Lt. Gov. Patrick issues statement on passing of Texas budget
AUSTIN– Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick issued this statement today on the bipartisan final passage of House Bill 1, the 20242025 State Budget, and Senate Bill 30, the Fiscal Year 2023 Supplemental Budget, both carried by Sen. Joan Huffman, R-Houston: “The Texas economy is the envy of America and the entire world. As our economy continues rapidly growing into the middle of the 21st century, it is more important than ever that we double down on the conservative principles that have brought prosperity to millions of Texans. Our budget for the 2024-2025 biennium is within all constitutional spending limits, does not exceed population growth times inflation, and addresses key priorities for Texans statewide.
