Flynn Named Taxpayer Hero
(TFR)
AUSTIN, Texas – Texans for Fiscal
Responsibility today released its scorecard of the Texas House. The TFR
analysis of votes demonstrates that while far too many lawmakers failed
to work in the interest of Texas taxpayers, State Rep. Dan Flynn
demonstrated a strong commitment to commonsense protections and
responsible spending.
State representatives, on average, failed to promote sound fiscal
stewardship of taxpayer resources. The average score in the House was a
53 – a failing grade by any measure, according to TFR president Michael
Quinn Sullivan. House Republicans earned, on average, a ‘C’ score of 75;
House Democrats earned a failing 32.
In contrast, State Rep. Flynn earned a 93.3. He was one of only 15
lawmakers to be designated a “Texas Taxpayer Hero” by Texans for Fiscal
Responsibility.
“On the whole, Rep. Flynn could be counted on this Session as a wise
steward of our resources, seeking to reduce the burden of taxes, looking
for smarter ways to spend tax dollars, and working to make the budget
process more transparent and accountable,” said Sullivan. “Texans need
more legislators like Dan Flynn, willing to do the right thing for
taxpayers and the future of Texas.”
