A Texas Democrat filed a bill this week in the State Senate to give $1,500 to every household in the Lone Star State. The one-time payment from the Texas Rainy Day Fund would fulfill a campaign promise by Governor-Elect Gina Hinojosa and would include payments to illegal aliens.
\n\nTexas State Senator Roland Gutierrez (D-San Antonio) filed the bill (SB 297) this week, calling for “one-time emergency household economic relief payments in response to a statewide affordability emergency” of $1,500 to be paid to every household in Texas. The bill includes no exceptions based on citizenship or immigration status. The only qualification is that the household must be established in the state on or before January 1, 2027.
\n\nThe bill appropriates $17 billion directly out of the Economic Stabilization Fund (ESF / Rainy Day Fund). With the fund sitting at roughly $27 billion, this single measure wipes out more than 60 percent of Texas’s emergency savings in one stroke.
\n\nOn her campaign website, Governor-Elect Hinojosa promised a $1,500 Corruption Tax Refund. She stated:
\n\nGreg Abbott has hoarded $27 billion in taxpayer money into the Rainy Day Fund – money that belongs to Texans – while families struggle to pay their bills.
