Eight of those thirteen findings represent material weaknesses. The auditors have issued a qualified opinion on compliance with applicable requirements for three of the five major federal programs.

DECENTRALIZATION OF METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT: REFORM IN INDIANAPOLIS In every city the people are divided into three sorts; the very rich, the very poor and those who are between them.... The most perfect political community must be amongst those who are in the middle rank, and those states are best in- stituted wherein these are a large and more respectable part, if possible, than both the other; or, if that cannot be, at least than either of them separate; so that being thrown into the balance it may prevent either scale from preponderating. -Aristotle, Politics, Book IV, Chapter XI, pp. 126-27. I. INTRODUCTION The local government of Indianapolis-Marion County, Indiana, has recently undergone a major reorganization. As of January 1, 1970, the Indianapolis city limits were expanded to the Marion County lines, and a new unified legislative and executive structure replaced the old city, county, and special district authorities.1 The enactment was prompted by many of the same problems facing all urban centers.

  • RECENT DEVELOPMENTS in INDIANA CIVIL PROCEDURE During the Survey Period, Both the Indiana Supreme Court and the Indiana Court Of
    RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN INDIANA CIVIL PROCEDURE MICHAEL A. DORELLI* During the survey period,1 both the Indiana Supreme Court and the Indiana Court of Appeals continued to address a broad range of procedural issues of significance to Indiana practitioners. Further, the Indiana Supreme Court ordered several amendments to the Indiana Rules of Trial Procedure, with immediate practical impact. I. AMENDMENTS TO INDIANA RULES OF TRIAL PROCEDURE A. Summary Judgment Hearing A hearing is no longer mandatory upon the filing of a motion for summary judgment, due to a recent amendment to Rule 56 of the Indiana Rules of Trial Procedure (“Rules” or “Indiana Trial Rules”). Effective January 1, 2006, a hearing on a summary judgment motion is mandatory only if “any party” files a motion requesting the hearing within ten days after the summary judgment response “was filed or was due.”2 The new rule leaves open the question of when the request for hearing must be filed if the response is filed before it is due. Until clarification is attained, practitioners would be well advised to file the request for hearing within ten days of filing if the summary judgment response is filed early. B. Documents or Information Excluded from Public Access Effective January 1, 2005, Rule 5(G) was amended to require that documents excluded from public access pursuant to Indiana Administrative Rule 9(G)(1) must be filed on light green paper, and marked “Not for Public Access.”3 Rule 5(G) was amended further during the current survey period, effective January 1, 2006, to provide that whole documents that are excluded from public access pursuant to Administrative Rule 9(G)(1) shall be tendered on light green paper * Partner, Hoover Hull LLP, Indianapolis, Indiana.
