That's because they don't care about the rules. They care about keeping college students unarmed so there can be more muggings, rapes and other violence on campus. I don't know why they like innocent victims to suffer, but their votes are proof they do.


Hey. Hey.

Ho. Ho.

Straus and Friends have got to go!

Cut funding for the administrators who spread the lies about HB750 and SB354. That should be a priority for any higher education bills that are still in play.

More and more it looks like they shouldn't have taken campus safety out of SB5 until SB1581 passed both houses and went to Perry.

Thanks but I was wondering if they could do it in general not if they would do it to this bill.

What is a 'formal meeting' ?

The committee met this morning and it was voted favorably. Now to Calendars.

Do they have to schedule it or can Calendars kill Senate Bills like they did with House Bill 750?

As Speaker, it is my duty to preside over the other 149 members of the Texas House of Representatives so I rarely vote and do not personally carry legislation; however, I will keep your comments in mind should SB 1581 come before the full House.

Does that mean he maintains neutrality (except for tie-breaker votes) and doesn't express his opinion to the committee chairs he appointed? Even in private?

Has what has passed in the Senate have a realistic chance to pass in the House?

If it does pass in the House, are there convolutions still that can sink it?

Also, how does parking lots stand? Is that a done deal? Stupid me could use a summary.

SB1581 absolutely has a chance in the House. SB5 just passed today and it's already in the House, so it's going to get interesting.

Chas.

Did SB5 pass with Wentworth's amendment or did they strip it out? A week ago, she removed SB5 from consideration because Wentworth's amendment (to make campuses safer for professors and students) passed. Now it passed but the engrossed version on the Texas Legislature Online looks like they removed the best parts of SB5. http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/tlodocs/ ... 00005E.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
