Texas Legislature 101: The art of Texas politics

Lawmaking in Texas is a fast-paced political process that is unique compared to other states. We sat down with TCU political science professor and political analyst Scott Braddock to learn the art of Texas politics.

Someone needs to make new laws and policies for public high schools. Grading and GPAs should be transparent. Lots of corruption in Texas high schools. Many students with higher SAT and ACT scores ranked lower than their classmates. How and why teachers grade students is a mystery and protected by confidentiality. Students participating and scoring high in UIL and Olympics graded lower than some others. "Some others" with rich parents gets be better grades. Suspicious.

Your data about the per diem is not up to date. in 2019, the legislature voted to increase their per diem to $221/day.

Seeing as our State Represenatives don't care about the bills sitting in Congress and Congress alomg with Social Security treats disabled people like myself with no dignity, the cost of living and suffering under Caps put on disabled and keeping us below the poverty line. Many like myself are looking to go to Canada for Medical assistance in dying and ending our suffering and misery we are put through under the U.S Government, their Social Security SSI and SSDI Caps, the inequality, and inhumane financial burdens and risking everything to just get off disability or married. Now like many Medical Assistance in dieing seems like a better alternative then living and I thank our U.S Congress, State Represenatives and Government for giving disabled people no way out, and it doesn't matter if we are self-employed and or part time working the cost of living out weighs the assistance by government and their caps set against actual disabled people is why many now looking to go to Canada for assistance medically in dying thanks to this corrupt government that puts a price on life.

I think that Texas needs to change their marijuana laws. And legalize it and I think just because you have THC or marijuana in your urine I have it in my blood, should not affect people from getting jobs. And should not be a reason people lose their jobs because it is in the urine samples
