  • The Unlikely Demise of Texas' Biggest Corporate Tax Break
    The Unlikely Demise of Texas’ Biggest Corporate Tax Break After 20 years, the state’s most lucrative corporate welfare program comes to an end. Justin Miller Jun 9, 2021, 6:00 am CST In 2001, state lawmakers and business leaders warned that the state’s high property tax rates were discouraging corporations from locating big projects in Texas. At the time, Site Selection magazine—a trade publication about economic development—showed Texas’ national ranking on new manufacturing plants had plummeted to 37th in the nation, and without a state income tax, the Lone Star State had no choice but to lean on sales and local property tax revenue to fund basic services like public education. In order to attract large manufacturing projects, lawmakers proposed allowing school districts to offer generous property tax abatement deals—with the state picking up the tab—as a way to lure companies to Texas. Proponents promised that good-paying jobs and long-term investment that came with those projects would more than make up for the cost of the tax breaks. The bill, dubbed the Texas Economic Development Act, passed quickly, championed by then-state Representative Kim Brimer, a Fort Worth Republican, and backed by powerful business groups. Colloquially known as Chapter 313 due to its place in the state’s tax code, the program is immensely popular for both industry and school districts. For the last two decades, it’s been the state’s largest corporate welfare program. But data reveals that 313 projects routinely lose more value than originally estimated when they return to the tax rolls, at a total cost of nearly $10 billion to Texas since the program’s beginning, raising questions about whether the projects ever actually pay off.

  • The November Ballot: Contested State Races
    The November Ballot: Contested State Races This post-primary look at the contested ballots includes Republicans, Democrats, and Libertarians (who will choose their candidates at their state convention). Races without two major-party candidates aren't listed here (look in our Files section at TexasWeekly.com). Incumbents names are in bold. Here's how the Texas Weekly Index (TWI) works: It's the average difference between statewide Republicans and statewide Democrats in contested elections in 2004 and 2006, by district. If it's red (or a negative number) Republicans did better in that district; if it's blue (or a positive number), Democrats did better. It's not meant to predict results, but to give you a quick look at recent political history in each district.

MAXWELL, in his § TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS capacity as Chairman of the § Democratic Party of Tarrant County, § BOYD RICHIE, in his capacity as § Chairman of the Texas Democratic § Party, and WENDY DAVIS § 236th JUDICIAL DISTRICT WENDY DAVIS’ ANSWER TO PLAINTIFF’S ORIGINAL PETITION TO THE HONORABLE TOM LOWE, JUDGE: Wendy Davis, Defendant, (“Davis”) files her answer to Plaintiff’s original petition in the above-captioned cause and would show the Court as follows: I. GENERAL DENIAL Davis denies generally every allegation contained in Plaintiff’s Original Petition and demands strict proof thereof by a preponderance of the credible evidence in as expeditious a fashion as allowed by law. Davis prays that Mr. Brimer’s suit be dismissed promptly in the interests of substantial justice and the rights of the voters of Texas Senate District 10. 1 | P a g e II. SPECIAL DENIAL Davis denies that Mr. Brimer is entitled to relief under any set of facts that he can truthfully allege. Davis lawfully resigned her city council seat well prior to becoming a candidate for State Senate District 10. Moreover, Davis’ successor on the city council was elected and qualified before she filed her application for the ballot on January 2nd of this year. Finally, Mr. Brimer himself admits that Davis’ tenure on the city council ended no later than January 8th of this year, well before her election to the Senate would occur. Under any and all of these circumstances, Davis is an eligible candidate for the Texas Senate.

    SUNSET ADVISORY COMMISSION Summary of Sunset Recommendations 80th Legislature March 2007 Sunset Advisory Commission Senator Kim Brimer, Chair Representative Vicki Truitt, Vice Chair Senator Robert F. Deuell, M.D. Representative Byron Cook Senator Craig Estes Representative Dan Flynn Senator Eliot Shapleigh Representative Lois Kolkhorst Senator John Whitmire Representative Ruth Jones McClendon Howard Wolf, Public Member Ike Sugg, Public Member Joey Longley Director In 1977, the Texas Legislature created the Sunset Advisory Commission to identify and eliminate waste, duplication, and ineffi ciency in government agencies. The 12-member Commission is a legislative body that reviews the policies and programs of more than 150 government agencies every 12 years. The Commission questions the need for each agency, looks for potential duplication of other public services or programs, and considers new and innovative changes to improve each agency’s operations and activities. The Commission seeks public input through hearings on every agency under Sunset review and recommends actions on each agency to the full Legislature. In most cases, agencies under Sunset review are automatically abolished unless legislation is enacted to continue them.

  • The Story of Ercot the Grid Operator, Power Market & Prices Under Texas Electric Deregulation
    THE GRID OPERATOR, POWER MARKET & PRICES UNDER TEXAS ELECTRIC DEREGULATION THE STORY OF ERCOT THE GRID OPERATOR, POWER MARKET & PRICES UNDER TEXAS ELECTRIC DEREGULATION FEBRUARY 2011 A SPECIAL RESEARCH PROJECT BY THE STEERING COMMITTEE OF CITIES SERVED BY ONCOR & THE TEXAS COALITION FOR AFFORDABLE POWER THE StORY OF ERCOT AMARILLO LUBBOCK PLANO FORT WORTH DALLAS ABILENE MIDLAND/ODESSA WACO ALPINE AUSTIN HOUSTON SAN ANTONIO CORPUS CHRISTI LAREDO THE ERCOT REGION THE GRID OPERATOR, POWER MARKET & PRICES UNDER TEXAS ELECTRIC DEREGULATION THE STORY OF ERCOT ABOUT THIS The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, also known as ERCOT, REPORT is the non-profit corporation that oversees the Texas power grid. The organization also has responsibility for settling transactions in the state’s wholesale spot market for electricity. But the term “ERCOT” also is used loosely in other ways. For instance, the term can describe the geographical footprint for retail electric deregulation in Texas. It is also sometimes used to describe the state’s wholesale energy market. This report touches upon policy questions relating to all these conceptualizations of ERCOT: as an organization, as an energy market, and as the area of Texas with competitive electric suppliers. To distinguish between these meanings, the term “ERCOT” will be used whenever practicable to refer to the organization, “the ERCOT region” will be used to refer to deregulated areas of the state, and “ERCOT market” will be used to describe the wholesale energy market within the ERCOT region. The reader should note that the Texas Public Utility Commission typically has responsibil- ity for setting the highest level ERCOT market policies, while the ERCOT organization oversees grid operations.
