Using the Texas Open Meetings Act like a cloak, and a dagger

Texas Open Meetings Act And Agenda Setting Richardson Texas Style

Received from Homemaker3000


"Misinformation is being spread by closed government apologists regarding the Texas Open Meetings Act.

There is nothing in the Open Meetings Act that says you can’t receive a factual answer to a question you ask at the time you ask it or come back the next week to receive your answer in public at a council meeting.

There is nothing in the Act that says your topic should not be put on a consideration agenda for the council’s next meeting to see if it will be a future agenda discussion topic.

This topic goes further than looking at the Act. Do you even know how an agenda is set in Richardson, TX? Have you ever seen one set in public?
