Texas is refusing to release basic information about its billion-dollar voucher scam.
The unelected Comptroller wants to double the program’s budget but won’t provide data on how the money is being spent.
If taxpayers are footing the bill, they should know what they're paying for.
NEW: Texas Comptroller @DonHuffines touts open government.
But when it comes to the $1 billion student voucher program he oversees, it's a secret.
His office said it was to prevent me and others from "doxxing ... Texas students."

Elon Musk has given Greg Abbott $500K in campaign cash.
Musk's companies have received $1.6 billion in tax incentives and $30 million in grants funded by Texas taxpayers.
Texans deserve to know what else he's gotten in return.

🚨The mystery transgender mailers sent across Texas just got a whole lot more interesting. And guess who turns up in the connections? Ken Paxton’s billionaire donors.
CBS News identified Three Z Printing in Teutopolis, Illinois, as the company whose bulk-mail permit was used to distribute the deceptive pamphlets.
Three Z is owned by Bill Zerrusen, whose three sons are involved in the business. One son, Matthew Zerrusen, who also founded Newman Ministry, a Catholic organization, lives in a mansion in Flowermound, Texas, and pals around with the late billionaire, Darwin Deason’s son, Doug Deason.
In a 2019 Facebook photo. Matt is traveling to Mar-a-Lago with Doug Deason. Deason is a major Republican donor and financial supporter of Ken Paxton, and his Facebook page is filled with posts attacking James Talarico, many with references to transgender. 💣
These connections deserve a closer look, and I hope investigative journalists are paying attention.

He has taken our schools, hospitals & healthcare away from us.
We can’t eat, drive, or educate our kids.
All he can do is blame it on PTA mom @GinaHinojosaTX
He’s been in power for 25 years.
He’s spent $120 million lying about Gina.
And @GregAbbott_TX is still losing.

Texans deserve answers about why their bills keep going up, why our public schools are struggling, and why billionaires are running this state.
Greg Abbott is hiding from his record and he's hiding from the people of Texas.

Pedofile protector Don Huffines bought the Epstein Ranch, where girls were sexually assaulted and murdered. Now he wants $3 MILLION of your tax dollars to renovate his office before he’s even been elected comptroller. This man cannot be trusted with our finances. Vote @SarahEckhardtTX. She’s a trusted leader with integrity.
NEW: A $3 million renovation is being sought at the @txcomptroller's exec suite
It comes as @DonHuffines campaigns on ending wasteful spending
Docs show the state's Trust Co. would pay for the renos
