On December 1st, the Hamilton County Reporter carried a story that the Hamilton County Commissioners had asked the Indiana State Police to independently investigate claims made by a discharged employee in the county treasurer’s office.  A lawsuit filed against Hamilton County and Treasurer Jennifer Templeton alleges that the office allowed county employees and family members to waive penalties on late property tax payments.

Indianapolis Star reporter John Tuohy wrote a story appearing in the December 16th edition of the newspaper saying that the Indiana State Police will investigate these allegations.
