Patrick unimpressed with House on bathrooms and property taxes, but does not threaten special session
Following maneuvers by Team Straus, Patrick said “There is still time for the House and Senate to address these concerns…”
Here
is Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s full
statement:
"I
share Governor Abbott's concern about the lack of a rollback provision in
Senate Bill 669 on property taxes. In terms of privacy, I had not seen the
language on the "Paddie Amendment" on House
Bill 2078 before it was voted on last night. I also have concerns about
its ambiguous language, which doesn't appear to do much. There is still time
for the House and Senate to address these concerns -
which are both priorities for Texas voters - in a meaningful way."
