Texas Democrats Host Friday Press Conference Call to Shed Light on Sequester's Impact in Texas


by: Ben Sherman

Thu Mar 07, 2013 at 06:32 PM CST


'Sequester' is an ugly and ill-defined word, seemingly picked by the Washington elite to divert attention from the disastrous cuts imposed upon the American people last week. Burnt Orange Report's own Emily Cadik explained how the sequester hits Texas viciously, from $67.8 million in education funding losses to $8.7 million in environmental protection funds especially for water.

The Texas Democratic Party is working to expose these devastating cuts to our state in an effort to corral Washington into reversing course.
