Freedom Of Information

I challenged the South Bend Tribune to follow up on an old story they wrote about Juan Manigault's management of a state agency costing the taxpayers roughly one quarter million dollars in audit expenses to sort out how that organization spent its money and if it spent it appropropriately.

The Tribune responded by publishing a story which indicated Mr. Manigault has a letter which says the matter has been resolved. This tells us roughly nothing.

Since our only local newspaper seems to have no interest in this matter, I as a private citizen have petitioned my government for documents which will let us know the results of the audit and any other findings. When I get these documents, I will share them.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.
