This is a GREAT Bill. When a government official is conducting business, the public has a right to see what is going on. That includes access to the government official's emails. the problem is, when an official does not want something to be seen, the official just sends the email using a private email account. This is wrong. Texas State Rep. Todd Hunter has introduced a bill to create guidelines/regulations dealing with open records requests and officials using private email accounts to conduct public business.

Black Jasper, TX Police Chief Rodney Pearson FIRED - Race Card will be Played
Weeks ago I wrote an article about how Police Chief Rodney Pearson knew that he was going to be fired soon so he filed a last minute discrimination complaint to try to bully the Jasper, TX city council into being too scared to fire him even though the city has many very valid reasons to fire him.
Pearson's Bully Tactics DID NOT work!
The City FIRED him yesterday with a vote of 4-1 after a 2 hour long city council discussion over Pearson.
I first heard about Pearson getting fired because another east Texas Conservative blog, Not on the Payroll, quickly posted up that Pearson had been fired.
Here are some of the things discussed in that meeting, according to the Beaumont Enterprise:
Pearson was questioned about different areas including hours he has put in during his tenure as police chief.
Being questioned by Johnson, Pearson said he works from "8:30 to 4:45 every day." But Johnson pointed to figures that showed that Pearson was out a number of days during the months of February through June.
Johnson also questioned the time that Capt. Curtis Frame puts in the office as well.
Lout centered his questions on if certain police procedures were followed during investigations and how come Pearson is not called out to major crime scenes.
"In the past, when we had a major crime, you would always see Chief (Todd) Hunter at the scene," Lout said. "Where are you at these scenes?"
