What is the name of your state? Indiana
I have not actually been fired and am likely am in no danger of it if I shut up. What is happening bothers me so much I might get myself fired by doing the things the ethics manual says that I should do.
here is my basic story.

I checked the law in Indiana and found that this is a single
consent state for recording telephone conversations but I am
not sure if its ok for face to face. Well I have been
recording and do have somethings that are useful.
Since I can prove many things.....what if I made this public in order to bring things to a stop?
If it would also be helpful I can give other dishonest and
simply wrong things that have been happening here. I just
posted the one I thought stood the best chance of being
illegal. Maybe I should list other things.
