Area’s freshmen legislators combine to write 61 bills so far
CORPUS CHRISTI – Rep. Todd Hunter, R-Corpus Christi, has written 17 bills. Hunter, who chairs the influential House Calendars Committee, said that the number of bills a lawmaker files may not always reflect a lawmaker’s efforts. He said that it is not unusual for lawmakers to wait until the last moment to file. “I’m told there are more than 1,000 bills being printed right now,” he said.
