The Texas Tribune has added some new faces to our roster who will be digging deep and investigating some of the state’s most urgent and interesting storylines.
Taylor Goldenstein joined us last week as our newest enterprise and investigative reporter. Taylor previously spent seven years at the Houston Chronicle as a state politics reporter, where she demonstrated a passion for holding political officials to account. Over nearly a decade covering Attorney General Ken Paxton, Taylor’s reporting revealed disparities between the taxpayer dollars spent on highly politicized voter fraud and human trafficking units and their actual productivity. She also exposed Paxton’s yearslong failure to enforce late campaign finance fines, as well as the ethical concerns surrounding his office’s oversight of those fines after he himself became delinquent.
