The Senate majority party tried to illegally ram through a bad piece of legislation that would not serve the needs of the vast majority of Texans and woud hurt many in the process. They failed. Rick Perry wasted no time (less time than it takes to filibuster a bad piece of legislation) to announce another special session set for July 1st to make a second attempt to ram this legislation down our throats. To which Wendy Davis responded, " Misplaced priorities of legislative leaders squandered a tremendous opportunity to make much needed improvements in our transportation infrastructure and help create good jobs and bring businesses to Texas. Despite urging by responsible members of the Senate to bring up the matter of transportation, Lt. Governor David Dewhurst derailed as much as much as $1 billion per year in transportation funding by stubbornly pushing divisive, failed legislation attacking women’s health care options. If leaders are serious about using this second called special session to improve the lives of Texans by repairing and expanding our transportation networks, they will find no greater ally than me. If they intend to keep pushing their extreme personal political agenda ahead of the interests of Texas families, I will not back off of my duty to fight on their behalf.” Wendy Davis for Governor of Texas!
