It is not on the agenda for the special session so it cannot be considered unless the Governor expands the agenda.

The Governor won't expand the session, he is a UT graduate and would veto the bill even if they could, and the ink could be dry on the agreement before the law would take affect.

This is being done so they can tell their constituents that they tried. This would also give Privates like TCU, SMU, etc. an incredible advantage since they are not State affiliated.  This would require North Texas to get legislative approval to leave a conference and we would have to wait until the regular session which occurs every two years and lasts about 5 and 1/2 months.

Why don’t they deal with real issues like keeping Texas asses from freezing this Winter?

Wasn’t expecting one last Winter. What a surprise.  Surprised there were not as many  fatalities, though.

Your governor went to the University of Texas at Austin and then to Vanderbilt University for his law degree. Your lieutenant governor is a graduate of the University of Maryland Baltimore County, which isn’t a combatant in the current skirmish. Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan went to UT-Austin. Greg Bonnen, who chairs the powerful House Appropriations Committee, went to Texas A&M and got his medical degree at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. His Senate counterpart, Finance Committee Chair Jane Nelson, graduated from the University of North Texas, another noncombatant.
