Updated: Hancock and Schwertner trade barbs over Texas Senate leadership accusations of favoritism at Broadband Development Office

“I do not believe Texans should act as a financial safety net for a multibillion-dollar corporation's liabilities,” Hancock said, speaking of Amazon. “Our decision to reject these unwarranted demands was ‘favoritism’ toward one group only – the citizens of Texas.”

Our office staunchly and without reservation prioritizes protecting taxpayer money over corporate bottom lines."
