The 88th regular Legislative Session may be complete, but state lawmakers are still in a gridlock, working through differences on property tax reform.
Two of the area’s lawmakers seemed upbeat and positive about the session as a whole, but one did not hold back his words when asked about it.
“I have served seven sessions and more than a dozen special sessions in my legislative career and would rate the actions of the 88th Session as one of the greatest legislative session disappointments I have ever experienced,” said Rep. Hugh Shine, R-Temple, who represents House District 55, which includes Harker Heights and part of Killeen.
