The 88th Texas Legislature is upon us. And as state lawmakers return to Austin with plenty of political promises and priorities, Y’all-itics is here to help you understand what they might actually do to make your life better… or worse, depending on your perspective and political bent. To do that, we went straight to the top and had a sit-down conversation with Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick. The Texas Senate’s top Republican can make or break the legislative agenda inside the state Capitol. And he talks at length about his priorities, from saving Texas homeowners money to parental freedom to increasing police pay. The one topic he doesn’t expect to come up during the session? Adding exceptions to Texas’ abortion law.
