From @megankimble: A bill that's probably heading to @GregAbbott_TX's desk will limit property tax collection in TX's cities. The bill comes on the tail of Houston struggling with a $330M deficit in 2025 + a continuously imbalanced budget. 👀houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas…
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is up for renewal in September. Senators @BillCassidy & @CoryBooker want public feedback on the program, including affordability, disaster mitigation, and flood mapping. Here's their letter: cassidy.senate.gov/wp-content/upl…
In today committee's hearing @CodyHarrisTX reads Bass' tweet and responds: "I want to make one thing abundantly clear: I will not be intimidated by name calling, legal threats, or any other bullying tactics. "

I always learn so much from reading @megankimble. Go check out her new story! #txlege
I don’t always agree with @HoustonChron, but this article is spot on. #txlege #water houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas…
NEW in @HoustonChron: A fight over groundwater in East Texas has triggered a seismic rethinking of the state's water law, with state leaders promising to topple the 120-year-old doctrine governing groundwater in Texas known as the rule of capture. houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas…
Fellow #txlege reporters: we've already over-used "fleeing", "decamping" and even "absconding". May I offer "skedaddling" and "vamoosing"?
🇺🇸 Kerr Officials Grilled Over Flood Response ▫Takeaways from the heated July 4 flood hearing: Kerr County officials grilled over absences, delays ▫@AmandaDrane @neenareports @megankimble ▫is.gd/Uyw3Rn #frontpagestoday #USA @HoustonChron 🇺🇸
Two dozen experts set to testify at Texas lawmakers' Kerrville flood hearing ahead of the public, via @baylisswagner and @megankimble houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas… via @HoustonChron
Read @neenareports @keribla's important story in @HoustonChron about how the local river authority in Kerr County chose to keep taxes low -- rather than fund flood alerts. houstonchronicle.com/news/investiga…
New from @megankimble, @neenareports & me: @TDEM Director Nim Kidd today told lawmakers that poor coordination between state and local emergency managers hampered the response to the July 4 flash floods that killed 136 people statewide. #txlege houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas…
Invited testimony at tomorrow’s #txlege joint Disaster Preparedness & Flooding committees will include several state agency heads, the Texas Water Development Board, river authority officials and a panel on emergency communications, per agenda:
New w/@HoustonChron @megankimble: Under 5% of homes in high-risk areas of Kerr County had federal flood insurance before the July 4 storm. Our exclusive analysis reveals that thousands more homes outside of high-risk areas also flooded—and shows who was affected.🧵
NEW: @carolineghisolf and I wondered: How many homes in the highest-risk areas of Kerr County had flood insurance? The answer: Almost none. Read our investigation in @HoustonChron houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas…
FEMA's quick Texas response was 'the exception' as a disaster backlog grows under Trump, @osborneja reports. Five other states are awaiting a federal response more than a month after requesting a disaster declaration #txlege houstonchronicle.com/politics/artic…
to all my friends in public media: your work is so valuable. there are many people who see very clearly that you provide an essential public service for your communities. as U.S. media keeps deteriorating, non-corporate media matters so much. you are appreciated by so many of us.
