>> IF IT’S SUCH A MAJOR ISSUE WHY ISN’T ON THE NOV.8 BALLOT? <<
Because Texan ballot initiatives have to be sponsored by two-thirds majorities of the legislature?
From Ballotpedia:
“Texas ballot measures come in just one of the six common varieties: Legislatively-referred constitutional amendment - a proposed constitutional amendment that appears on Texas’s ballot as a ballot measure because the Texas State Legislature voted to put it before the voters. In order for a proposed constitutional amendment to be placed on the ballot, the Texas State Legislature must propose the amendment in a joint resolution of both the Texas State Senate and the Texas House of Representatives. The joint resolution can originate in either the House or the Senate. The resolution must be adopted by a vote of at least two-thirds of the membership of each house of the legislature. That amounts to a minimum of 100 votes in the House of Representatives and 21 votes in the Senate.”
We all notice the way you attempted to lead someone to presume that Texas allows voter initiatives, when Texas doesn’t.
Oh no I didn’t. You mean a petition to the Reps is meaningless. No Texans VOTE FOR their REPS And SEN. Don’t blame Perry if you didn’t bother to ask your candidate how he felt about in-state tuition.
Amazing how you all try to shift the responsibility for the in-state tuition isssue. YOU VOTED for the Leg and Sen that voted it into LAW OVERWHELMINGLY. Take responsibility.
