Harrison has high hopes for Texas 89th legislative session

ELLIS COUNTY – State Rep. District 10 Brian Harrison has high hopes for the 89th Legislative Session, and began the filing of his bills several weeks ago.

“For far too long Texas has been coasting on our small government, low tax, low regulation, conservative reputation,” Harrison said of the bills he has filed for the new session. 

“It’s time we start living up to it, and I’m filing bills next session to make Texas the state everyone thinks we are.”

Harrison has bills to eliminate property taxes and he said, “Until we can do that, to make all property tax increases illegal unless the voters approve them.”

He also said he wants to “Restore fiscal sanity in our reckless, bloated, and liberal state budget, to rein in unelected woke bureaucrats, to fight federal overreach, to end crony capitalism and corporate welfare, to hold accountable executive branch bureaucrats who abuse tax dollars for liberal indoctrination, as well as many more to make government as irrelevant to our lives as possible so we can be as free as God intended us to be.”

That’s a lot to get accomplished, but Harrison is ready.

In the 88th Session, Harrison saw his HB 875 become law after being consolidated in the Senate into HB 3287 relating to a campus of the Texas State Technical College System located in Ellis County.

His HB 2992 passed out of the House, which was related to asset forfeiture under the code of criminal procedure. 

That bill never made it any further during the 88th session, but had been referred to the Criminal Justice Committee.
