The successful point of order about 1:40 a.m. came roughly 11 hours after a similar Democratic challenge halted a planned vote on Senate Bill 659, which would have let several hundred property owners along Lake Austin secede from Austin.
When SB 1499 came up for a vote on Lost Creek s future, Rep. Vikki Goodwin, D-Austin, was ready with her point of order but found Rep. Ben Leman, R-Anderson, occupying the back microphone to ask questions about the bill. ....

By Don Wiener and Alex Kotch
State legislative leaders and members of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) are spearheading many of the GOP s efforts at voter suppression in the states, especially those that saw close 2020 presidential results. More than 360 bills have been introduced in 47 states to restrict voting access since the beginning of the year, according to the Brennan Center for Justice, which tracks state legislation on voting and elections.
The Center for Media and Democracy has determined that more than 100 Republican politicians connected to ALEC in just six battleground states are lead sponsors or co-sponsors of those bills. ....

“We must cut through the finger-pointing and hear directly from stakeholders about the factors that contributed to generation staying down at a time when families needed it most, what our state can do to correct these issues, and what steps regulators and grid operators are taking to safeguard our electric grid,” Phelan said. ....
