Testimony Before Texas House Appropriations Committee on Spending Limit Reform (HB 208 & HJR 1)

I appreciated the opportunity to testify before the Texas House Appropriations Committee regarding strengthening the state's current weak spending limit by passing a conservative spending limit. House Bill 208 gets Texas much closer to the ideal limit, which I outlined in my testimony. While there are some beneficial aspects of the House Joint Resolution 1, I provided some recommended changes to improve the resolution.
