2 th LEGISLATURE REGULAR SESSION BILLS AND JOINT RESOLUTIONS ON FIRST READING AND REFERRAL TO COMMITTEES Bills and joint resolutions were at this time laid before the house, read first time, and referred to committees. (See the addendum to the daily journal, Referred to Committees, List No. 1.) REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS SUSPENDED On motion of Representative Workman and by unanimous consent, the reading and referral of bills was postponed until just prior to final adjournment. PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY REPRESENTATIVE WALLE: Before we move forward, I ve been sitting at the back at my desk listening to the debate all day. I just want to get an understanding of what s happened and what s going to happen since we ve adjourned. And in reference to the motion that Chairwoman S.iThompson made, are we going to go to I know she actually withdrew her motion. Where do we stand as of now moving forward with the rest of the calendar? CHAIR (Speaker pro tempore in the chair): Representative S.iThompson has withdrawn her motion, so we are moving forward as if the motion did not occur. WALLE: And so those 20 bills or those members that had those bills knocked off the local, those are not coming back, for all intents and purposes? CHAIR: No, not today, they re not. WALLE: Not today you re correct about that. CHAIR: Correct, not today. WALLE: So we re going to move on to the normal scheduled calendar, is that fair? CHAIR: Yes. I think your question is, will we proceed as we normally would from here? The answer is yes. WALLE: There s no intent to bring those 20 bills back up then? Today? CHAIR: Today there is not, because, as you know, those bills would go to the next local calendar. Most of them would go to the next local calendar. Some could go into the general Calendars Committee. WALLE: Right, because they have been knocked off twice, I think. CHAIR: Well, I m not maybe some. The chair is not advised specifically on those 20. WALLE: It would have been unprecedented to do something like that, the motion that Ms.iThompson did, is that a fair statement? CHAIR: No, actually, we do those type of motions somewhat regularly. WALLE: Somewhat regularly, okay. I just want to understand let the body understand that those local bills and what happens on those local bills, that s how we hold each other accountable. Is that a fair statement? The rules that apply to

3 Tuesday, May 9, 2017 HOUSE JOURNAL 67th Day 3059 those local bills as it relates to members I ll just say that s how we hold each other accountable. In reference to when somebody is actually trying to mess with one of your bills, if you will, you have an opportunity as a member to either negotiate with that other member or at least have a talk about that other member s bill, as it may or may not be on the local calendar. CHAIR: That s outside of the parliamentary process. WALLE: Okay, right. Just like in baseball, you have unwritten rules? We have unwritten rules here. CHAIR: I know even less about the baseball rules. WALLE: Are you aware that when one of your team members is in the batter s box and gets hit intentionally that somebody your pitcher on your team would probably go after that other team member in the next inning? CHAIR: I don t believe that s a proper parliamentary inquiry. WALLE: It s an unwritten rule, right? There are unwritten rules not in our House Rules that allow us to hold each other accountable. CHAIR: The parliamentarian and the chair are completely unaware of any such rules. WALLE: Thank you, I appreciate your time. REMARKS ORDERED PRINTED Representative Blanco moved to print remarks between Representative Walle and the chair. The motion prevailed. MESSAGE FROM THE SENATE A message from the senate was received at this time (see the addendum to the daily journal, Messages from the Senate, Message No. 1). RULES SUSPENDED Representative S. Thompson moved to suspend all necessary rules to take up and consider at this time, on third reading and final passage, the bills on the local, consent, and resolutions calendar which were considered on the previous legislative day. The motion prevailed. MOTION FOR ONE RECORD VOTE On motion of Representative Kacal and by unanimous consent, the house agreed to use the first record vote taken for all those bills on the local, consent, and resolutions calendar that require a record vote on third reading and final passage, with the understanding that a member may record an individual vote on any bill with the journal clerk.

And let me say, before I begin, that I have a very soft spot in my heart for children. It s my highest priority in this legislature. So if I shed a tear, it ll be okay, because I m soft enough to cry when I think a child is hurting, but I m tough enough to fight for them until hell freezes over.

11 Tuesday, May 9, 2017 HOUSE JOURNAL 67th Day 3067 This morning, Mr. Cain, Mr. Rinaldi, Mr.iTinderholt, Mr.iStickland, and Mr.iBiedermann knocked off HBi2159, which was intended to give some students relief from going hungry at lunch to keep them from being embarrassed and to keep them from being labeled. That bill for those food-insecure children deserved a debate on this house floor. And while I personally have never knocked a bill off local and consent in all of my years here, I know it is within our rules to collect five signatures or talk for 10iminutes, and I respect a member s right to do that. However, to take the action that was taken on this floor today on this bill for hungry children was unconscionable. Some of the children this bill intended to help are from families just above the poverty line. Some are from families where a wage earner has perhaps lost a job or had some other family emergency. Some are from a family where someone, for whatever reason, forgot to pay. Whatever the circumstance, we should not want these children to go without lunch. The bill simply asks school boards to set up a grace period of whatever time frame they deem appropriate. It could be one day. It could be two days. It could be two weeks. But within that time frame, the bill asks that the child s parents be contacted and to try and determine whether or not that child might be eligible for a free or reduced lunch. It allowed them to set up a methodology to receive donations for kids in these circumstances. And I ask, what is so terrible about that? I have, since this bill became a news story, a letter from a principal. A Dr.iAlston in Dallas went to several schools when he heard this story and paid the lunch accounts for kids. One of the schools that he went to was Audelia Creek Elementary on Audelia Road in Dallas. I won t read you the whole letter that the principal wrote to Dr. Alston, but he did say, "On behalf of Audelia Creek Elementary, we sincerely thank you for your generosity in helping to provide lunch for children who had no funds in their cafeteria account. With your donation, we were able to supplement the account of 36ichildren who are in arrears and put enough money in their accounts to feed them for at least a week." And this is signed by that principal, Michael Savage, and it s dated April 26. Let me tell you what happens now without this bill. A child goes through the cafeteria line, chooses a lunch, goes to the cashier, gives the cashier their PIN, and in many school districts if that account has no money, that lunch is taken. It is thrown in the trash. That lunch is taken, and it s thrown in the trash, often in the face of that child. Some of these children are as young as four. Let me tell you, to those of you who believe that this isn t true, I have the statement from a very brave teacher here, Kelvin Holt, a teacher in the Copperas Cove School District, who said this, "One of my four-year-olds slid her meal tray down to the cashier in order to pay for her meal, but instead what she heard was an emphatic you have no money, followed by the removal of her meal tray. The student then sat at the table assigned to her class and was inconsolable for the next 20iminutes while her classmates enjoyed their meal." That s from teacher Kelvin Holt. Another teacher said, and this teacher is Christopher Robinson in the Houston area, "When I saw that, it just shook me. You get bullied for stuff like that." Not to mention what one of the students said. Dakota Gibson, who is a student in Spring Branch said, "When it happened to me, I just wanted to go into

12 th LEGISLATURE REGULAR SESSION a corner and hide." Now, the hot meal is thrown into the trash, and the student is given the equivalent of this milk, these crackers, and this cheese. And I ask you, how humane is that? And would you want that to happen to your child? What message are we sending that child? A message that you don t matter, that you have no value, that you have no worth. We have embarrassed that child, and we may be affecting how that child sees their value and their worth for the rest of their lives. I ve talked to some members on this floor, and we are all privileged in here now. But some of us were not always privileged. Some of us have been food-insecure. For some legislators, what we do here on this floor, for me, seems to be an in-outside-out game, a power play. There are a few people in this chamber who believe that they alone can transform Texas, and that s a political illusion. We need to take a reality check. These legislators, in my opinion, are not about searching for the truth and giving kids an equal chance. They re about winning at any cost, even when the cost results in a child going hungry. I don t know why you came to this Texas Legislature, but my highest priority, as I said before, is to help our children reach their full potential. And while we may not all agree on this, I firmly believe that they are all our children. But for some folks here, it s about a primary, it s about a scorecard. It s about the spin. It s about the power. And let me just say that I am not confused. Everyone here is both powerful and privileged. How could you not be? Out of 26imillion people in this state, 150iof us have been chosen to lead in this Texas House. So what are we going to do with that power and that privilege? What are we going to do about our children? We say many times in this house that we are servant-leaders. Well, one of the questions that servant-leaders always ask themselves is, "Because of this action I am taking, will those I serve be happier? Will they be healthier? Will they be more autonomous?" And perhaps most importantly, servant-leaders ask themselves this question, "Will the least of those be no worse off because of this action I am taking?" And I will tell you, because of the action that we took, children in Texas are going to be worse off. You and I and our families don t face hunger because we re privileged. But remember, there but for the grace of God go I. In the end, it ain t power, it ain t privilege that really defines us. It s character. It s kindness. It s love. Members, we can do better for our children. They deserve better, and I personally believe that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who harm our children. Again, I think we ve harmed our children today. I close by saying, God bless all of the children of Texas today. And we especially ask that he bless those children who are hungry. Thank you, members.
