Texas Budget

  In 2019, Texas legislators approved a $251 billion biennial budget to fund our state government for the next two years. Amazingly, Greg Abbott did not issue a single line-item veto - the first governor since Allan Shivers in 1955 to sign a budget without a single change. This year, legislators sent the governor a $248 billion budget, which he signed, but with a line-item veto of the entire legislative branchLinks to an external site..
