HB2806 would use taxpayer money to subsidize certain music venues and performances. This is an overreach by the state government.
The Texas State House of Representatives passed HB2806 on April 24, 2019 by a vote of 95 to 43. We have assigned pluses to the nays because government should not practice favoritism for certain venues, especially not with taxpayer money. The spending in this bill serves to subsidize venues and musicians, which isn’t needed and is very open to corruption.
