Re: SB 16 - priority bill, reduction of LTC fees

Just received a message the governor has signed this. Chalk one up for the good guys.

My apologies. I misread the tweet. It has been sent to the Governor for his signature. I thought is said it had been sent and signed.

You were already being helped and you will still pay less than the standard amount. :roll:

Re: SB 16 - priority bill, reduction of LTC fees

I saw somewhere they went to recess until 3 because there was a scuffle at the speaker's bench over something on local and consent calendar. Not sure what happened or who was involved.

Can you provide a link to the article? That sounds like a bunch of bull. More fake news.

From the ever unbiased Austin American Statesman -
The bill would cost the state $22 million in lost revenue over the next two years, according to the Legislative Budget Board.

State Rep. Nicole Collier, D-Fort Worth who voted against the bill, said that the money should be spent on more pressing matters like schools or child welfare. She also said that guns are being given special treatment.
Thanks. Once they get their greedy claws on our money they never want to let it go. They always have some way to repurpose our money.
