Breaking a Nondisclosure Agreement From Todd Rokita's Office Could Cost Employees $25,000

John Pelissero, senior scholar, government ethics, quoted by the Indy Star.

John Pelissero, a government ethics scholar with the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University, said Rokita's NDA reads like a wide-ranging "withholding of information agreement ... rather than just asking employees of the AG’s office to recognize that they have confidentiality obligations.” 

"You just wonder what the interest of the public is that they're attempting to serve with such a broad, blanket secrecy agreement," he said.
