Senator Eddie Lucio, Jr.'s mail-in survey...Fill it out...Let Austin Know What We Want...

Senator Eddie Lucio, Jr., sent his constituents a pamphlet entitled "Captiol Update". I received mine in the mail today. In it, Senator Lucio discusses topics such as education, border issues, and contact information. What really got my attention was a survey in the back of the pamphlet that asks us to fill it out and mail it to his office in Austin. The survey is a list of priorities on issues that will be addressed in April's special session to discuss school finance. Some of these topics include, "Provide across the board pay raises for teachers". Good one, especially here in the Rio Grande Valley where teachers not only have to worry about preparing students for the dreaded TAKS test, they have to fight to make sure these same students don't drop out of high school. This is an opportunity for your voice to be heard by our legislation. Please take the time to fill out the survey and mail it back to Austin. The price of a stamp is well worth our participation in the process.
