Dallas Morning News Watchdog Columnist Dave Lieber wrote a column, “Here’s How a Trustee Says School Boards Violate Texas Open Meetings Law,” dated August 3, 2018, that explores a newly filed Brewer Storefront Texas Open Meetings Act (TOMA) lawsuit. The column focuses on a lawsuit filed by Brewer Storefront, the firm’s community service legal affiliate, against Richardson Independent School District (RISD) and the RISD Board of Trustees.
In part, Lieber writes that the “12-page lawsuit is the most detailed explanation The Watchdog has seen for how a public government board can ignore the open meetings law.” He writes that the Brewer Storefront plaintiff is “showing leadership here by standing up to a widespread secretive culture that enables public officials to keep private what's supposed to be public.”
Lieber is a veteran Dallas/Fort Worth investigative journalist whose focuses on “exposing bad practices in business and government.”
