SB 1648 by Parker: Anti-Taxpayer

SB 1648 is the enabling legislation for SJR 74. SB 1648 seeks to create the centennial parks conservation fund and provide for a dedicated funding source for both the ability to buy and maintain state parks. Texas already has enough public land, and we certainly should not be in the business of buying up even more. Instead, tax dollars should be given back to taxpayers, so they in turn can buy more land. For these reasons, TFR opposes SB 1648.
