After 140 days (no where near enough time to consider the important and unresolved legislation that died via political machinations, no matter what the House Speaker may say - more on this in my next blog), many meetings, negotiations and a great deal of energy expended (including much ceremonial Hoo Hah), the 81st Texas Legislature has finished - except for the as yet unscheduled "Special Session" to complete the sunset reviews for TxDOT, TDI and other agencies, the agency renewal bills not making it to the floor for a vote because of the Republican insistence to force the undemocratic Voter I.D. bill.
Following are the bills I witnessed for and against which cover many of the issues Greens represent.
As a guide to my notes following, the result for each bill is below the bill number in BOLD. I also put in BOLD the bill numbers of the legislation that made it all the way to the Governors signature.
Bills ended their tenure at several steps in the legislative process: 1) referred to a committee, 2) left pending in committee, 3) considered in calendars (there are three different calendar committees, 4) some step in the printing/reporting process before or after calendars, 5) referred to one house or the other, and 6) sent to the Governor for signing, and 7) signed by the Governor. Please refer to the Texas Legislature on-line "How a bill becomes law" to answer your questions in the step-wise process http://www.tlc.state.tx.us/gtli/legproc/process.html
Or you can look up a bill on the website http://www.legis.state.tx.us/ and click on "bill stages" to see how far along the bill moved.
My next blog will be a review of my experiences and observations of/at the legislature and my impressions of high and low points.
Stay tuned!

Against HB 604 by Farabee - Relating to projects that may be undertaken by certain development corporations in connection with water conservation programs.
In my opinion a slippery slope has been created/promoted benefiting development corporations which have undue access to public funding, via so-called 'public-private partnerships', and are focused/function purely on a profit motive. Water must be a public right and not a "resource" that can be manipulated by for-profit 'development' corporations, and therefore needs to be overseen by a public entity.

Against HB 1892 Berman -Relating to nominations by primary election by all political parties.
I witnessed against this bill - This was the bill that the libertarians had identified as a possible way in which to financially cripple New Parties by forcing them to hold a primary election (I have chosen to take up the monicker of referring to so-called 3rd parties as new, in order to connote alternative instead of 3rd place or "3rd world").

Bill threatens to fast-track water permits for nuclear plants, which use vast quantities of water. Water is precious, and Governor Perry has just requested federal aid for all 254 counties in Texas due to a statewide drought. Water permits should be given careful scrutiny, and not be rushed. The bill would actually deny citizens the right to a contested case hearing for these water permits!
