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

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
@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!
@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

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
