The state says Muncie officials broke the ‘Access to Public Records Act’ when it refused to disclose the reasons for firing employee, Gretchen Cheesman. The act says it must disclose the final decision in public employment, but the city said it wasn’t final because it was being appealed. The state clarified the law, saying they’re required to give the info on their final decision, regardless of whether it’s appealed, and they didn’t do that.
