School choice lumped into HB100, could get a full Senate vote later this week
is now an omnibus bill that cleared the Senate Committee Monday but must go before the full Senate and then back to the House before it could go to the governor's desk.
Some say the plan faces an uphill battle with rural politicians on both sides of the aisle being opposed to school choice because they fear it will take money away from public schools. "Let's just say we go to special session after a special session on voucher/school choice and House rural Republicans dig in and say, 'No.' What does Greg Abbott do then? This is different than 2021 when he could blame Dems who fled to Washington. This is his own party. If he can't bring it to some resolution, it doesn't bring a good look," said Bob Garrett with The Dallas Morning News, who was a guest on Sunday's Lone Star Politics.
