> took a recess and suspended all further public comments for the remainder of the night.
More and more typical of public meetings. When things don’t go according to the pre-determined plan, mics are muted, video feed is cut and the meeting is ended until they can sneak their agenda through when no one is watching.
My county school board recently had a meeting. About half didn’t show up in person and were supposedly remote.
They limited public attendance even though there are no restrictions in place.
Online public comment was done first delaying those citizens who came in person by a couple hours.
Public comment was reduced from three to two minutes with no prior notice.
These elected employees are just scum.
The remedy is to void any action taken at meetings that violate open meetings provisions of state law.
Here are the applicable Indiana statutes.

I am A County Supervisor in Arizona. We let everyone talk for their allotted three minutes. At times it is uncomfortable. We have never muted anyone.
