Lavers named to state economic oversight board

Bill Lavers, executive director of the Development Corporation of Snyder, was named to the Economic Incentive Oversight Board by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.
The board examines the effectiveness and efficiency of programs and funds administered by the office of the governor, comptroller or Department of Agriculture that award state monetary or tax incentives.
Windi Grimes, an investments executive in Houston, was also named to the board.
“When voters elected us to office they sent us to Austin with a very clear message,” Patrick wrote in a press release. “They expect us to spend every dollar prudently and to make sure any Texas incentives or grants are wisely made.”
