In Texas, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has taken significant actions concerning environmental and fiscal policies. He has requested the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to stop approving permits for concrete production plants until the 2025 legislative session, citing community concerns about environmental impacts in areas like North Fort Worth and Grayson County. Additionally, Patrick has directed the Texas Senate to develop a plan aimed at eliminating property taxes, a move that could potentially affect public school funding. He is also advocating for the consideration of a ban on cannabis-related products including Delta-8 and Delta-9.
