[Watchdogs] Troy Fraser files PEC reform bill on last day to file bills for 82nd Legislature

[Andy Wilson]

http://www.legis.state.tx.us/BillLookup/Text.aspx?LegSess=82R&Bill=SB1743

Only applies to co-ops over 170,000 members.

Mandates single member districts

Disallows proxy votes with very few exceptions

Disallows offering incentives for proxy votes

Requires some minimal open meetings and records policies (basically that
co-ops have to follow their bylaws)

What does everyone think?  I'll keep a watch on this and let people know if
a committee hearing is called.
