Indiana inspector general discontinues publication of investigative reports
[]
News – Indiana Public Radio
The Indiana Office of Inspector General will no longer publish summaries of its investigations into alleged fraud, mismanagement and wrongdoing in state government.
State law classifies OIG investigative reports as confidential, but reports can be released if the governor or inspector general determines the information is in the public’s interest.
Inspector General Jared Prentice is taking a different approach following a review OIG officials say raised questions about legal risk.
Mitch Daniels created the Office of Inspector General in 2005 to investigate allegations of waste, fraud, abuse, mismanagement and wrongdoing in state government.
Court records and State Ethics Commission reports remain public record, offering at least partial access to information the OIG used to release.
