While it is understandable that counties want to recover the cost of administration and enforcement of licensing, the solution is not to allow counties unrestricted power over how much to charge. HB 2007 violates the principle of limited government, therefore we oppose this legislation.
NOTE: Due to a successful floor amendment making the bill exclusive to Webb County, our position has changed from oppose to neutral. (11:24 a.m. 4/23/15)
