2017 Texas Legislative Session Discussion Thread

Nothing wrong with sending an email or phone call over to Sen.Huffines way.

I sent him one during the last session and asked for a response and never received one. Hope he loses the next primary - I miss Carona.

Unfortunately, my state senator is Don Huffines.

And here's a good overview of where we are from the Chronicle: Tesla vs. Texas dealerships explained: Are more luxury electric cars headed our way?

Finally, I thought you all might get a kick out of Senator Huffines' latest Facebook post:

What a great town hall meeting last night! Many thanks to the residents of Lake Highlands, Garland, and all across SD 16 who attended and discussed 635E expansion & improvement, and repealing the passenger vehicle inspection tax. Remember: I work for you!

The last bill died in committee. Is there some way to find out which committee will handle the bill this time and give the members special attention?

It's up to the House speaker and the Lite Gov which committees get it. They will probably assign it to the committees which are most likely to prevent it from reaching the floor for a vote. That way it protects the senators and representatives from having to go on record as voting against the public interest.
