The Texas Water Development Board heeded our insistence that their two-day conference
starting tomorrow at UT’s AT&T Conference Center is a public meeting. That means the door is open (without the $525 charge!) so long as you do not eat or drink. We hear there are plenty of public water fountains!
If you’re going, just check in with the lovely people at the Registration Desk, get your badge and packet, and enjoy.
We can use some help taping some of the sessions and have extra tape recorders.
Text us at 512.657.2089 or call the main number at 512.213.4511 and leave a message –- the message is then sent to us — or reply to this email for more information.
We owe a huge thank you to the Freedom of Information Foundation of Texas, and one of their volunteer attorneys who happened to be on call that day, while on vacation mind you – Austin’s own open government watchdog, Bill Aleshire. No doubt, Aleshire’s finesse and knowledge of the law made a huge difference. FOIFT is a non-profit organization dedicated to transparency in Texas government.
