Mario Gallegos v. the Rodeo

Miya Shay's political blog reports on a bill filed by State Senator Mario Gallegos which would require:

non-profits to appoint a board of directors that reflect the diversity of its constituents, answer fully to all open records requests, and make reasonable efforts to increase minority participation in contracts.

The city and county spend a lot of taxpayer money on the Rodeo and there are questions about where the bulk of the funds collected by the rodeo go. They don't all go to scholarships.

The bill is SB 1196.
