Texas State Representative Brian Harrison is blasting the leadership of the Texas House after finally getting his hands on a copy of the 1,500-page $340 billion Texas budget. He was then asked to vote on it less than 20 hours later.
He posted a video with a printed copy of the budget on his X page with the caption, "I can confirm the House Appropriations Committee will be voting today on the most liberal, bloated budget in Texas history."
In the video, he called the budget a "liberal train-wreck" and an "outrage." He also said the budget funds DEI, transgender ideology, and explodes the size of the Texas bureaucracy.
Harrison went on to point out what the budget DOESN'T do, saying, "This budget does not put our state on a path to eliminate property taxes. Hell, I'm not even sure there's any real property tax relief whatsoever in this budget."
He says the budget is an "outrage" and was written "in secret" and "lawlessly."
