Texas oil and gas regulator launches ‘DOGE' task force
Texas' oil and gas regulator will get the 'DOGE' treatment after Commissioner Wayne Christian said he's forming the Delivering Oil and Gas Efficiently Task Force. Unlike the federal employee purging instituted by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, Christian said in a statement that the state Railroad Commission's effort is not about cutting personnel. Instead, he said, the task force will focus on cutting delays and updating the agency's systems. 'As a lifelong conservative, I believe government works best when it's limited, efficient and accountable,' Christian said in a statement last month. 'The DOGE Task Force is about making sure our agency runs smarter — not bigger — and that we continue to serve the people of Texas with excellence.' Advertisement Christian's office did not respond to a request for comment last week. It's unclear who will serve on the task force.
