Once again, a tumultuous Texas legislative session has shuddered to a close. And, once again, Gov. Greg Abbott has resuscitated it in a bid to see his priorities get to the finish line.
School vouchers — the priority on which Abbott spent the most political capital this session — were notably absent from that list. However, the governor also stated that he expects to require multiple special sessions to address"critical items" that didn't make it to the finish line. "Texans want and need a path towards eliminating property taxes," Abbott said in his statement."The best way to do that is to direct property tax reduction dollars to cut school property tax rates.”
