2019 Fiscal Responsibility Index
« on: Friday, Jun 07, 2019 03:15 am »
EmpowerTexans

The Fiscal Responsibility Index is a measurement of how lawmakers perform on size and role of government issues. Texans for Fiscal Responsibility uses exemplar votes on core budget and free enterprise issues that demonstrate legislators’ governing philosophy.

The public — including lawmakers — are notified in advance of TFR’s position on the issues to be rated, and prior to votes taken on the floor.

I've been trying to get him to come talk to our conservative group.  He's been embroiled in some strange texting a woman scandal and was investigated by UT.  Do you know anything about that?

My old rep Sarah Davis if the bottom feeder for the Republicans.

She has actually deteriorated significantly since I left Houston several years ago.
