Thank you for your enthusiasm and for letting us know what is happening in the chaotic world of Texas politics.
Even those of us who voted true blue have priorities when the new laws are presented. For instance the abortion issue! In order to actually save lives abortion bans need to stop and the concentration should be on maternal health! Texas’ numbers are appalling!
100% agree. Several bills were filed today along those lines, and we can expect more in the coming months. The biggest obstacle right now is the Republicans in the Senate.
Senate Republicans should occasionally be reminded that there will be another election “soon”. Even in Texas obstructionists can be replaced. The people have made it clear that change is necessary!
This is when you shine! Waiting for all voting bills to be filed! Just got back from Johnson County, so proud of them raising margins and flipping several precincts blue. That means Democratic elections judges. Also we talked a lot about testified at commissioners court! Demand change! It happened in Tarrant, it can happen in Johnson.
Just the other day I was thinking (hoping) that Brian Harrison wasn’t any longer a Representative! Thanks for the update. (Sarcasm) He is still around. 🤦🏽♀️
I like your idea of how that money could be used instead. Keeping track of all these bills is hard. Here is hoping and praying that lots of good ones pass! Keep us updated! Thank you in advance for all your hard work, I do appreciate you!
And, we can use the power limiting bills as leverage to get a constitutional amendment for banning gerrymandering and at a minimum requiring runoff for less than 50% of a votes, or (which I prefer) rank choice voting.
Environmental bills should have provisions to compensate and retrain due to job loss. When technology started replacing workers in manufacturing plants, there were zero plans put in place to transition millions of workers. I completely understand if you are a roughneck working on a pipeline and worried you'll never have a job. We can plan for that.
Did you see, by chance, any laws banning bans on class action suits in leases? My daughter's apartment building refuses to repair certain things, such as the parking garage gate. As a result, several people have had their cars broken into. One had all four wheels (not just the tires) stolen. They can't find lawyers to take individual cases, and the lease bans class action lawsuits.

Someone is actively devoting efforts to oust him next time already.
I’m happy to read about this. Thanks!

Good idea, I agree with this.
Sounds like Flood the Zone. 😁

Holy. No, not that I can remember. Sounds like something they would do, you should take it to the new House, maybe they can fix the law.
