Office of Texas Attorney General Rules City Must Broadcast Public Comment on the Internet Effective January 1, 2016

We've been in touch with the Office of Attorney General for the State of Texas.  Our question was concerning the implications of recently passed House Bill 283, requiring City Commission meetings to be shared on the internet.  When we mentioned that the City of Brownsville had been excluding the Public Comment portion of the meeting from the public broadcast and video, an attorney with the office indicated that was no longer lawful.  We will have the full story later this evening when we get back home.
