These ten Texas PACs have already taken in more than $14 million combined, which they will use to support their favored candidates in the 2020 elections.

Last week we reported that lawmakers had lumped this session’s most prominent pieces of legislation — property tax reform, school finance reform, and a sales tax — into one codependent heap. Yesterday, the Senate took steps to remove and kill the sales tax portion of the heap.

Texans were promised that this legislative session would be different. Unlike every legislative session in recent memory, when gridlock and acrimony were the order of the day, Austin politicians promised this time to work together and deliver for Texans. Every session in recent memory was dominated by the power battle between the conservative and liberal wings of the Republican party, represented by Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick on the right and former Speaker of the House Joe Straus on the left.
