Texas is a unique patchwork of cities. It is important our local governments maintain the ability to govern locally.
Together, we aim to emphasize the necessity for local decision making and to ensure the diverse needs of Texas communities can continue to be met by local governments. The diversity of Texas makes our state great, and local decisions should be made by those closest to their communities.
Allow
Allow local governments the flexibility to fund essential services and invest in the infrastructure for their community such as law enforcement and first responders, roads and bridges, clean water, broadband connectivity, and more.
Ensure
Ensure that the local leaders who understand what makes their community unique have opportunities to partner with the state to highlight their existing features to attract new, smart growth.
Preserve
Preserve the ability for local governments to retain the experts needed to achieve the goals of their communities.
