🚨New @TPPF @LitigateLiberty lawsuit against @austintexasgov challenging its Transportation User “Fee” (TUF) as an illegal & unconstitutional tax. As is the case here, too often cities are bypassing #txlege limits on raising taxes by calling new taxes “fees.” Austin’s TUF unlawfully collects over $126,000,000 annually from #atx residents & utility payers

I am shocked and horrified by the senseless and cowardly act of violence against Charlie Kirk. It has no place in our society and should be condemned by all Americans. Please pray for Charlie and his family.

The teachers unions and school administrators that complain the loudest against the STAAR test are the ones that killed the bill to replace it. They can’t take a YES on anything. It’s almost like their agenda has nothing to do with what’s best for students.

It has come to my attention that lobbyists are misleading offices by claiming that materials produced by Texas Policy Research (@TXPolResearch) are associated with @TPPF. That is false. We create and distribute our own research which you can find here: texaspolicy.com

Great to meet with Lt. Governor @DanPatrick and Speaker @Burrows4TX yesterday morning at the Governor's Mansion. We discussed the impact Education Savings Accounts will have in Texas. School choice will soon be a reality for Texas families.

When taxpayer-funded lobbyists tell you we need them, we don’t. Proud to join my City of Alvin council colleagues at the Capitol, advocating for our home the right way, without wasting tax dollars on hired guns. Taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to fund lobbyists who work against their interests. Thanks @mayes_middleton for fighting this head on.

Highlighted the FACTS on school choice at @TPPF’s annual Texas Policy Summit today in Austin. Texas must rank #1 in educating our kids. School choice is the path to achieving that goal. We’ll take the actions needed to put Texas on a pathway to having the best education.

One State. Show me one State where control of homeschooling increased as a result of ESA’s. New York you say? Yes, it’s the worst State to homeschool but they don’t have ESA’s.
Brian Phillips@RealBPhil

Texas Home School Coalition: "@THSC conducted a 50-state bonafide research project to assess the impact of [school choice] programs on homeschool regulation. Our findings? Not a single state has ever experienced an increase in homeschooling regulations as a result of these programs. In several states, regulation actually decreased."
