Background:
There are solutions to the budget crisis:
Using the $9.4 billion Rainy Day Fund meant to meet service needs in tough economic times.
Maximizing federal assistance, such as the Education Jobs Act money—$830 million for retaining teachers—that is earmarked for Texas by the U.S. Congress.
Closing unproductive tax loopholes, exploring new revenue sources, funding schools equitably and fixing the structural deficit that leaves our state billions of dollars short each year.
So join us on Facebook before the call and also sign our petition calling for a balanced approach to balancing the state budget!
RSVP Now!
