs.
So disappointed in fiscal conservative Senator Schneider voting for this bill. I hope he explains his vote in his next mailing. This is the problem with having one party domination of the Governor's office, and both legislative bodies. It's no longer the other party that's the "enemy" to hold off, it's factions within the party threatening control over one another. If you don't want to end up sitting with Democrats or losing your leadership perks, you cave in to liberals cloaked in elephant disguises that shed their party principles on an as needed basis.
Schneider will do whatever it takes to gain the approval of the GOP establishment. He has gone over to the Dark Side.
