Spending vs. Taxation: Does the Conservative Texas Budget Meet the Needs of Texans? – PO2016

Policy Orientation 2016

Wednesday, January 6 • 1:30-2:45 p.m.

A child’s education is one of the many things that can’t get funded unless the state’s budget is passed, making passing a budget arguably the most important thing a legislator does. Given that the 84th Texas Legislature passed a budget increase of less than population growth plus inflation, does this constitute a conservative budget and can it meet the needs of Texans? Join the Center for Fiscal Policy’s session with budget experts who will discuss these issues and more.

Featuring 
Rep. Greg Bonnen, Texas House of Representatives
Rep. Donna Howard, Texas House of Representatives
Bob Williams, President, State Budget Solutions

Moderated by The Honorable Talmadge Heflin, Director, Center for Fiscal Policy, Texas Public Policy Foundation
