TX City Officials Challenge Open Meeting Rules
How can they do their jobs if we're watching?
You knew they would. We said they would. The Texas city officials who continue to insist the Texas Open Meetings Act is unconstitutional are going to the Supreme Court.
William McKamie, one of the attorneys representing the group we fondly refer to as the Furtive Fifteen, told the Amarillo Globe-News the case belonged in the hands of the "guardians of the First Amendment."
There is no guarantee the Supreme Court will agree to hear the case, and from the rulings in every lower court, as faithfully reported for more than a year-and-a-half by your Texas Watchdog, the case more appropriately belongs in Sunday night's recycling.
