Advocates preview 2015 Lege agendas

On Friday at 1:30 p.m., the Texas Criminal Justice Coalition and the Texas Public Policy Foundation will give presentations at a criminal-justice forum sponsored by the Legislative Budget Board discussing the group's agendas for the coming legislative session. See details here. Your correspondent can't make it as I'll be at a Forensic Science Commission meeting and then, in the afternoon, tutoring 4th and 5th graders at a Math Pentathlon practice session. But I'll see if the presenters will let me post any handouts from the event and if so, add them to this post.

MORE: See TCJC's power point presentation (ppt), a handout detailing their Lege agenda, and a timeline of recent criminal justice reforms. AND MORE: Here's the TPPF presentation. Thanks to Ana Correa and Marc Levin for sharing them.

I wish all government entity meetings were broadcast on the web for those of us who can't be at every dog and pony show could watch.
