Comptroller of Public Accounts

Cutting costs is no substitute for creating revenue. The Comptroller’s office should work to increase revenue with regular agency audits to understand/fix lost revenues; support real school finance reform; close loopholes in commercial valuations; increase small business growth and expansion; update outdated consumption taxes; fully implement Internet taxes after the SCOTUS Wayfair decision; sunset old sector abatements; reduce Texas’ $50B debt to free Texas finances up to serve its citizens.
