Legislature Needs
Extended Sessions
Seventy-three days ago the 60th session of the Texas
legislature convened in Austin, a session that lasts for 120
days every two years. This year, legislators are faced with
such issues as liquor-by-the-drink, tax increase, Sunday clos-
ing laws and parimutuel betting.
Of that 120 will be days of filibuster and quorumless
houses; days of little or no legislative activity.
Texas legislators, representatives and senators are paid
a total of $6,500 in salaries and expenses. While $55 a day
is not an extravagant amount to pay for educated legislative
minds, 120 to 190 days of work every two years is too little
time to receive the full benefit of their efforts.
Each day of legislative activity is preceded by mindless
formality, decreasing'even more the total effective working
time of our state government. The governor has called for a
Constitutional amendment that would extend the session of
the legislature. Texas has growing pains, but will have more
than that unless there is efficient and continually functioning
legislative machinery.
We need a government that functions more than 120
days every two years. Action has been called for and now is
the time for our legislators to answer the call that will better
take advantage of their legislative talents and needs of the
people in a growing and great state.
