What to Know: A new state law is shining a light on an appalling practice. Beginning late last year, Texas’ local governments are now required to disclose “in plain language to the public all of their taxpayer-funded lobbying contracts.”
The TPPF Take: This is a great first step toward ending taxpayer-funded lobbying.
“Local governments are spending public money on private lobbyists, oftentimes to advocate against the individual and in favor of greater government control. It’s nothing short of an outrage,” says TPPF’s James Quintero. “Exposing this practice to the light of day is the first step to ending it permanently.”
