About this listen

The 88th Legislative Session ended...and the first Special Session began the next morning! Luis and Marisa chat about developments in the final days of session, including what happened with HB5, how the tax break negotiations between the Senate and the House broke down, and more.

They also explain what a Special Session is, and what Texans can expect in coming days (spoiler alert: it's mostly about tax cuts). For a good explainer on tax compression and the impact of tax cuts on Texas families, check out "Who Doesn't Pay Taxes" by Dick Lavine and "Property Tax Compression: Growing the State Share Without Improving School Funding" by Chandra Villanueva.
