State Rep. Drew Springer prepares for 84th session
As the days tick away to the start of the 84th Texas Legislative Session, 68th District Rep. Drew Springer made a visit to Bowie Monday for a town hall meeting.
Springer, who resides in Muenster, had a full day of forums planned in Bowie, Vernon and Matador, before heading to Austin for committee meetings on Tuesday. The government official goes into his second session with two years of experience under his belt representing his 22 counties spanning from Cooke County to the Panhandle.
It has been a busy interim for the legislator from border security issues to a federal land grab along the Red River. Bureau of Land Management is attempting to reinterpret the Texas-Oklahoma border and grab 90,000 acres for federal designation.
