State congressmen to highlight Texoma Patriots meeting Tuesday

Tuesday night in at Buck Snort BBQ in downtown Van Alstyne, the Texoma Patriots will feature two local state congressmen to give a recap on the 86th Legislative Session

The two Texas Republican representatives will inform voters on what took place during the 140 days they were in Austin tending to the affairs of “we Texans ” Some have described this 86th session as rather lackluster, but what was accomplished?

The two elected officials are coming to inform the group about what new laws have passed, what never made it for a vote, and what’s on the Governor’s desk awaiting signature

The emphasis this session was on property tax reform The Patriots will come loaded with questions such as - will we see decreases in our taxes? If so, how? If not, why not? What was done to control school tax increases? How is religious liberty for businesses and their owners being protected? Will businesses data mine our children? Is sex education destroying the moral compass of our students? Are taxpayers funding Planned Parenthood? Can conservatives win in 2020? Gun rights Right to Life Election integrity Border security What questions do you want to ask them?
