Democrat fleabaggers also postponed funding for border law enforcment

 Just the News:

After being unable to conduct business for 37 days because of absconding House Democrats, the House Appropriations Committee is expected to take up border security funding this week, the governor said. On the call, he urged the sheriffs and county judges to explain the urgency of receiving funding to committee members. 

Border security funding is listed fifth on a list of 17 legislative priorities Abbott directed the legislature to address when he called for a second special legislative session August 5.  

But Smith and others have asked why are they waiting on the legislature when Abbott said $1 billion was allocated for border security.

“What about the $1 billion that was supposedly allocated to border security through the last legislature session? Lot of questions here without any clear answers,” Smith said.

At a July 10 briefing with sheriffs in Austin after Democrats fled the state, Abbott said he had asked "for additional appropriations from the state Legislature during the special session to, in part, fund the needs that the sheriffs have articulated, but also to fund in part additional strategies that will be conducted by the state of Texas" including a "comprehensive border security plan."

This looks like urgent business for the legislature.  They should get on it most ricky-tick.
