Texas Senate committee to focus on public access to government

 AUSTIN — A new Senate committee will focus on public access to government, though the panel’s chairman warned Wednesday that open government is a two-way street. “Meetings need to be open. Records need to be accessible and available without a lot of undue delay,” said Sen. Jeff Wentworth, a San Antonio Republican named by Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst to lead the Senate Select Committee on Open Government.
