Abbott says he's reached an agreement on vouchers; Texas lawmakers say otherwise
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday issued a statement saying he and House Speaker Dade Phelan have reached a deal on education vouchers by expanding the current special session agenda to include teacher pay raises and more school funding. However, lawmakers at the Texas Capitol are light on details, and at least one state representative is calling bullshit on Abbott's announcement. Abbott made vouchers his top priority for a special session he called of the Texas Legislature after the proposal he originally backed died in the Texas House.
