Schools shutting down and Republicans are upset their ISDs aren't getting the funding that was promised. Flashback: This was the day Speaker Burrows endorsed Little Gov Patrick's school finance plan when no Texas House member had seen it #TxLege
Speaker @Burrows4TX on Senate's substitute to HB 2: "I'm very excited about it." I asked a follow up about cutting the basic allotment increase from $395 to $55. "Looking at just one number and not what the entire bill does, I don't think is what we need to be doing." #txlege

Yet another penetrating analysis from our close friend @RogersForTexas about the opportunity we have this election year to turn our state leaders back to their God-sworn duty to fund our children’s “public free schools.” @dallasnews @GregAbbott_TX @gina__hinojosa #txed #txlege

An audit of Arizona voucher funds for home-schools demonstrated that 20% of the purchases by parents were unallowable, spent on consumer items that had nothing to do with education, unless you consider condoms “educational.” azcentral.com/story/news/loc…

Today I sent this letter to Attorney General Paxton regarding his office’s troubling handling of the Adam Hoffman child sexual abuse case in Waco. To me and to many Texans — and certainly to child sexual abuse and assault victims and their families — the plea deal General Paxton agreed to (serious felony crimes reduced to misdemeanor charges, only 30 days in county jail, no mandatory registration as a sex offender and no permanent loss of Hoffman’s law license) is incomprehensible. As the state’s top law enforcement officer, General Paxton owes all Texans an answer. #txlege
