Gubernatorial candidate Attorney General Greg Abbott has come out against tax-funded lobbying in the case of school districts, their boards, or their associations. This is an excellent step in the right direction. Tax-funded lobbying is a moral hazard in which government uses tax money to lobby government for more government, and it should be completely illegal. Some of the worst offenders are municipalities and counties. School boards are a good start, but the entire practice needs to go the way of the dodo bird very soon.
