AUSTIN (WBAP/KLIF) – Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s office is responding to a tweet from the Lieutenant Governor regarding a fourth special session.
Lt. Governor Dan Patrick said in a Tweet on Wednesday that more needs to be done. He said the House needs to pass an election forensic audit bill, and that he would support the calling of a fourth special session. But it doesn’t appear the Governor will make that move anytime soon.
“Texans tasked the Legislature with delivering on key priorities for the state in this most recent special session, including property tax relief, redistricting, and the nearly $16 billion American Rescue Plan Act funding, and we went above and beyond to deliver on these priorities as well as solve other critical issues for Texas,” said Abbott’s Spokesperson, Renae Eze. “Because of the Texas House and Senate’s efforts to get these priorities across the finish line, there is no need for another special session at this time.”
The third special session adjourned earlier this week.
