SB 19 - Banning Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

Senate Bill 19 prohibits the practice of taxpayer-funded lobbying, in which local governments use taxpayer money to hire lobbyists to lobby the State Legislature in Austin. This is an unethical and immoral practice that wastes millions of taxpayer dollars every year, and violates the principles of a republican form of government. For these reasons, TFR supports SB 19.
