AUSTIN (1080 KRLD) - In Austin, this is the last day of the legislative session, but it appears most of the major work is already finished.
Over the weekend, lawmakers approved everything from property tax relief, a school finance plan, and the budget for the next two years.
Big money is in the budget to pay for teacher pay raises and property tax relief says Senator Larry Taylor. There’s also money to deal with the backlog of sexual assault investigations says Representative Donna Howard.
Billions also were approved for Hurricane Harvey repairs.
