Texas lawmakers face looming special session over court ordered elections
Austin grapples with a federal judge’s ruling on nonpartisan state district judge elections. Gov. Clements aims to convene lawmakers to rewrite rules as primaries loom and judicial elections dominate the 15 week campaign period. Public school finance also looms large with a $16 billion plan and a projected $45 billion cost to taxpayers. The political clash centers on whether elections should be partisan or appointive, and where policy should be decided.
