A recent report by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group Education Fund and Frontier Group gave Indiana a D+ when it comes to providing adequate information about its corporate handouts.
One example comes from Fort Wayne, where City Council members just approved a $16 million subsidy for “Project Mastodon” – a warehouse whose operator refused to be publicly identified.
City leaders, including Mayor Tom Henry, rejected requests to divulge the recipient of the corporate handout, citing their signing of nondisclosure agreements. Even some City Council members who hadn t signed refused to divulge the company to voters.
