The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality or TCEQ is the environmental agency for the state. The TCEQ has approximately 2,900 employees, 16 regional offices, and a $480.7 million operating budget for the 2007 fiscal year. It is purported to be the largest environmental agency in the United States next to the US-EPA. There have been several complaints recently in the newspaper regarding this agency's regulation and enforcement policies. What is your opinion of this huge bureaucracy?

Every time I hear about the TCEQ, I'm reminded about how they bungled the Helotes debacle. It is frightening to think that this agency is in charge of protecting the environment. A thorough house cleaning from the top down is desperately needed. Write your state representative.
Over numerous environmental concerns voiced by local residents, the TCEQ approved the Lerrin Hills MUD. And, refused to let the local residents have a contested hearing on the matter.
This is an agency out of control!
