| “Limitations on spending work like a governor on a truck,” said The Honorable Talmadge Heflin, director of the Center for Fiscal Policy at TPPF. “If the truck's speed is too fast, it goes out of control and wrecks. In times of rising tax revenue in Texas, spending it all grows government at a pace that is not sustainable and eventually wrecks the economy. This section on government spending outlines how to take steps to avoid this next session and beyond.”
The 2017-18 “Legislator’s Guide to the Issues” includes recommendations on the following spending topics:
- Conservative Texas Budget
- Tax and Expenditure Limit
- Sales Tax Reduction Fund
- Transparency and Budgeting
- Understanding Federal Funds
- Transportation
- Economic Stabilization Fund
- Public Pension Reform
- State Debt
The Foundation’s 2017-18 Legislator's Guide to the Issues, the eighth edition of this popular desk reference on Texas policy, is a distillation of the knowledge the Foundation has developed from its many years of research on the key issues facing the Texas Legislature. Each entry provides a quick overview of the topic, with footnotes that point readers to additional resources.
