Senator Menéndez Blasts Senate Interim Charge Targeting Teachers, Police, Firefighters, and other Public Employees
“The Texas Senate has better things to do than pick on community servants”
“I am frustrated that the Senate has chosen to waste taxpayer dollars by going after the hard-earned paychecks of police, firefighters, teachers, and other public employees. They have the right to spend their paychecks however they see fit. The deductions process is automated and the cost minimal. Thousands of state employees use payroll deduction for a variety of reasons including to make automatic contributions to charitable organizations and union dues. I am committed to protecting the right of state employees to donate money to whatever cause is important to them. It is a personal, family decision that the government does not need to micromanage.”
“I am deeply disappointed we have chosen to make this issue an interim charge when there are so many more important and pressing issues facing Texans. It is somewhat ironic that the charge is to waste tax dollars to study if tax dollars are being wasted. I vehemently fought against this bill during the legislative session and I will continue to work against it over the interim. The Texas Senate has better things to do than pick on community servants, teachers, and first responders.”
State Affairs Interim Charge 2:
Union Dues: Examine the practice of using public funds and employees for the payment processing of union dues. Make recommendations on whether Texas should end this practice.
