Keep the Momentum

This past week Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick and Senate Finance Chair Jane Nelson announced the formation of a new subcommittee that will address school finance. This is an important step towards fixing Texas’ outdated and broken school finance system. Thanks to the Lt. Gov and Senator Nelson for their leadership on this. Although I would have liked to have seen a Senator from Central Texas on this subcommittee, this important issue will now receive the proper attention it deserves in the Senate.

As we move further into session, one thing has become clear, from the Governor to the Speaker, everyone is talking about school finance reform. Now is not the time to be timid, now is the moment to boldly seize the opportunity and make education reform and lower property taxes a reality in Texas.
