  1. Good to see a report on public access issues every once in a while. Indeed, there are many opportunities to publicly report and reinforce the importance of the public’s right of access to public records and to attend open public meetings. Unfortunately, most of the time it seems that average citizens, rather than corporations, are the parties most often on the receiving end of agency mis- or mal-feasance in failing to comply with the two primary public access statutes. But these circumstances are rarely reported.

  2. Whats news? Carmel has no transparency under the Brainard Regime. If they did Brainard would have been voted out a long time ago. However, one day the truth will come out about all his shaenanigans.

  3. Shenanigans???? You might want to drive around Carmel and see what he has done over the years. What used to be closed factories, a closed lumber yard, etc. is now the Monon center with apartments, restaurants, beautiful trails, etc. PS He’s duly elected every 4 years….that’s the voters’ choice NOT a regime.

  4. We moved here 40 years ago next month. Downtown was the Hardware store, a dollar movie theater, and of course Old town Tavern. Look at pictures from 1981 and look around now. Carmel residents are fortunate that we’ve had good partnerships with the city officials and business interests. We live in a beautiful city!

  5. Great. Now get on the Carmel school board that is restricting meetings to 10 “chosen ones” and keeping the public and more importantly the parents out. Too much in Carmel goes down as in a tin pot dictatorship.

  6. Carmel is a great place to live, no question. At least there is a mayor that has interest in the city, unlike the city to the south. If one actuly pays attention to the goings on of the Carmel city government, one might start raising eyebrows. The GOAT debacle is a microcosm. This town has lost a lot of original character and the city owns WAY too much “private sector” property. I happen to like lumber yards and the old theatre was likely more profitable than the performing arts center? Cool town, but lots of “stuff” behind closed doors – time for changes.
    GO GOAT!
