Public Access Counselor opinions 07-FC-79 / 07-FC-87 (consolidated, 25 April 2007) and the era file whole, at in.gov/pac

Roseland's newspaper was South Bend's, and the town's own record proves the arrangement. This build has carried the South Bend TribuneIn the consolidated Public Access Counselor opinion of 25 April 2007 (07-FC-79 / 07-FC-87), the question was whether the Council violated the Open Door Law around the 26 March 2007 Clay Fire Territory hearing; the Counselor held it did not, because publication notice under IC 36-8-19-6 supersedes posting — the town's statutory notice for the hearing ran by publication, in the paper a town without a paper publishes in. Across the era file the Tribune is the standing witness: the Counselor's opinions take their facts from its reports (a 13 June 2008 Tribune report fixes the meeting date in 08-FC-161), and the paper's index carries the town's quarrels meeting by meeting. Roseland items appear across the county and state press besides — the Indianapolis Times carried a Roseland robbery in 1947 — but the paper of record, the paper the town noticed in and was judged in, is the Tribune. The finding prints plainly: this town never had a newspaper because it never needed to found one; it lived its whole public life inside another city's paper, three miles from the press.
