Does this mean the Rep Collier would oppose a bill outlawing carrying of firearms in Texas and eliminating the LTC all together since it would cost the state revenue?Papa_Tiger wrote:http://www.mystatesman.com/news/state-- ... 1nyIk3SzJ/mojo84 wrote:Can you provide a link to the article?

LTC fee should pay for DPS to conduct a background check and process the plastic, nothing more. The antis will grasp at any straw.
From the ever unbiased Austin American Statesman -
The bill would cost the state $22 million in lost revenue over the next two years, according to the Legislative Budget Board.
State Rep. Nicole Collier, D-Fort Worth who voted against the bill, said that the money should be spent on more pressing matters like schools or child welfare. She also said that guns are being given special treatment.
