IMMUNITY OF CONTROLLER

First mistake made by Mayor England:

IC 36-3-5-2.6

Immunity of controller and deputy controllers; exception for gross negligence
Sec. 2.6 The:
(1) controller is not liable, in an individual capacity, for any act or omission occurring in connection with the performance of the controller's duty as a fiscal officer of.
(a) the consolidated city; and
(b) the county; and

(2)deputy controller is not liable, in an individual capacity, for any act or omission occurring in connection with the performance of the deputy controller's duty;
unless the act or omission constitutes gross negligence or an intentional disregard of the controller's or the deputy controller's duty.

Freedom Of Speech would like for our readers to notice the law states: "act or omission constitutes gross negligence." We've already had 1 year of gross negligence can we afford 3 more?
