To San Marcos Daily Record:
A recent open records request was filed to raise public awareness about possible unethical conflict of interest, unacceptable practices, by-laws and possible financial improprieties within the Hays County Historical Commission (HCHC.) The response received was less than transparent and too little too late.
On Jan. 5, the Hays County Commissioners Court proceeded to adopt a list of names recommended by the HCHC ad hoc committee. Commissioners Mark Jones (Pct. 2), Lon Shell (Pct. 3) and Walt Smith (Pct. 4) voted 3-2 prior to the open records request response. Barely returning from the holiday season also helped endorse the agenda.
