Abortion, abortion, abortion, crackdown on local control, fighting non-existant problems, SCARY BATHROOMS, and sunset. GMAFB. Sunset held prisoner so rich GOP donors can get shit that does nothing, and makes them happy.
This is how Republicans run governments. Intellectually, and morally bankrupt, IMO.
But Abbott's not explicitly pushing lawmakers to change the school finance system in the special session; he's just asking for a $1,000 across-the-board teacher pay raise. That would cost about $350 million a year. Abbott says that can be done without any spending increases. But he hasn't offered any ideas for how to pay for it. :rolleyes
