If at first you don’t succeed, remove the 2/3rds rule so you can get some of your bills passed. If you still don’t succeed, defund the Legislative Budget Board. You know...those employees that tell the truth about the state's budget. #txlege https://t.co/PtQvxTmGTr

The new "HB 3 in 30" video from TEA comes out tomorrow - In case you missed it: check out last week's episode on how HB 3 affects Pre-K: #TXed #Txlege #HB3 #PreK

I've heard multiple stories this week about kiddos stressed about by STAAR tests...imagine if they also new part of their school's funding depended on their performance. Take 30 seconds to tell legislators not to let that happen! #txed

@_ZacharyMiller @TCSAnews You can make fun of me all you want but it doesn’t mean I’m wrong. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@mopenshaw What about the 800 small school districts where the superintendent also teaches, drives the bus, and keeps the rest of the district running. When is he/she supposed to track 1000+ #txed bills? That’s why they are members of associations!

[Texas Big Ed @TexasBigEd]

@willlutz @JamesQuinteroTX @TPPF Not really... We’re all for tax compression as long as the particular method doesn’t create huge tax rate disparities across the state. We’ve known all along that this session would be about tax relief AND new $ for #txed. #txlege

[Texas Big Ed @TexasBigEd]

Add school districts to this sign, please. HB 281 is the legislature's latest attempt to silence local government. Here are the legislators who support the bill: https://t.co/5mt0mmPS4q #txed #txlege

Democrats controlled the Texas Senate for about a century and honored a 2/3rds rule (higher threshold) for decades. Doesn't seem to be partisan, just the current leadership floundering under @DanPatrick #TxLege

[Texas Big Ed @TexasBigEd]

@KHancock4TX @scottbraddock @SenBryanHughes @DanPatrick @RatliffT @dallasnews So we’re supposed to be grateful for his previous service as a locally elected official but ignore the fact that he’s now trying to throw local governments under the bus? This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Senators forget where they came from. #txlege #txed

[Texas Big Ed @TexasBigEd]

Just curious... If @SenBryanHughes helps @DanPatrick pass the dreaded blocker bill (aka: the nuclear option), will @RatliffT finally run against Hughes? 👊🏻 @dallasnews #txed #txlege

[Dallas Morning News @dallasnews]

.@DanPatrick will force a vote on the property tax bill Monday. The lone GOP holdout just called that plan 'desperate' https://t.co/rFr3nQwHRn

@RatliffT @SenBryanHughes @DanPatrick @dallasnews Well, tell those nice folks in Mt Pleasant that the #Txlege and #txed need you!
