State Rep. Wes Virdell: "I was told that no matter how much money you give ISDs, they will complain it isn't enough. I thought, there is no way they could complain about an 8 billion dollar increase and yet here we are. Lesson learned."

Texas Department of Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller: "A total ban is unnecessary and counter-productive. Texas needs to approach cannabis reform with a scalpel, bot a sledgehammer."

Texas Republican Party Chair Abraham George: "As Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas, I applaud the defeat of House Resolution 236, which sought to honor Cecile Richards - the former head of Planned Parenthood and a leading advocate for policies that directly contradict the values of millions of Texans."
