Lt. Gov. David DewhurstLt. Gov. David Dewhurst appointed his Select Committee on Public School Finance and Education reform today. It consists entirely of senators. Sen. Florence Shapiro (R-Plano) will chair the committee. The other members of the committee are Sens. Kip Averitt (R-McGregor), Kim Brimer (R-Fort Worth), Robert Duncan (R-Lubbock), Juan Hinojosa (D-McAllen), Eddie Lucio (D-Brownsville), Steve Ogden (R-Bryan), Royce West (D-Dallas), and Tommy Williams (R-The Woodlands). While many Senate Education Committee members serve on the select committee, the two committees do not have the same membership.

"I encourage the committee to continue work on a public school finance plan that puts additional resources into public school classrooms, tied to greater accountability and performance, cuts property taxes and closes business tax loopholes,” Dewhurst said.
