The report includes 27 recommendations for making Indiana's local government more efficient, effective, understandable and accountable. It calls for changes in counties, cities, townships, libraries, schools and more.

If enacted, the recommendations would reduce the number of local government units by 37 percent and reduce the number of elected officials by more than half.
