Another Special Session? Texas Says No
By Byron LaMasters
That's what the Dallas Morning News says:
Now that the Legislature has prematurely ended its special session to overhaul funding of schools, a majority of Texans with an opinion have some advice on holding another special session: Don't do it.
A new Texas Poll conducted through last week showed that 48 percent of Texans oppose Gov. Rick Perry calling another special session on school finance, while 40 percent favored the idea. Another 12 percent were undecided or had no answer.
Two-thirds of those surveyed said they supported the initial special session that began April 20 and ended two days early on Monday – without producing any legislation. Further, a majority said they were not bothered by the $1.7 million price tag for the session.
Rick Perry is an idiot. Idiot.

It's very simple, Byron. The reason why we need school finance reform is because some districts have very rich tax bases, and others do not.
This was a gerrymandering scheme set up by the Democrats to keep the true tax base from being expressed.
What we need is redistricting! And we need to keep calling special sessions until we get it.[/sarcasm]
