--Jim Cardle President & CEO Texas Citizen Action Network
“When you count the money Texas consumers are forced to pay into that CETC category against the amount we get back the problem is glaring. Last year the USF squeezed over $35 million out of Texas taxpayers in the CETC category yet the funds we received back came to a paltry $2.7 million. That’s a one-year loss of over $32 million if you’re keeping score.”
