The problem isn’t #PoliceBrutality: It’s bringing a toddler to hearing where #commissioners ignore a string of recent shootings.

#CorporateSponsored #Corruption: Although Heern found that Democratic #commissioners were more likely to have an #environmental background than Republican commissioners, he otherwise didn’t see much difference between #redandblue states, in terms of who is #regulating #utilities — for better or worse. Governors and appointees of #bothparties are susceptible to #industryinfluence.

Yesterday.... I had a MASSIVE WIN on open governmental records!
#Opengovernment #health #healthdepartment #USA #FOAA #Online #County #Commissioners
Up to yesterday, Monroe County Indiana (Bloomington, home of IU) did not publish any health records anywhere online. In fact, one had to go in person from 10a-1p to the Health Department, and request **paper** records. Then, a week later, they would make them available at $.10/page. No online or digital records.
Yesterday, our health administrator told the County Commissioners the all restaurant and food based health records will be available from a website by the end of the week, and no later than 2/7 if there's problems!
I call that my good deed done in civics!
