“Hell will freeze over”: Dan Patrick on property taxes, parental freedom and the stalled push for his priorities Y’all-itics Special Release: April 18, 2023

Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said they were his highest priorities, from lowering property taxes to giving Texas parents money to send their kids to a new school. But with only six seeks left in the legislative session, many of those priorities are stalled in the Texas House… and he isn’t happy about that. In this special release episode of Y’all-itics, the Lieutenant Governor doesn’t hold back and takes the fight to House leaders, even calling Speaker Phelan “California Dade.” The Republican leader also made clear he won’t negotiate with what he calls the House’s “bad math” when it comes to lowering property taxes, saying “hell will freeze over” before that chamber’s plan passes. Expect the final weeks of the session to be anything but boring, as Lieutenant Governor Patrick makes crystal clear in this wide ranging interview where nothing was off topic.GUEST Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, R-Texas
