| Regular Leg session over; special session on the wayJust got back from the Aloha picnic celebrating our long days, evenings, and weekends of calculating fiscal impact for 5 to 13 years for over 800 House and Senate bills, few of which became law. The TEA School Finance managers pitched in, and in true Texas style, the only roasted pig may have been in the Elgin jalapeño sausage (not Kosher). We'll get tapped on some of the juicier bills like House Bill 3646. Most of my websites are refreshed, so I'm precoding for 2009-10 while I await federal narratives to post. Really looking forward to hanging out with my girls  and my nephews  in Pigeon Forge; hopefully this special session is short and sweet. ~Fids | | |
| Countdown to sine dieThe 81st Texas Legislature is almost over. To override the governor's rejection of $555M in unemployment benefits, a special 3 day session will probably be called to override all vetoes. We at TEA FAFA continue to write fiscal impact notes on all education related bills that may become law and cost money to tax payers and the State. The amount of Thursday night postings that need immediate attention continues to mount as the clerk for the Reps is very last minute in divulging where we focus our efforts. 28 days and counting. ~ Fids  | | |
