The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: Where do we get our money back (salary, per diem, and staff and office costs) for a Texas House of Representatives that doesn’t want to work early OR late in the 140 legislative session?
Texas House leaders told everyone to prepare to work Saturday but then, Friday night, decided to close up shop until Monday which automatically killed key bills included restoring to a felony the penalty for illegal voting; stronger penalties for gun-related crimes; banning Leftist and bigoted CRT from state universities, and; other key legislation.
Much other coverage from the last week of the 88th Regular Session of the Texas Legislature:
- School Choice Finds New Life in Teacher Pay Bill After Abbott Threatened Veto of Watered-Down Proposal. Sen. Creighton one-ups RINO Rep. Ken King and puts the school choice issue the House leadership killed by adjourning Friday night onto the House RINOs’ big teacher pay boost bill!
Replacement plan for the former Chapter 313 corporate giveaway program gets yet another makeover – demonstrating the best policy is just to abandon these much abused crony programs.- Texas House Passes Ban on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Offices in Public Higher Education. This is a sham of a ban on DEI and it even requires us to keep the people running this Communist stuff on staff. Who with a brain thinks getting rid of an “office” means they get rid of the programs, ideologies, and tenets of DEI? (Oh wait, that’s unfair to put a “brain” test on some legislators!)
- Sen. Creighton finds a way to save the ban on public schools indoctrinating your children with pro-transgender and other sexual immorality. The Dallas Morning News headline on this demonstrates the paper’s Leftist propaganda style reporting.
- Many have worked on this for at least a dozen years and finally it has passed but, will Governor Abbott sign it? Vehicle Safety Inspections Could Become a Thing of the Past in Texas.
