With the start of the 83rd Legislative Session State Rep. Dan Flynn (R-Van) and others say they plan to turn their focus to the single Constitutional duty of each Texas Legislator balancing the budget.
After successfully balancing the budget in the 82nd Legislature members are now looking for ways to address the needs of those areas most significantly cut.
