WICHITA FALLS, Texas (TNN) - Just three weeks are left in the Texas Legislative session, with multiple bills still to be passed and a budget to be approved.
News Channel 6 spoke with Senator Drew Springer on where budget negotiations are currently sitting.
$797 million have gone toward securing the border between the U.S. and Mexico and an additional $26 billion toward TxDOT improvements. Springer said the money will be used to make necessary highway and road repairs to accommodate the thousands of new people moving into Texas on a weekly basis.
