Its always a victory for Texans when the Republicans in the Legislature fail to pass their racist and oppressive agenda. Tomorrow will end Greg Abbotts third-called special session, and the majority of his special session items failed to pass because Dan Patrick and Dade Phelan hate each other so much that they only want their version of bills signed.
Initially, for the third special session, Abbott asked the legislature to pass:
Education freedom (vouchers)
Border Security
Money for more wall
Show Me Your Papers bill
10-year minimum mandatory for having an undocumented person in your car
Public Safety (legislation to do with Colony Ridge)
Ending Covid restrictions (anti-free market)
Last week, Abbott added teacher pay raises to the agenda to incentivize the legislature to pass vouchers.

(155,550 posts)Two of these polls were push type polls where they try to sell vouchers. Greg really wants vouchers and I am glad that the House blocked vouchers
Both of my older two children went to private school (St. John's School in Houston) and I was happy to pay the tuition. It is wrong to use vouchers to kill and defund public schools.

10-year minimum mandatory for having an undocumented person in your car,
even if that person is a relative, a neighbor, or a friend.
The cruelty and inhumanity is heartbreaking.
