Indiana Campaign Financing Investigation Petition:
It seems that We The People of Indiana are partially tax funding election campaigns through the utilization of tax funded resources such as the in.gov server and statutorily non-compliant employees and office divisions. It also seems evident that there should have been many Indiana representative governmental entities aware of these actions and failed to act.
On October 01, 2024, I submitted an Access to Public Records Act Indiana IC 5-14-3-4(b)(8) request for personnel files and the record of oath of office for the office of the Indiana attorney general press secretary as explained below. On November 16, 2024, after multiple attempts to obtain these records, I have been informed repeatedly that the office of the Indiana attorney general has not had an adequate amount of time to process my requests. They repeatedly reference the Indiana Public Access Counselor's "advisory opinions" (18-FC-46) in these deviations from Indiana access laws. However, there has been enough time for 20+ campaign propaganda postings from the office of the Indiana attorney general on our in.gov server (press@atg.in.gov and atg@subscriptions.in.gov). An IC 5-14-3 Access to Public Records Act request submitted to Celeste Croft, Operations Coordinator Advisory Division Office of the Attorney General (celeste.croft@atg.in.gov) can obtain the contents of these and any email messages from the in.gov server.
The following are the contents of requests for formal investigations of Indiana campaign financing that were submitted before the 2024 election to the Indiana Ethics Commission and the Indiana Disciplinary Commission. It is doubtful that these investigations will be properly conducted without public petition. I have further evidence of the Indiana Disciplinary Commission's failure to properly investigate Indiana representative government entities in the past. This concerns mishandled evidence by the Indiana State Police Records Department. (Indiana Disciplinary Commission grievances 24-0870, 24-0871, and 24-0872). I have also made multiple attempts to the Indiana Inspector General to address Indiana professional licensing fraud with no response. This will be the contents of another petition.
The following link contains the statutes referenced in the contents of the campaign financing investigation requests below:

These requests for investigation are regarding the seemingly statutorily non-compliant position of the office of the Indiana attorney general press secretary. This position does not seem to be in accordance with Indiana statutes IC 4-6-1-4 and IC 4-6-1-5 listed in the link below. I have the list of the many employees of the office of the Indiana attorney, which includes press secretary Slayde Settle. An Access to Public Records Act Indiana IC 5-14-3-4(b)(8) request for personnel files and the record of oath of office for the office of the Indiana attorney general press secretary Slayde Settle submitted to Celeste Croft, Operations Coordinator Advisory Division Office of the Attorney General (celeste.croft@atg.in.gov) should lawfully obtain these files. There are specific instructions for making Indiana Access to Public Records Act requests below.
Indiana statutes IC 4-6-1-4, IC 4-6-1-5, IC 4-6-2 and Article 1.5 also do not seem to include the endorsement of Todd Rokita in any way by a local entertainment personality through the "Unclaimed Indiana" division. These seem to be obvious cases of utilizing our Indiana State resources for his campaign propaganda. This was evidenced in the October 28, 2024, campaign propaganda put forth from atg@subscriptions.in.gov. An IC 5-14-3 Access to Public Records Act request submitted to press@atg.in.gov or celeste.croft@atg.in.gov can be submitted to obtain the contents of this propaganda, and all propaganda from a specified time frame.
This also suggests the probability that statutorily non-compliant entertainment personalities are receiving payment from the state of Indiana for their services in the promotion of Todd Rokita. The article publicly reads "Attorney General Todd Rokita and Sammy Terry team up again for Halloween to reunite Hoosiers with unclaimed property." As all articles, including "public service announcements,'" put forth by atg@subscriptions.in.gov, this prominently and specifically featured Todd Rokita's name.
On October 01, 2024, I made an Indiana IC 5-14-3-4(b)(8) records request regarding office of the attorney general press secretary Settle for all records pursuant of that statute, and the Indiana IC 5-14-3 Access to Public Records Act request for a copy of the record of the oath of office administered to press secretary Settle "which shall be kept on file in the attorney general's office" as specified in Indiana IC 4-6-1-4 for statutorily compliant office of the Indiana attorney general employees. As of October 31, 2024, I have not received that request.

Our First Amendment Rights are very arrogantly violated in Indiana by our representative government. The ideals put forth in Indiana IC 5-14-3-1 are nonexistent. The APRA laws are seemingly changed with no due process whatsoever. If records are requested, they will have to be referenced specifically as Indiana Access to Public Records Act (APRA) requests. Referencing them as anything else is cause for denial.
Requesting only information is also cause for denial. However, receiving only informal information, if anything, is probable. They must be specific "reasonably particular" records requests. Unfortunately, reading comprehension does not seem to be typical in our representative government, so no matter how specific, the request will probably be deemed "not reasonably particular."
I also strongly suggest including the following statutes in full on each request. However, these statutes will likely have changed before or just after the records are requested:
IC 5-14-3-9(a) requires acknowledgment of public records requests within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of electronic records requests. IC 5-14-3-3 provides the obligation to inspect public records unless they are exempt from disclosure pursuant to IC 5-14-3-4. IC 5-14-3-1 states that this chapter be liberally construed to implement this policy. IC 5-14-3-9 requires the custodian of the records to provide a written reason if it denies the public records request.
If specific employee files are requested, I suggest including the following statute in full on each request:
IC 5-14-3-4(b)(8) provides the statutory obligation to release: the name, compensation, job title, business address, business telephone number, job description, education and training background, previous work experience, and dates of first and last employment of present or former officers or employees of the agency.
The Indiana Access to Public Records Act laws will undoubtedly be violated. The custodians of the records will also undoubtedly reference the Indiana Public Access Counselor's "advisory opinions" when doing so. When this occurs, there will be a need to fill out the form in the link below and follow the instructions on submitting it to the office of the Indiana Public Access Counselor. This is a necessary step, but it will likely not resolve the issue.
