Mayor Deckard: ‘Secret ballot’ blown out of proportion
read more recent story comments Reader comments| nobodyimportant Tuesday, February 14, 2012: 6:35 pm More from nobodyimportant  | And for the record, "May a governing body vote by secret ballot? During a meeting of the governing body of a public agency, the governing body cannot vote by secret ballot. In what manner should a vote be taken? The ODL does not require votes to be taken in any particular manner, so long as a secret ballot is not utilized." This is on page 10 of "Indiana Public Access Counselor Handbook on Indiana’s Public Access Laws", updated November 2011 Mr. Mayor, if the person in the AG's office with whom you spoke is an attorney, I would get another attorney. |

It is easy to see that he went out of his way to assure a fair and non-biased approach, going so far as to not even create static among peers, let alone cause tensions among the people. Furthermore it was all comprised to set forth solid leadership, in the event of his absence, which in technical terms, an "office or post" that simply does not even exist, and may or may not ever exist. Who can kick a guy for making sure he has all his bases covered? **wonders what level of complaint would have been generated, in the event of his absence, had no member been previously designated** |

| LilaMae Wednesday, February 15, 2012: 5:04 pm More from LilaMae | Mr. Mayor, I find it comical that you are of the opinion some business that you conduct may not have influence on the public. Ultimately any business performed effects or trickles down to your constiuents in one form or another. It would be nice if the law were followed. It would eliminate the outcry of your wrong doing. |
