HOUSE ADOPTS RULES, INCLUDING A CHANGE TO CUT DOWN ON PREVALENCE OF POINTS OF ORDER …

Otherwise, the debate was for the most part pro forma with the biggest change effected coming from Rep. Phil King who successfully made changes to the standards for sustaining a point of order.
In recent sessions, King and others have complained that it has become too easy to kill bills on procedural grounds, with frustration highest when lawmakers have waited until several hours into debate to introduce a point of order.

AUSTIN – Today, State Representative Phil King (R- Weatherford) pledged support for the Texas Budget Compact, a set of five key principles for a stronger Texas outlined by Governor Rick Perry to keep Texas on the path to prosperity.
“In the shadow of the Obama Administration’s out-of-control tax and spend policies, Texas must stand strong and fight to keep our budget as lean as possible,” King explained, “Texans are already taxed enough at every turn and cannot afford for government to take even more of their hard earned money. By adopting strong, conservative policies now, we can ensure that Texas remains the number one place in the country to do business. That’s why I am pledging my support for the Texas Budget Compact.”
Government Spending – structural reform imperative
This short, entertaining video demonstrates the need to do more than merely “cut” federal spending. There must be true structural reform. The same is true for our state budget. Although Texas hasn’t amassed unmanageable debt, mere cuts alone will not protect us from tax increases and rapid government growth. Medicaid (not Medicare) spending alone will soon exceed public education spending in Texas!

Sincerely,
Phil King

Our Fight Against Washington Begins in Austin
Heading into this year’s election cycle with all of the confusion surrounding redistricting in Texas, it is extremely important that we focus on what this election is truly about. Here are a few facts that should help shed some light on what we are facing:
Obama Administration Placing Pro-Abortion Politics Over Womens’ Health Program
I want to share with you this excellent editorial by Governor Perry about the Women’s Health Program and the political games the Obama Administration is playing with it. I recently wrote a letter to Health and Human Services Commissioner Tom Suehs with several other representatives on this subject, urging him to stay the course and follow the intent of the legislature by not giving in to the pressure he’s receiving from the federal government to give taxpayer dollars to abortion providers.
