This Thursday is Budget Night, a big debate in classic lege fashion set right before the Easter weekend. The Legislature’s only constitutional obligation during session is to pass a balanced budget. Last week, the House Appropriations Committee signed off on sending its 2024-25 plan to the House floor, which spends about $303 billion over two years. Here to talk with Marisa about what to expect this week and what #txlege should be thinking about if it wants to invest in the true priorities of Texans is our Chief of Legislative Affairs Luis Figueroa, Director of Community Engagement and Advocacy Katie Martin Lightfoot, and Senior Fiscal Analyst Shannon Holbrooke.
