I'm not even going to write an introduction to this one. I'm just gonna say two words for you: "Corpus Christi."



From the Caller-Times:

CORPUS CHRISTI — The Corpus Christi Housing Authority board of commissioners discussed the defunct D.N. Leathers Townhomes project at its meeting Tuesday — but the public wasn’t privy to that conversation or notified beforehand that the housing project would be discussed.

The board’s agenda included an executive session, to be conducted behind closed doors. But no issues for discussion were listed under the executive session, as would be required by the Texas Open Meetings Act ...

Public information advocate Joe Larsen, a Houston attorney for the Freedom of Information Foundation of Texas, called Tuesday’s meeting “one of the clearest and most profound violations I’ve ever heard of” of the Texas Open Meetings Act.
