The Texas economy is the 15th in the world based on GDP figures, let in this time of instant change in issues of a large dynamic state, the legislature only meets from January through May every two years. Yesterday, the current biannual session ended with many very needed bills now dead, unless the governor calls a special session. Setting up budgets every two years make no sense at all. It’s a part of the original Texas Constitution, which is seem. as something carved in stone, not something that evolves with the needs of today’s people, rather than those of 1875. In 1875, the constitution represented the desires of farmers, which were interested in limiting the powers of government by making the constitution very complex and disorganized, thereby an impedance to decisive action. For a state as large as Texas, with one of the largest economies on the globe, meeting 140 days every two years makes it impossible to keep up with today’s economic challenges.
