Did this also happen in TX? Campus Carry & Police Chiefs
Posted: Wed Apr 08, 2015 11:52 am
Were all those uniformed and armed (university/college) police chiefs "on duty" when they testified in Austin? Or did they officially take the day off without pay?
Apparently in FL, in addition to being "on duty" when testifying, some FL police chiefs also submitted travel expenses, to be reimbursed.
Does anyone know what happened here in TX?
Did campus-carry opponents go too far?

Florida Carry Inc., filed the 10 complaints Monday with the Florida Commission on Ethics, accusing the police chiefs of failing to register as lobbyists and of using state funds and resources to attend the hearing. Friday pointed out in his complaints that the chiefs were on-duty when they lobbied lawmakers.
emails I received Tuesday show that Janet Owen, University of North Florida’s vice-president of governmental affairs, laid out the strategy for the campus police chiefs to follow when they appeared before the legislative committees.
In other words, Owen may have orchestrated the rule breaking, if in fact it did occur.
There’s a legal term for his, which I am purposefully avoiding.
