Texas State Report: Texas Has Too Many State Reports

A 668-page report by the state of Texas has discovered that Texas has…too many state reports. The investigation took 18 months and included more than 170 agencies. Yeah…

AUSTIN — The Texas State Library and Archives Commission is declaring there are too many state reports.

It says so in a 668-page report.

The project took 18 months and included the commission’s small team canvassing more than 170 agencies, and public colleges and universities, checking on all the reports they are assigned to do.

In the past, the state regularly compiled a list of about 400 reports that agencies were required by the Legislature to produce. But the commission found more than 1,600, and state records administrator Michael Heskett is pretty sure his team hasn’t found them all.

So…they wrote a long report to say that…ok.
