We thought maybe the comptroller had new dirt on Harris County. Nope.
Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar discusses the state's water capacity on Monday, Oct. 3, 2022, at the Lower Neches Valley Authority in Beaumont.People do and say things in the fog of campaign season that they might not otherwise. Think Howard Dean's scream. Rick Perry's 'oops.' Glenn Hegar's math.
By November, the Democrats had held onto the court but lost the budget battle, forced to accept a no-new-revenue tax rate. Still, it seemed things had resolved. And even Hegar's office, when challenged in court, seemed to back off the claim that Harris County had violated the law. from the would-be 12-month version of the short fiscal year budget. By the county’s math, the budget stayed flat. The difference is in how they got to the annual figure for the shorter fiscal year. Hegar found a monthly amount and then multiplied it by 12, according to a statement from the county. The county went by pay periods.
And it is paranoia. Law enforcement funding has consistently inched upward in Harris County and public safety budgets would've been even higher had the Democrat-led commissioners court been able to pass its proposed 2023 budget.
