As Texas lawmakers begin their work in Austin, they are flush with cash, enjoying a whopping $32 Billion surplus. The Texas surplus is more than the entire budget in 29 other states. There’s never a shortage of ideas during the session, but this year they have the money to do more than just dream. Those dollars, though, will lead to friction and fighting as lawmakers try to decide who gets how much. In this episode of Y’all-itics, the Jasons take you to Austin and inside the Capitol to hear from the new leaders of each party’s caucus in the Texas House and how they’d like to spend billions. Beyond the budget, the Jasons are also seeing some political flashpoints emerge that could dominate the session – from whether to ban minors from social media to potentially raising the minimum age to purchase a firearm.
