State senators decided on Wednesday that rather than control waste, end diversions and promote transparency, they'd just let taxes and fees rise. That's the only message the Senate's vote on John Carona's disasterous [1] SB 855 can send. Fortunately, there were eight senators willing to stand up for commonsense and fiscal responsibility:         Troy Fraser of Horseshoe Bay         Glenn Hegar of Katy         Joan Huffman of Houston         Mike Jackson of Galveston         Jane Nelson of Denton         Steve Ogden of Bryan         Dan Patrick of Houston         Letica Van de Putte of San Antonio Now the fight on this legislation moves to the Texas House. A good summary of what's wrong with the legislation can be found at the Texas Public Policy Foundation [2].
