This primer examined how Texas can enhance its approach to parole and re-entry, in order to break the cycle of youth crimes so there are fewer victims and taxpayers pay less to re-incarcerate the same youths. Panelists included:
The Honorable Jim McReynolds, Chairman, House Corrections Committee
The Honorable Robert Eckels, Former Harris County Judge
This Policy Primer reviewed flexible permitting policies in Texas and answered the question: Who is the best to administer and measure clean air while preserving a robust economy?
Featuring:
The Honorable Jim Keffer Chairman, Energy Resources Committee
Richard Hyde Deputy Director, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
Rich Walsh Vice President and General Counsel for Environmental Safety and Regulatory Affairs, Valero Energy Corporation
Carl Edlund, Director of Permitting, Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6
