Reaction to Vote on House Budget Bill
How Twitterverse reacted to the passage of the bare bones House budget bill; plus notes from reporters on the vote.
- Editor's/Reporter's/Intern's Note -- The Tumblr link below is to my personal Tumblr because our WordPress and Movable Type websites don't support Storify embedding.
So, I'm using it as a hub for the Storify content that the Houston Chronicle/San Antonio Express-News Austin Bureau has created over the budget debate.
The views there (and I don't think there are any -- it's a pretty straight political analysis/occasional rant about TV shows) are my own. - The play-by-play from the Capitol Press Corps with their notes on the vote.
- Rep. David Simpson and @AaronPena appear to be the only Rs to vote against the budget. #txlege
- RT @TXPoliticsBlog: From Texas Politics: House votes 98-49 for bare-bones budget bit.ly/hBA3Xp #txlege - full wrap in 'First Word'
- Democratic and Republican representatives/staffers/activists tweeted their reaction to the bill's passage.
- Legislature to citizens: UP YOURS!! #txlege RT @reevehamilton: House Bill 1 passes 98-49.
- This is what 90,000 lost school district jobs looks like @ Texas State Capitol instagr.am/p/C0c0R/
- RT @leticiavdp: Worst #TxLege budget ever now comes over to Senate side. Congrats to all House members for civil yet passionate debate.But the bill is UGLY!
