INDIANAPOLIS -- In a recent letter to the Indiana Office of the Inspector General and the state's ethics commission, the League of Women Voters of Indiana is questioning the use of the Indiana Secretary of State's name on several taxpayer-funded documents from the office. According to a letter from the league, provided to FOX59/CBS4 , the organization is questioning whether or not the current officeholder, Diego Morales, "(overstepped) the limits of government ethics law" by featuring his name/likeness prominently in several documents, including election guides, posters and a brochure describing the office. Where can I vote early in Indianapolis? In the letter, sent earlier this month to Inspector General David Cook and Regan Perrodin, the director of the state ethics commission, the League of Women Voters cited a law from the Indiana General Assembly in March 2010 that banned state election officials from using their own names and likenesses in publicly funded communications, except for specific circumstances. "(The law) provides that a state elected official may not use the state elected official's name or likeness in an audio, video or newspaper publication paid for entirely or in part with appropriations made by the general assembly, regardless of the source of the money," the law states. "(The law) provides that this prohibition does not apply to a communication made by the governor concerning the public health or safety, or by a state elected official for a publication that has a 'compelling public policy reason' that is approved by the budget committee and the budget agency. (The law) provides that a state elected official may use the title of the office the state elected official holds in a communication." The League of Women Voters of Indiana highlighted several documents in question, including a "Blow the Whistle" election, a 180-page document that the organization said cost more than $35,000. The letter reads that 600 were reportedly printed and distributed before the 2024 primary election. "The information, though pertinent to the Office of the Secretary of State, appears to be more of a campaign ploy for the Secretary of State himself even though he's not on the ballot," the letter reads. The individual's name is larger than the name of the office. This is a great deal of money to spend on such a document and a flashy whistle. It appears to be a gimmick to use taxpayer money to keep a name in front of the public and other individuals in official places rather than provide information that may be helpful to 92 county election boards." Other documents that the league references in its letter includes a road map, a brochure describing the office as well as an additional state election guide that has the "Secretary's name and picture prominent on the documents."

Officials said that the message of each poster is related to the voter registration deadline, but "the message itself is overpowered by the Secretary's name." "Perhaps all of these were approved 'by the budget committee and the budget agency' which appears to make it acceptable," the letter reads, "but it also appears that all these publications and posters with the Secretary's name and picture are using taxpayer money to campaign before the fact. We would appreciate your review and response to these concerns."

We believe the office, which is not partisan, rather than the officeholder, who is partisan, should be credited with publications from the office in question.  And we believe the public should be aware of how their tax money is being spent."
