As I remember hearing on Wednesday, I believe that they would have had to agree on something by yesterday early afternoon in order for anything to make it to a vote in this special session.
I swear...between the cash the Republican fools running my state spent on the redistricting special session and the cash we're probably going to see the same set of clowns increasing for a couple more school finance special sessions, our "fiscally-responsible" state Republican party ought to be whipped.
Two for the whole redistricting fiasco and one for school finance, each of which costs 2 million or so. Seems like there has to be a better way to do this. Put a state income tax initiative on the ballot and let people vote on it.
3. However we do not have the initiative process in Texas
And thank goodness. The initiative process is nothing more than people voting on something that they know nothing about. Basically it allows the rich to fund signature drives to get it on the ballot then run one-sided ad campaigns to get people to vote for it. Nevertheless, I do support a state income tax for education. This is why California always has such wacky propositions on their ballots.
