A change in leadership is coming to the Comptroller's office, with Governor Greg Abbott announcing a new appointment. Former State Senator Don Huffines will take on the role, replacing acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock.

The transition is set to occur at the end of July, as Hancock is scheduled to vacate the position. This development comes as the state is in the midst of a general election race and preparing for the rollout of school vouchers.

Further details on this announcement can be found through CBS Austin.
