So all of us here, Democrats, Republicans, we see that the Texas House is not responding. I mean, we have an overwhelming $32 billion surplus, which is a $32 billion over collection of taxes and A 20 plus billion dollar rollover of funds that we didn't spend. Texans were collected in 2021 and 2022. We did not appropriate in 2023, we're not going to appropriate in 2024. We may do it in 2025 just to receive that money in 2026. (06:30–06:36)
