Indiana's "Open Door Law" & Micah Beckwith's appointment to HEPL board

Basis for Indiana’s Open Door Law, enacted in 1977 & amended several times, is in American const’l representative gov’t, the ppl are entitled to full & complete info on affairs of gov’t & official acts of public officials and employees. I.C. 5-14-3-1. But the door’s not so “open.” 1/5

Example: a public agency can publish its agenda ahead of a scheduled meeting, but an agenda is not required. I.C. § 5-14-1.5-4. Both the Hamilton County Commissioners and the Hamilton East Public Library appear to be public agencies to which this law applies. I.C. § 5-14-3-2(q). 2/5

On 9/8/22, w/neither fanfare nor public notice, Micah Beckwith was placed on HEPL’s board. Had Beckwith’s appointment been announced prior to Thursday’s meeting, it would have been met with objections from the public. He took pride, in a video, of the backlash. 3/5

Beckwith stated in a 10/24/19 video that a “Hindu, an atheist or a Jew” can’t be moral. He’s a preacher at a church that has weapons training. If a Beckwith gains power, ppl seen as unable to be “moral” might lose our rights. Indiana saw this same merde show 100 yrs ago. 4/5

D.C. Stephenson was thicker around the waist, but his ideas were similar to Beckwith’s. I’m Mark Small: anti-gun, pro-choice, in favor of an improved Open Door Law & GOP nominee for Indiana House Distr 86. I approve of this blog. Hell, I wrote it. 5/5
