Shifting more state functions to non-profits raises transparency questions

When Land Commissioner Bush testified before a Texas House subcommittee about the details of a private non-profit organization's management of the treasured Alamo, he assured lawmakers and the public that their business would comply with transparency laws that allow the public to know what's going on. Weeks later, though, his own agency declined to make public meeting minutes and other operational details about the Alamo Endowment and the Alamo Complex Management Company, and said "The Endowment and the ACM are GLO contractors, not governmental entities."
