well as the administration and operation of tax increment
reinvestment zones (TIRZ's); and reforming the process
of granting "Certificates of Public Convenience

greater rights to landowners (2005).
Representative Matters. Trey worked on the
creation and ongoing operation of numerous municipal
utility districts (MUD's) and other water districts
