Mark Goloby
BIZPAC Education and Curriculum Chairman
President/Founder TC Technologies
Mark is BIZPAC’s leading expert on Chapter 313 and the corruption behind the school boards’ incentive to sell this bill to the public as an economic incentive program. Mark and BIZPAC worked to inform the public as well as legislators at the Texas capitol that this 22-year-old program caused a massive tax burden on homeowners and small businesses. Mark is also working to remove harmful curriculum that indoctrinates grade schoolers and causes division among younger generations. Education is crucial to BIZPAC’s legislative agenda through our initiatives fueling economic growth and development. With that in mind, we value the importance of public educators teaching inclusive and accurate curriculum to our children and the future of our country.
