Texas Comptroller Susan Combs missed most CPRIT oversight meetings
By JAMES DREW
AUSTIN — State Comptroller Susan Combs, as a member of the oversight committee for the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, made two suggestions at an October 2010 meeting.
After a presentation by an agency official whose job was to help companies turn cancer research into profits, Combs said Texas needs to have firms bring money and jobs to the state, according to meeting minutes.
Later, Combs asked CPRIT administrators to keep childhood obesity — a topic she had tackled as state agriculture commissioner — “on the forefront for future funding.”
It was the last meeting of the agency’s governing board that she attended.
