Paxton joins others in
letter
Texas Attorney
General Ken Paxton on
Jan. 19 announced his
decision to join 13 other
state attorneys general in
signing a letter to the
Trump administration.
Those states
Alabama,
Arkansas,
Kansas,
Michigan,
Nebraska,
South Carolina, West
Virginia and Wyoming.
The joint letter urges
the repeal of two new
rules that signatories
said would expand the
definition of critical
habitat for endangered
species promulgated by
the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service and the
National Marine
Fisheries Service.
“The Obama adminis-
tration abused the limits
of its office when it
expanded the power of
unelected bureaucrats to
kill economic develop-
ment on private proper-
ty,” Attorney General
Paxton said. According
to the letter, “Critical
habitat designations, by
their very nature, limit
human activity. That
limitation almost always
results in a lost econom-
ic opportunity.”
Funding method is
studied
Texas Comptroller
Glenn Hegar, in the
December 2016/January
2017 edition of Fiscal
Notes, referred to certifi-
cates of obligation as a
“controversial funding
tool” for local projects.

State Capital Highlights
Week of Jan.
23-29, 2017
Marches come one
day after inauguration
of new president
AUSTIN
Thousands of Texans
were on hand to witness
the inauguration of
Donald J. Trump as the
45th president of the
United States on Jan. 20
in Washington.
President
closed his
inaugural address by
saying: “Together, we
will make America
strong again. We will
make America wealthy
again. We will make
America proud again.
We will make America
safe again. And yes,
together we will make
America great again.”
Displays of patriotism
took other forms the fol-
lowing day, when the
Women’s March on
Washington attracted a
multitude ranging in size
from 500,000 to more
than one million people.
Similar gatherings were
held in Austin and other
large cities around the
country and the globe.
Counters estimated that
somewhere between
50,000 and 90,000 peo-
ple took part in the
Women’s March on
Austin. The 12-block
march up Congress
Avenue from the city’s
Ann W. Richards Bridge
on Lady Bird Lake
ended on the south side
of the Texas Capitol
grounds.
In Washington,
Austin, and in many
other cities, Women’s
March participants
spoke in favor of
women’s rights and to
protest racial inequities.
Other prominent topics
included
rights,
reform, equal pay for
equal work, minimum
wage increase and envi-
ronmental issues.
Most elected repre-
sentatives were on hand
for the inauguration, but
67 Democratic members
of Congress refused to
attend, following the
example of civil rights
champion Rep. John
Lewis of Georgia.
Among those who did
not attend were Texas
U.S. Reps. Joaquin
Castro of San Antonio,
Lloyd Doggett of Austin,
Al Green of Houston and
Filemon Vela of
Brownsville.
Budget proposals are
made
Earlier in January,
Texas Comptroller
Glenn Hegar released a
2018-2019 biennial rev-
enue estimate of just
under $105 billion in
general revenue avail-
able for lawmakers to
use in crafting a new
state budget.
Hegar’s estimate set a
benchmark for budgets
to be written in the com-
ing weeks by each house
of the Texas Legislature.
Last week, the Senate
Finance Committee
released an initial budget
that includes $103.6 bil-
lion in general revenue
spending. The House
Appropriations
Committee’s version
tipped the scales at
$108.9 billion, signaling
much work to be done
before the two bodies
can agree.
One of several key
differences in the com-
mittees’ budget calcula-
tions comes from growth
projections in public
education. The Senate
estimates an increase of
80,000 students in Texas
L i
must seek voter approval
before taking on new
bond debt for the con-
struction of projects such
as hospitals, schools and
water infrastructure.
Instead of going that
route, he pointed out,
some local governments
use certificates of obli-
gation to fund such proj-
ects without voter
approval.
Between fiscal 2006
and fiscal 2015, Hegar
said, outstanding debt in
the form of certificates
of obligation issued by
local governments rose
by nearly 85 percent,
compared to the 50-per-
cent growth rate for total
debt held by these enti-
ties.
