STATEHOUSE- Rep. Cleo Duncan (R-Greensburg) received the Frank O'Bannon Sunshine Award today during the Hoosier State Press Association's annual meeting and government conference.

The award, first presented in 2005, is named in remembrance of the late Gov. O'Bannon who died in 2003 during his second term. The prestigious award honors individuals, groups and organizations for their efforts to protect and enhance the concept of open government in Indiana.

"It is truly an honor to be recognized for an award that represents integrity and transparency in government operations," said Rep. Duncan. "As as a member of the Indiana General Assembly, we are the voice for all Hoosiers in our state and I am dedicated to doing right by the people of district 67."

Rep. Duncan has been a state legislator since being elected in 1994. She is currently the Ranking Republican Member of the House Roads and Transportation Committee and Committee on Financial Institutions.

Vevay Newspapers and Ripley Publishing nominated Rep. Duncan for the award.
