This will be important in the morning: It looks like Texas House Appropriations will consider this bill to create a special board co-chaired by the Lt. Gov. & Speaker to decide how billions in federal dollars can be spent when the Legislature isn't around capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/87R/bi

It’ll go something like this .... a billion for me, a billion for you and the rest, well we’ll stick it in the general fund in case we need it later as after all, re-election is coming up soon. That’s Texas transparency for you.

That is not only a bad idea, but should be against all rules of governance. Hopefully all elected legislators will object to such a plan.
