Using his veto power to get what he wants on property tax reform may have backfired on Governor Abbott.
Governor Greg Abbott's plan to push senators to support his property tax relief and school choice proposals might have backfired on him when he vetoed many bills, most of which had garnered bipartisan support.
Abbott took issue with bills covering a wide array of topics ranging from regulating telephone solicitations , creating a sickle cell disease registry and a potential real estate purchase of state land by the Palo Pinto County Livestock Association . Abbott received backlash from voter rights advocates and legislators alike. He said the reason for rejecting this legislation was the inability to ensure that this voting method would be accessed by those who were disabled only – not because of property tax or school choice.
“One thing that all the senators can agree with – even the same number of senators who didn’t have a veto cast against them – is that the governor went over the top,” he said. “He crossed a line and did so in an unstructured, not strategic way."
