Macias Named "Taxpayer Hero" Texans for Fiscal Responsibility Releases Legislative Scorecard Bulverde, TX - Texans for Fiscal Responsibility (TFR), a conservative taxpayer advocacy group, has released its 2007 Legislative scorecard for the Texas House, naming Representative Nathan Macias one of their "Taxpayer Heroes". In determining their list, TFR used an index of 14 key votes that provided a clear picture of spending policy, taxpayer protection efforts, and overall fiscal responsibility trends.  "On the whole, these men and women could be counted on this Session as wise stewards of our resources, seeking to reduce the burden of taxes, looking for smarter ways to spend tax dollars, and working to make the budget process more transparent and accountable," said TFR President, Michael Quinn Sullivan. "Texans need more legislators like these, who are willing to do the right thing for taxpayers and the future of Texas.""I am truly honored to be recognized by Texans for Fiscal Responsibility as one of their 15 'Taxpayer Heroes'," said Representative Macias. "It is an honor to represent District 73 to ensure the taxpayer's money is spent wisely and efficiently. I will continue to pursue additional tax relief in order to keep Texans' money in Texans' pockets." "State representatives, on average, failed to protect Texas taxpayers against new and higher spending, and failed to promote taxpayer protections," continued Sullivan. "The good news is that there are 15 highly-dedicated members of the Texas House working to do the right thing for Texas, earning an ÔAÕ on the scorecard." In a letter to TFR, Ralph and Marcia Wall of New Braunfels added, "We need more legislators like Rep. Macias, willing to fight for lower taxes, stronger taxpayer protections, and a more responsible fiscal policyÉit is our hope he will continue to serve the people of the Lone Star State." The full scorecard, including a detailed description of the votes and methodology, is available at EmpowerTexans.com.
