Panel: Ax Texas Railroad Commission

摘要

A 120-year-old fixture in the Lone Star State, the Texas Railroad Commission may not see many more sunrises if a state-sanctioned advisory board has its way. The Sunset Advisory Commission, a 12-member panel created by the state legislature in 1977, reviews the policies and programs of more than 150 government agencies every 12 years. And in the case of the Railroad Commission, its 19th century design "no longer aligns with the agency's current-day mission."
