Re: Opposing use of “Rainy Day Fund” emergency reserves for non-emergent budget items.

Whereas, Texas' Economic Stabilization Fund, also known as the Rainy Day Fund, was established by the Texas Legislature to provide funds for unexpected emergencies — not ongoing, known operating expenses.

Now therefore be it resolved, We, the undersigned, call on Texas state lawmakers to draft and pass a budget without raiding the Rainy Day Fund.

Quit treatin it like a personal piggy bank. Use common sense for once and stick to the original plan.

Taxpayers are tired of the constant spending. Figure out the budget without dipping into reserves meant for actual disasters.
