Gov. Abbott releases special agenda: Democrats not satisfied

By Sahar Chmais

One day prior to a special session called by Gov. Greg Abbott, the governor’s office released the agenda items. Democrats are not satisfied with the direction of the agenda.

“Instead of real issues that impact the lives of everyday Texans, Governor Abbott is once again prioritizing divisive culture wars,” said State Representative Erin Zwiener. “I want to spend the next 30 days expanding healthcare coverage, updating our state’s aging infrastructure — including the grid, and jumpstarting our economy in the wake of COVID. Instead I will be fighting attacks on the freedom to vote, transgender children, educator’s freedom to teach, and reproductive health care.”
