Governor’s administration deletes helpful transparency tool

Indiana's website has removed a valuable "Find a Person" tool that previously allowed residents to easily locate taxpayer-funded state employees, a move that has sparked concerns over declining transparency under Gov. Mike Braun's administration. This tool had fallen out of date, with new hires often not being added, but its deletion is seen as a step backward in public access to government information. This action underscores broader issues regarding government accountability and the public's ability to engage with state officials, raising questions about the administration's commitment to transparency and citizen oversight.
