Ahead of session, Center for Public Policy Priorities looks to broaden reach across policy areas
Former Chairman Keffer: “During the last election, 100 percent of the people who voted decided 50 percent of the people had lost their minds. CPPP is trying to bridge that gap with the facts, with the numbers and figures, that can help policymakers.”
The Center
for Public Policy Priorities on Wednesday rolled out a broad overview
of its upcoming policy agenda, saying Texas has failed to invest in its most
important resource: its growing and diverse population.
For more than a
decade, CPPP has been known at the Texas Capitol for the expertise of
its policy experts: Dick Lavine on
property taxes; Eva DeLuna Castro on
budget issues; Anne Dunkelberg on Medicaid;
and Chandra Villanueva on school
finance.
The recent hiring
of Luis Figueroa as a legislative
and policy director, however, sends the message CPPP is looking to broaden its
reach.
