The 84th legislative session may have ended in June, but Rep. Phil King, R-Weatherford, maintains his excitement calling the gathering of lawmakers, “successful.”
At the Rotary Club of Weatherford meeting on Sept. 29, King asked those attending to remain clear on the distinction between Austin and Washington.
King said, without question, it was the most successful legislative session he has been a part of.
“One of the things our constitution requires us to do is pass a budget when we go into session,” he said. “Again we’re different than Washington, they haven’t passed a budget in seven years and are using continuing resolutions to kick the can down the road. They certainly don’t have anything that is balanced.”
He said the federal government borrows $4-6 billion everyday which accounted for the $18 trillion dollar national deficit.
