House Approves SBOE Video Webcasts
Howard's bill now moves to Senate
By Lee Nichols, 1:32PM, Mon. Mar. 30, 2009
Austin Rep. Donna Howard’s HB 772, which would require video webcasts of State Board of Education meetings, easily passed the House moments ago. Currently, SBOE webcasts are audio only, which makes it difficult for people around the state to know whether a completely idiotic statement was uttered by their SBOE rep or someone else’s.
The bill now must get through the Senate.
