"Public policies selected to solve state and local problems often create unintended consequences when decisions are made too rapidly in reaction to a real or perceived emergency. Problems cannot be analyzed and solved—particularly in pressure‐laden situations—without reliable facts. Indiana has satisfied its critical need for accessible and accurate facts by developing a Local Government Data Base (LGDB) to assist public decision‐makers. Such a data base does not mean that correct decisions will be made by public officials, but without accurate information, decisions are often left to chance. By establishing an accurate source of information, debate can center on the merit of issues rather than on the validity of information used by public decision‐makers." It is noted that "since the LGDB contains both current and historical information, public decision‐makers can consider alternative solutions without making hasty judgments. Data contained within the system are credible to both state and local decision‐makers since the system is based on data they supply." |
