LSTP TEXAS ALERT - URGENT URGENT URGENT; SUPPORT HJR 2/HB 16!
July 17, 2013 > >Dear Transportation Advocate: >The Texas House of Representatives will hold a critical vote this Thursday. If allocating more revenue to fund transportation investment is important to you, please contact your legislator and tell him or her to vote for HJR 2 and HB 16. > >HJR 2, if approved by the Legislature and the voters, will permit the state highway fund to retain all of the motor fuels tax revenue rather than sending 25 percent to the available school fund. Public education will not lose any money. An amount equal to 25 percent of motor fuels tax revenue will still be allocated to the available school fund. It will come from revenue from the oil and gas production tax rather than the motor fuels tax. > >HB 16, if approved by the Legislature, will allocate to the state highway fund one third of the vehicles sales tax revenue in excess of $3.6 billion annually, so as vehicle sales increase, transportation funding will increase. > >We are in support of a floor for the Rainy Day Fund and will work to ensure >that a floor is added in the Senate. However, if we do not pass this measure in the third reading, this issue will not be given to the Texas voter to determine in November. Thursday, Texas growth is at stake on Thursday, the future of Texas transportation fueling economic development is at stake, the future of State Highway 360 is at stake, the growth in our community is on the Texas House floor. > > >These two measures are the last opportunity before the Legislature reconvenes >in 2015 to address the large transportation funding gap Texas faces. Contacting your legislator can make the difference in whether HJR 2 and HB 16 pass or fail. Please take a minute to call or e-mail your legislator today. > * Representative Phil King [email protected]. us (512)463-0738) > * Representative Myra Crownover myra.crownover@ house.state.tx.us > (512)463- 0582 > * Representative Lon Burnam [email protected]. tx.us (817)924-1997 > * Representative Charlie Geren Charlie.geren@house. state.tx.us (817) > 738-8333 > * Representative Rob Orr [email protected] (817) 295-5158 > * Representative Tan Parker [email protected]. tx.us (972) > 724-8477 > * Representative Diane Patrick diane.patrick@house. state.tx.us (817) > 548-9091 > * Representative William Zedler Bill.zedler@house. state.tx.us > 817-483-1885 > * Representative Chris Turner chris.turner@house. state.tx.us > (817)459-2800 > * Representative Stephanie Klick Stephanie.klick@house. state.tx.us > (817)281-0079 > * Representative Jonathan Stickland jonathan.stickland@ > house.state.tx.us (512) 463-0522 > * Representative Matt Krause Matt.Krause@house. state.tx.us (512) > 463-0562 > * Representative Craig Goldman craig.goldman@house. state.tx.us (512) > 463-0608 > * Representative Giovanni Capriglione Giovanni. > [email protected] (817)431-5339 > * Representative Nicole Collier Nicole.collier@house. state.tx.us (512) > 463-0716 > >Thank you, >Andy Nguyen, Commissioner >Tarrant County, Precinct 2 > >Phone: 817-548-3900 >Email: ahnguyen@tarrantcounty. com Visit Lone Star Tea Party at: http://lonestarteaparty.us/? xg_source=msg_mes_network To control which emails you receive on Lone Star Tea Party, click here When replying to this message, plz cc: [email protected] to assure prompt reply.
