Recently, somewhere in the Austin Metropolitan Statistical Area, I attended a meeting where a number of candidates for city council spoke.
And they were asked if they supported Prop 1.
Now, I can't recall their answers. But, if I recall correctly, almost every one of them proclaimed their support (if not undying love and affection) for open government.
So here's what I wondered: If they are for open government, and Prop 1 goes down in flames, would one of our enterprising city council members introduce "open government" rules?
Somehow, I kinda doubt it.
So how supportive of "open government" are our city leaders, really?

From the Texas Alliance for Life's "Voter Guide":
"The candidates were asked whether they supported, opposed, or were undecided on the following:"
Jeff Fleece supports "[t]he reversal of the U.S. Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision, which allows abortion for any reason, even as a method of birth control, and even in the late stages of pregnancy."
Translation: If you are a woman, Fleece believes that the Texas State Legislature, not you, should be the final arbiter on what happens to your body.
