A good idea by TXDot, but maybe not the best when it looks like you’re using taxpayer dollars to lobby the keepers of the funds…names the state legislature.
AUSTIN — Two state lawmakers are requesting formal inquiries into whether the Texas Department of Transportation is improperly spending money on advertising.Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, and Rep. Ken Paxton, R-McKinney, question whether an estimated $7 million to $9 million the department is spending on its “Keep Texas Moving” campaign is a proper use of resources. The lawmakers have asked Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and House Speaker Tom Craddick look into the matter.
