On April 11, the Texas House of Representatives passed SB-1, the largest budget in Texas history, clocking in at a jaw-dropping $337 billion. Co-signers of the budget will try to dazzle you with numbers on population growth, inflation, and budget surpluses. But here’s what they won’t tell you: it includes $45 billion in new spending and a sad $6.5 billion for property tax relief—a slap in the face to taxpayers.
Only 19 Republican lawmakers had the backbone to vote against this monstrosity: Briscoe Cain, Brian Harrison, Richard Hayes, Janis Holt, Andy Hopper, Helen Kerwin, Mitch Little, David Lowe, J.M. Lozano, Shelley Luther, Brent Money, Matt Morgan, Mike Olcott, Keresa Richardson, Nate Schatzline, Alan Schoolcraft, Tony Tinderholt, Steve Toth, and Wes Virdel.
