Texas Republicans leave an estimated $2.7 BILLION on the table each year they fail to pass meaningful legislation to legalize cannabis. That’s tens of thousands of jobs and BILLIONS of dollars in tax revenues — that we could invest in school districts to lower our property taxes.

Not that it would be relevant in this instance, but candidates and electeds should be required to file past political donations they made and have their voting history provided when they run for office at a minimum. Those things matter to me when I’m deciding who to vote for.
