BPL Marches On in Texas - One Chance Left to Kill It

The Texas House passed the BPL bill: Save Muni Wireless: Texas House approves telecom bill; TML stops opposition - deadline is Wednesday

The only chance left to kill this bill is the calendar: there were amendments so a conference is required, and the special session ends Wednesday, leaving little time to get a final version on the calendar for a vote.

Also the Lt. Governor has sworn not to let any bills be heard until school financing is done, and they haven't accomplished anything with that.

If the BPL bill fails this session, it will have to be reintroduced in a future session.
