Overview

The Policy Analysis Group (PAG) was established in 1997 by the TAC Board of Directors as a leadership program for county officials who recognized the need for county position statements and policy matters to be debated and published in order to promote a clear understanding of county duties and responsibilities. The PAG meets under the direction and leadership of TAC's Legislative Director, Carey Boethel, whose charge to each PAG member is to take a fresh look at Texas county government and identify the ways this level of government can evolve and adapt in response to the changing needs of a growing state.

Mission Statement

PAG exists to study and make recommendations for the implementation of solutions to meet the challenges of the structure, quality and authority of local government(s) by:

1. identifying problems and incubating cost effective and efficient solutions;
2. suggesting changes to the Texas Constitution and existing statutes;
3. being visionary agents of change; and
4. combining all voices of local government(s)
