At this time District 6 consisted of Angelina, Newton, Shelby, and San Augustine counties. As a legislator, Temple was deeply involved as a co-sponsor of the 1973 State Code of Ethics and Financial Disclosure for Elected and Appointed Officials legislation, a response to the Shaprstown scandal. The legislation required state officials to disclose their sources of income, forced candidates to Buddy Temple Railroad Commission Records Records The History Center, Diboll, TX Page 1 of 9 make public more details about their campaign finances, opened up most governmental records to citizen scrutiny, expanded the requirement for open meetings of governmental policy-making agencies, and imposed new disclosure regulations on paid lobbyists.
