NELDA ASKS WASHINGTON TO STOP PRIVATIZATION SCHEME
Nelda has asked Texas senators Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn to back a measure approved by the U.S. House last week that will end a program that steers public resources to private debt collectors so that they can pursue minor amounts owed by individual citizens and small businesses. The bill is expected to hit the U.S. Senate soon.
“This is a bad idea that wastes tax dollars and exposes citizens to harassment by private debt collectors,” Nelda wrote.
Having compiled the best tax collection rate of any county office in Texas, Nelda noted that the IRS is one of the biggest and best-funded bureaucracies on earth.
“If they need some advice about how to do a better job, we’d be happy to help,” she wrote. “But privatization isn’t the solution.”
