Lt. Gov. Patrick speaks to revenue estimate

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick issued this statement today following Comptroller Glenn Hegar’s Biennial Revenue Estimate: “Since I became Lt. Governor in 2015, I have gone to great lengths to be a conservative steward of taxpayer dollars. Comptroller Hegar’s estimate today is further proof of the Texas economy’s resilience despite President Biden’s economic malfeasance, and it is proof that our conservative policies work.
