10 years or more without a cost of living expenses increase is unacceptable but not surprising with you lot.

And there has been no cost of living adjustment for retirees since 2005. This is a poor substitute.

The supplement is appreciated, but retired teachers have not received a cost of living increase in over a decade. A band-aid is appreciated, but doesn’t solve the problem.

Thank you for voting for SB 7 making it possible for retirees to receive this much needed supplement.

Thank you for supporting retired teachers. G

How about TRS retirees? No COLA and no 13th checks.

DPS retirees got nothing

Good grief - teachers live off the taxpayer, who also work their asses off to provide for their families. If teachers want better pay, they should get a job outside of government. I’ll probably get slammed for speaking truth here, but truth is truth, and I am speaking as a former teacher.

Meanwhile, CURRENT Texas teachers are being told by the state government what they can and cannot teach.

The fact that we have no consequences for prosecutorial and judicial misconduct in Texas, is also like human trafficking. In Texas, if a prosecutor secures a conviction on an innocent person, they're rewarded with an appointment by the governor!

It was disgraceful that only two Republicans showed up to remember the police officers killed or wounded during the attack on our Capital.

Then again, you didn't address their concerns regarding permit-less deregulated gun carry, its not what you say, its what you do. Pure hypocrisy

Thank you to all the courageous first responders who put their life on the line every day in spite of the continuous negativity they are forced to endure. God bless and keep you safe today and everyday!🙏

Dear Lord we pray you will be with all law enforcement where ever they may be , keep them safe to be able to return to their family and loved ones when their shift is over. Lord we pray for those that have lost their lives in while on duty and bless their families and friends plus their departments. Lord we also pray you will heal our land and get rid of all this virus that is killing our people everywhere. Lord we thank you for all you give to us and forgive us for our sins. in your precious name we pray. Amen

Thank you for each day putting your life on the line for us. GOD bless you and your family.

Thank you to all who serve!

Ted Cruz, John Cornyn. & U.S. Representative John Carter didn't vote in favor of medals for 1/6 law enforcement nor did they attend memorial services for law enforcement officers maimed/killed in the GQP 1/6 insurrection. Please spare us any more of your nonsense about how the GQP cares for law enforcement. [BTW, TX LEOs loudly and repeatedly asked that you not make gun laws more lax, yet you did so anyway -- remember that?]

Unless they're Capitol Police wounded or murdered by right wing insurrectionists. Then Republicans suddenly want nothing to do with them.
