Texas Governor Neff to open summer special session
Governor Neff told lawmakers the thirty seventh legislature will not be closed until sometime in the summer and urged readiness for return. The message followed the failure to pass the general appropriation bill. The senate approved a land purchase bill near the University of Texas with a 1 5 million appropriation and authorized expansion moves. The session also advanced the minimum wage bill and a free conference is resolving house substitutions. Governor Hobby testified before the penitentiary committee and addressed both branches.
