Most Creative Interim Report. Most Serious Recommendations. Economic Development Committee

If you want people to read interim committee reports, make them interesting. That’s exactly what the House Committee on Economic and Small Business Development did. 

The committee handled hot topics, sifted through detailed audits, and successfully managed to entice people to read their report. Kudos.

The report’s big picture: Texas needs economic development incentives.  But, we’ve got to do it right, and do better with accountability and transparency. In the midst of its clever approach, the committee makes serious recommendations, including establishing specific accountability measures for each fund. 

Houston Chronicle covered the report’s popularity.
