our state legislature meets the same, every other year. And just about every time it seems they cant get anything done and have to go into a special session to finish up business. This past session they were going to vote on a safe elections bill that the Democrats opposed but didn't have the votes to kill so all the Democrats walked out. Now Abbott is threatening to not sign the budget bill so they wouldn't get paid.
A couple of interesting bills made it to Abbotts desk but he hasn't signed them yet, Constitutional carry and a Texas made suppressor bill are both on my radar. He will have a tough time getting re-elected if he doesn't sign those. But its politics and all.
