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.

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.
