Today's episode of TEXAS POLITICS TODAY will cover the most important state agency you've never heard of -- the Sunset Advisory Commission.  Every two years, the Sunset Commission's staff and members examine an array of state agencies, boards and commissions to decide how well they're doing their job and if they should be continued.  Their recommendations to the Legislature sometimes have far-reaching consequences.
 
This cycle, the commission is reviewing some of the most important and controversial state agencies, including the Texas Department of Transportation (home of the infamous Trans-Texas Corridor and run-amok toll roads), the Department of Public Safety, the Texas Youth Commission, the Department of Insurance and the Parks and Wildlife Department.
 
Our guest will be Bee Moorhead, the executive director of Texas Impact.  Texas Impact is a faith-based organization that's worked on Sunset issues successfully in the past.  This cycle, they have their sights trained on reforming Texas' private health insurance market.
