Travel Security Records Remain Secret in Texas

[douglas9]

CN)- A Texas state judge in Austin ruled Thursday that the Texas Department of Public Safety does not have to release travel records of Governor Rick Perry's security staff.
"It's a sad, sad world where we have to do this... and it leads to less transparency," state District Judge Scott Jenkins said.
According to the Austin American-Statesman, Jenkins' ruling reverses a decision he made in 2008 when he held the information can be made public under Texas Public Information Act requests by the Statesman, Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News.
On Thursday, Jenkins concluded that releasing travel voucher and receipt information could compromise the governor's safety.
