Planning for Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Gil Gaona at ggaona@hcde-texas.org, the contact for the Board: ‘Regarding Agenda Item 3, the public deserves to know what legislative priorities are being developed with our tax dollars. Will the committee’s recommendations be made public before the full board votes on a legislative agenda?’
