Texas Democratic Party: "House Republicans Slam the School Doors Shut
Auto-Craddick Rule in GOP House Forbids Efforts to Improve Texas Schools
(Austin , TX ) - Today, House Speaker Tom Craddick and House Republicans passed sham 'procedural' rules designed to prevent House Members from using any of the state's surplus or new Perry tax revenue to improve our children's schools. The rule essentially denies lawmakers the opportunity to offer amendments, or proposals of any type, that would use these funds for Texas schools.
'Tom Craddick and his Republican foot soldiers are working against Texas children,' said Texas Democratic Party Communications Director Amber Moon . 'By voting for the rule that slams the school doors shut and denies even the discussion of much-needed school funding, Republicans have shown they care more about election year politics than providing our children textbooks.'"
