Gov. Greg Abbott needs a delicate coalition of Republicans to pass his top priority. But the House and Senate leaders aren’t getting along.
It would need to include compromise between the more conservative Senate and a faction of rural House members that have long joined with Democrats to block the idea.were at each other’s throats, hardly a signal of a productive lawmaking environment. And Phelan indicated his desire that any voucher program be paired with more public school funding, which could prove to be another complicating factor in the negotiations.
“I didn’t take $3 million from a PAC that associates itself with Nazis and Nazi sympathizers. That’s not my problem,” Phelan said. “My House members… don’t take money from this PAC. We don’t associate ourselves with sexual deviants, misfits, and people who associate themselves with Holocaust deniers.”
Vouchers have “nothing to do with today,” Creighton said. “Our public school funding initiatives are in and of themselves a lift for our public schools and our public school teachers.” “My members are great people. They’re here for the right reasons,” Phelan said. “We will be immune to the outside noise, as we always are.”The Democratic caucuses in both chambers held news conferences Monday vowing to fight voucher proposals, even if it comes at the expense of teacher pay raises and additional public school funding.
