Sen. Middleton gets defensive when flaws are pointed out in the proposal that was previously gutted by Senate Republicans; some GOP members raise concerns about which entities would not barred from hiring representation before the legislature and the executive branch
Sen. Middleton loses his cool with those pointing out flaws in his bill that was gutted by Republicans during the regular session; some GOP members raise concerns about which entities would not be able to hire representation before the legislature and the executive branch
Calling the long-standing practice of local governments hiring representation at the Capitol the “equivalent of USAID,” Sen. Mayes Middleton, R-River Oaks, laid out the latest iteration of his long-sought pet project of banning so-called taxpayer funded lobbying in Senate State Affairs.
Yes, that comparison is as tortured as you think.

While he failed to distinguish the link between the dismantled life-saving foreign aid agency and a diplomatic force for soft power and allowing the municipalities and counties to hire seasoned lobbyists, he flew through his layout on one of Gov. **Greg Abbott’**s 18 special session priorities.
With very little notice of the hearing, a handful of witnesses for and against still made their way to the Capitol.
