#010- "The line has been drawn in the sand"

In this episode, Clint and Tyler sit down with Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar to discuss his history with TMPA, his job duties, and his continued support for law enforcement.

Glenn Hegar is Texas' chief financial officer — the state's treasurer, check writer, tax collector, procurement officer, and revenue estimator – a job that is particularly important as the state continues its strong recovery amidst ongoing global economic and geopolitical instability. His commitment to responsible fiscal management is highlighted recently in his efforts address the issues such as pension reform and managing federal relief dollars. He conducted a broadband development listening tour in the spring. And his Texas Broadband Plan released in June supports his efforts to bridge the digital divide in Texas and highlights his support for infrastructure investment. Along those lines he will soon embark on his latest Good for Texas Tour focused on ensuring we continue to address water management issues facing our growing state.

As the CFO of the world's 9th largest economy, Hegar is charged with maintaining the state's fiscal health. Having served in both the Texas House and Senate, Hegar has gained a reputation for customer service, transparency in government, and conservative fiscal management.

Hegar is a 1993 graduate of Texas A&M University and a graduate of St. Mary's University, where he earned a Master of Arts and his law degree. At the University of Arkansas, he earned his Masters of Law.
Hegar is a sixth-generation Texan who grew up farming land that has been in his family since the mid-1800s. When not in Austin or traveling the state, Glenn lives in Katy with his wife Dara and his now TEENAGE children Claire, Julia and Jonah (He asks for your prayers as his oldest is now driving).
