THE GOVERNOR IS WELL FAMILIAR WITH THAT TOO, LAWMAKERS VOWING TO CUT PROPERTY TAXES. TO CUT PROPERTY TAXES. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US. >> SURE, JULIE. THANK YOU. >> BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE >> BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE HAVE ALLOCATED $15 BILLION FOR PROPERTY TAX RELIEF IN THEIR FIRST DRAFTS OF THE BUDGET. YOU SAID IT\u2019S A GOOD START. HOWEVER, HOW DO YOU PASS MEANINGFUL REFORM THAT\u2019S NOT A ONE-SHOT DEAL THAT YOU CAN SUSTAIN? >> FIRST, WE NEED TO APPLAUD ALL THE HARD WORKING MEN AND WOMEN OF THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT OF THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT PROVIDED THE SURPLUS THAT WE HAVE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT SURPLUS BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE. SO WE WANT TO RETURN IT TO THE PEOPLE THROUGH THE LARGEST PROPERTY TAX CUT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR STATE. WE\u2019RE WORKING ON STRATEGIES AS WE SPEAK TO MAKE SURE THIS WILL NOT BE A ONE-TIME RELIEF. THIS WILL BE ONGOING RELIEF THAT THIS WILL BE ONGOING RELIEF THAT PEOPLE WILL REALLY FEEL WHEN THEY PAY THEIR PROPERTY TAXES. THEIR PROPERTY TAX BILLS WILL BE THEIR PROPERTY TAX BILLS WILL BE LOWER GOING FORWARD IN THE FUTURE. >> YOU SAID IN YOUR INAUGURATION SPEECH PARENTS DESERVE THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE THE EDUCATION THAT\u2019S BEST FOR THEIR CHILD. DO YOU SUPPORT A SCHOOL VOUCHER DO YOU SUPPORT A SCHOOL VOUCHER PROGRAM, THOUGH? AND HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE WHATEVER IS DONE DOES NOT AFFECT PUBLIC SCHOOLS? PUBLIC SCHOOLS? >> FIRST OF ALL, WE\u2019RE LOOKING FOR DIFFERENT PATHWAYS TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL. ACHIEVE THE GOAL. THE GOAL IS THE SAME, WHETHER YOU\u2019RE A PARENT OR EDUCATOR OR JUST A CITIZEN. WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO DO BETTER. ONE THING THAT HAS BEEN SHOWN IN STUDIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND STUDIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND THAT IS WHEN SCHOOL CHOICE EXISTS, CHILDREN DO BETTER AND EXISTS, CHILDREN DO BETTER AND ALSO THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THAT AREA DO BETTER. THIS IS A GENUINE WIN-WIN THIS IS A GENUINE WIN-WIN SITUATION FOR OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND FOR THE PARENTS WHO CHOOSE THE RIGHT PATHWAY FOR THEIR CHILD. >> CAN YOU MAKE SURE WHATEVER THEY CHOOSE TO DO DOES NOT TAKE MONEY FROM THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM? >> EXACTLY. SO, AGAIN, AS BOTH THE STUDIES SO, AGAIN, AS BOTH THE STUDIES AND ANALYSIS SHOW NO SCHOOL IS GOING TO BE DEFUNDED OR LOSE MONEY BECAUSE OF SOMEONE MONEY BECAUSE OF SOMEONE CHOOSING SCHOOL CHOICE. REMEMBER THIS FACT. THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT MOVE TO DIFFERENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS EVERY YEAR. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO GRADUATE FROM A SCHOOL EVERY YEAR. WHEN THEY LEAVE THAT SCHOOL, THAT SCHOOL IS NOT DEFUNDED. THAT SCHOOL IS NOT DEFUNDED. THE SAME THING WILL APPLY WITH REGARD TO SCHOOL CHOICE. >> GOVERNOR, THERE ARE PUSHES FOR PAY RAISES AND TEACHERS AND FOR PAY RAISES AND TEACHERS AND A COST OF LIVING INCREASE FOR RETIREES. WOULD YOU SUPPORT BOTH OF THOSE INCREASES? AND HOW MUCH CAN THEY BE WITH MANY LAWMAKERS SAYING THEY HAVE MANY LAWMAKERS SAYING THEY HAVE IDEAS ON HOW TO USE THIS SURPLUS? >> AS GOVERNOR, I PROVIDED MORE FUNDING FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION FUNDING FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION THAN ANY GOVERNOR IN TEXAS HISTORY. ALSO, I PROVIDED MORE FUNDING ALSO, I PROVIDED MORE FUNDING FOR TEACHER PAY RAISES THAN ANY GOVERNOR IN TEXAS HISTORY. AND I SUPPORT TEACHER PAY RAISES THIS SESSION AS WELL AS HELPING OUT AND BOLSTERING THE RETIREMENT SYSTEM.

HE IS NOT SHARING NUMBERS UNTIL A PRESS CONFERENCE AT THE A PRESS CONFERENCE AT THE CAPITOL A COUPLE HOURS FROM NOW. PUBLIC EDUCATION ADVOCATES AND OTHER DEMOCRATS WILL BE THERE, OTHER DEMOCRATS WILL BE THERE, AS WELL. THIS WOULD INCREASE PAY FOR CAFETERIA WORKERS AND NURSES TO BUS DRIVERS, AS WELL.

SLOWDOWN TO THE 174 SPLIT. >> THANK YOU. >>> STATE LAWMAKERS ARE BACK IN AUSTIN AHEAD OF THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT STARTS TODAY AT NOON. WHAT THEY DECIDE THERE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS WILL HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT FOR TEXANS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS. NBC 5'S BEN RUSSELL IS LIVE THIS MORNING WITH A LOOK AT SOME OF THE BIG DECISIONINGS LA S LAWMAKERS ARE LOOKING AT. HI THERE, BEN. >> Reporter: HI THERE, LAURA. EASILY ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS YOU COULD EXPECT TO HEAR ABOUT IN THE COMING MONTHS IS THE STATE'S SURPLUS. THE RECORD AMOUNT OF MONEY TEXAS HAS TO SPEND. AS IT STANDS NOW, THAT SURPLUS IS JUST SHY OF $33 BILLION, SOMETHING LIKE $32.7 BILLION, TO BE EXACT. THAT'S ACCORDING TO THE TEXAS COMPTROLLER, THE STATE'S TOP ACCOUNTANT. THAT'S ON TOP OF THE PROJECTED $188 BILLION IN GENERAL REVENUE FUNDING LAWMAKERS WILL GET TO DOLL OUT, ANOTHER RECORD. UNPRECEDENTED 26% INCREASE FROM WHAT THEY HAD IN TAX MONEY DURING LAST BUDGET CYCLE. MUCH MORE MONEY THAN TEXAS LAWMAKERS EVER HAD AT THEIR DISPOSAL BEFORE ACCORDING TO \"THE TEXAS TRIBUNE.\" THE NEXT QUESTION BECOMES HOW TO SPEND IT. >> FORGET THE SOCIAL ISSUES IS WHAT I'M SAYING. LET'S COME UP WITH BIPARTISAN SOLUTIONS TO FIX OUR CRUMBLING PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND INVEST IN OUR HUMAN INFRASTRUCTURE. >> OBVIOUSLY, ON A LOT OF PEOPLE'S MINDS ARE PROPERTY TAX CUTS. THE QUESTION IS HOW DO WE DO IT? >> Reporter: THERE'S SOME POTENTIAL SOLUTION. WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOES IN THE COMING MONTHS. PROPERTY TAXES WE PAY ARE A HUGE SOURCE OF STATE REVENUE. MAYBE THE BIGGEST REASON TO EXPLAIN THE RECORD MONEY TEXAS IS TAKING IN IS THERE ARE MORE TEXANS THAN EVER BEFORE. WE'VE CROSSED THE 30 MILLION PEOPLE POPULATION MARK. MORE THAN HALF OF OUR TAX DOLLARS COMES FROM SALES TAXES. THAT'S ALL THE STUFF PEOPLE ARE BUYING. AS WE SAY, THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION STARTS TODAY. IT RUNS UNTIL MAY. PERHAPS AFTER THAT, THERE WILL BE A SPECIAL SESSION. THERE WAS AT LEAST ONE LAST GO-AROUND.

GOVERNOR'S RACE IS OVER. AND BOTH CANDIDATES ARE DECLARING A WIN. >> THE DEBATE WAS ONE HOUR AND IT WAS TIGHTLY CONTROLLED. THE QUESTION TO THE RINGING BELL. THERE WAS REALLY NO TIME FOR A ONE-ON-ONE DEBATE. WE ARE THERE IN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY TONIGHT COVERING THIS DEBATE AND THE FALLOUT. JULIE, HOW ARE YOU BREAKING THIS DOWN? >> Reporter: I HAVE TO LOOK AT IT, THIS WAY. THERE WAS NO BOMBSHELLS HERE TONIGHT. IT WAS ACTUALLY VERY PREDICTABLE. BOTH STICKING TO THEIR POSITIONS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT FOUR EXCHANGES FOR YOU TONIGHT. THEY ARE ON IMMIGRATION, ABORTION, UVALDE. THE FIRST UP? IMMIGRATION. >> WHAT WE ARE DOING IS MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE KEEPING OUR COMMUNITIES SAFE. THIS IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN THINGS WOULD BE UNDER BETO O'ROURKE. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM ON THE BORDER. HE SAID THAT HE WOULD REDUCE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT. WHAT WE NEED IS A SAFE, LEGAL ORDERLY PATH. FOR SOMEONE TO COME HERE AND WORK, OR SEEK ASYLUM. IF YOU COME TO THIS COUNTRY, WE EXPECT YOU TO FOLLOW THE LAW. >> Reporter: FROM IMMIGRATION WE GO TO GUN CONTROL. AND THE MASS SHOOTING IN UVALDE . BETO O'ROURKE WAS CRITICAL ON THE RESPONSE FROM GREG ABBOTT . >> IT IS BEEN 18 WEEKS AND NOT ONE THING IS CHANGE TO MAKE IT LESS LIKELY THAT ANY OTHER CHILD WILL HAVE THIS SAME FATE. ALL WE NEED IS ACTION. THE ONLY THING STANDING IN OUR WAY IS THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF TEXAS. THERE WAS A REASON WHY THESE PARENTS ARE ANGRY. AND LIKELY, ANGRYAND I CAN FEEL THEIR PAIN. NO PARENT SHOULD LOSE A CHILD. WE WILL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN. >> JULIE, ABORTION ALSO CAME UP. THOSE RESPONSES WERE MORE EMOTIONAL TONIGHT. >> Reporter: THEY WERE AND IS NOT SURPRISING THOSE CAME UP BECAUSE THE DECISION TO OVERTURN ROVER VERSUS WADE IS A MAJOR ROLE IN THE ELECTION. LISTEN TO THIS. >> THIS ELECTION IS ABOUT REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM. IF YOU CARE ABOUT THIS YOU NEED TO TURN OUT AND VOTE. I WILL FIGHT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY WOMAN IN TEXAS CAN MAKE HER OWN DECISION ABOUT HER OWN BODY. HER OWN FUTURE AND HER OWN HEALTHCARE. HE ONLY NOT ONLY SUPPORTS ABORTION BUT A FULLY DEVELOPED CHILD. UNTIL THE VERY LAST SECOND BEFORE BIRTH. EVEN AGAINST PROVIDING MEDICAL CARE FOR A BABY THAT SURVIVES AN ABORTION. UNLIMITED ABORTION AND TAXPAYERS. >> Reporter: AND ALSO BETO O'ROURKE IS SAYING THAT IS NOT TRUE . HE SAYS THAT HE SUPPORTS THE STANDARDS THAT WERE PUT FORTH IN ROE VERSUS WADE. >> THANK YOU. MANY OF OUR VIEWERS ARE PLAYING CLOSE ATTENTION. TALKING ABOUT THE GRID. >> WHEN HE WAS CAMPAIGNING THAT THE GRID WAS GOING TO FAIL. THE WINTER, THE SUMMER, HIS CAMPAIGN HOPES FELL APART. BECAUSE THE LAWS THAT I SIGNED SECURED THE GRID. EVER SINCE I SIGNED THOSE REFORM LAWS. NO TEXAN HAS LOST POWER BECAUSE OF THE TEXAS POWER GRID. 700 LOST THEIR LIVES BECAUSE OF HIS INCOMPETENCE. AND IS INABILITY TO DO WHAT WAS NECESSARY BEFORE FEBRUARY, 2021 TO THE KICKER IS THE GREATEST IS NOT FIXED. >> Reporter: NOW I DID CATCH UP WITH A REPRESENTATIVE BETO O'ROURKE AFTER THE DEBATE. HE CAME INTO THE SPIN ROOM. AND I ASKED HIM THIS IS THE ONLY DEBATE OF THE SELECTION. AND WHAT IS NEXT FOR YOU? HE SAID HE WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE A CASE AGAINST GREG ABBOTT. WE DID NOT SPEAK TO GREG ABBOTT. BUT GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT REMAINS UP ABOUT 8 POINTS. >> JULIE, WHAT ARE THE BIG TAKEAWAYS FOR YOU TONIGHT? >> Reporter: I WAS READY FOR THAT ONE. WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT DID IT MOVE THE NEEDLE? WHAT THEY REALLY REITERATED THE POSITION THEY HAD. THEY TOOK ON ONE ANOTHER. BUT AGAIN, THESE ARE THE SAME POSITIONS THEY HAVE HAD ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN. MOVING FORWARD. HOW THEY CAN GET TO THEIR VOTERS.

The bulk of her time was spent covering politics and breaking stories during a major budget crisis. She was sent to cover the resignation of Gov. Eliot Spitzer in the state capital. After interviewing Wolf Blitzer and Tim Russert for a story on well-known Buffalo journalists, she went back to Washington to cover Russert's funeral.\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\nFrom there to Pittsburgh, where Julie won an Emmy covering the firing of legendary Penn State Coach Joe Paterno, she was the only local reporter live during the riots that followed.\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\nJulie joined NBC 5 in June 2013. As NBC 5's political reporter, it has been a very busy few years. Julie covered the 2014 Gubernatorial race and the 84th and 85th Texas legislative sessions.\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\nIn 2016 she hit the road for the Presidential election. Julie followed U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) through his run for the presidency, from Iowa until Indiana, where he suspended his campaign. She landed the first one-on-one interview with him after he ended it.\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\nThroughout the campaign, she went to Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida and all over the great state of Texas!\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\nIn her spare time, Julie is all about sports (she is from Buffalo and hope springs eternal).

IN WASHINGTON, I'M BRIE JACKSON FOR NBC NEWS. >>> EARLY VOTING ENDS FRIDAY FOR THE MARCH PRIMARY ELECTION, WHICH WILL DEFY THE ALL IMPORTANT REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS FOR STATEWIDE ELECTED OFFICES. THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS AND THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT TYLER HAVE A NEW POLL OUT, AND BOB GARRETT, THE AUSTIN BUREAU CHIEF OF THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS IS HERE TO TELL US ALL ABOUT WHAT THAT POLL SAYING. HI THERE, BOB. >> HI, LAURA. WHAT'S KIND OF THE OVERARCHING THEME YOU ALL HAVE SEEN WITH THIS NEW POLL? >> WELL, THE REASONS TO WATCH, IT LOOKS LIKE, ARE THE ATTORNEY GENERAL RACE ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE, KIM PAXTON MAY BE FORCED TO A RUNOFF. HE IS AT 39%, AND GEORGE PETE BUSH, WITH THE FAMOUS BUSH NAME IS AT 25%. ELLA GUZMAN AND CONGRESSMAN LOUIE GOHMERT ARE TRAILING PRETTY BADLY. 16% WHO ARE UNDECIDED, WHICH MEANS TO AVOID A RUNOFF, KEN PAXTON WOULD HAVE TWO OF THREE UNDECIDED VOTERS, WHICH SEEMS A TALL ORDER. THERE'S ONE OTHER REPUBLICAN PRIMARY, THAT'S STATE AGRICULTURE COMMISSIONER SID MILLER IS THE POLL FOUND, ABBOTT AT 60% AND HIS PRIMARY, O'ROURKE AT 68 %. IN THE LAST FIVE POLLS WE'VE DONE DATING BACK TO JULY, ABBOTT HAS HAD A LEAD OVER O'ROURKE OF BETWEEN 5 POINTS AND 12 POINTS, AND OUR LATEST POLL IT CAME DOWN TO 7 POINT THE S FROM 11 IN JANUARY. THIS IS ONE WE'LL BE WATCHING TO SEE WHETHER O'ROURKE CAN GET ANY MOJO TO MAKE UP THAT LAST LITTLE BIT OF DISTANCE OR WHETHER ABBOTT'S GOING TO WIN BY DOUBLE-DIGITS AGAIN. >> ONE OF THE THINGS O'ROURKE TRIED TO DO A KIND OF CROSS STATE TOUR ABOUT WAS THE POWER GRID, YOU KNOW, AND WE DID SEE THAT THE POWER GRID DID HOLD UP THIS TIME. OF COURSE NOT THE SAME TYPE OF WINTER STORM THAT WE HAD THE LAST TIME, BUT THOSE ARE KIND OF SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT TEXANS ARE REALLY LOOKING TOWARDS, THAT, ELECTION SECURITY, AND THE LIKE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. THE GRID CONSUMMATES WENT UP IN THIS POLL, FEBRUARY POLL FROM JANUARY BY EIGHT POINTS, WHILE 54% NOW SAY THEY HAVE CONFIDENCE, 41% DON'T, AND YOU KNOW, THERE'S MORE TESTS OF COLD WEATHER COMING TO AMARILLO AND DALLAS IN A FEW DAYS, SO MAYBE WE'LL BE WATCHING THAT SYSTEM AGAIN. CONFIDENCE IN ELECTIONS WENT UP FIVE POINTS TO 70% AMONG ALL VOTERS SO THIS WOULD BE AN ACCURATELY COUNTED AND SAFE ELECTION. THERE'S A COUPLE OF OTHER ISSUES THAT AFFECT THE GOVERNOR. ONE IS THIS CRITICAL RACE THEORY, HE'S BEEN DOUBLING DOWN ON BILL OF RIGHTS AND 59% JUST FROM NOVEMBER, 59% OF TEXANS THINK THAT K-12 TEACHERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO TEACH -- THAT LED TO CURRENT INEQUALITIES. SO THAT'S ONE ISSUE THAT'S BEEN GOOD FOR ABBOTT IN THE PRIMARY, BUT HE MAY PIVOT AWAY FROM. THE OTHER ONE IS THIS NATIONAL GUARD STUFF AND BORDER STUFF. HE'S GOT SUPPORT FOR SENDING THE GUARD DOWN THERE. IT'S DOWN A FEW POINTS TO 51%, THAT'S NOT AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY, AND ABOUT 53% OF VOTERS QUESTION THE WISDOM OF SPENDING BILLIONS ON THIS BORDER WALL. >> WO BOB, I DON'T KNOW WHO'S GOING TO WIN, BUT I DO KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE REALLY BUSY FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. WE'RE NOT GOING TO BOTHER YOU MUCH MORE.

CERTIFICATE NUMBER OR THE LAST FOUR DIGITS OF YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER ON BOTH THE APPLICATION AND RETURN ENVELOPE FOR THAT COMPLETED BALLOT. BUT WHICH EVER YOU USE, MUST MATCH WHAT YOU ENTERED TO VOTE OR YOUR BALLOT WILL BE REJECTED. >> YOU CAN CHOOSE ONE OF THE TWO. I RECOMMENDED TO PEOPLE JUST PUT BOTH BECAUSE IF YOU REGISTERED LET'S SAY TEN YEARS AGO AND USED YOUR SOCIAL AND YOU DON'T REMEMBER, AND RIGHT NOW YOU FILL IT OUT WITH YOUR DRIVER'S WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A MATCH. IF YOU PUT BOTH NUMBERS ON THE FORM WHATEVER YOU PUT IN, YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION FORM WHEN YOU REGISTERED SHOULD MATCH AND THERE SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM. >> Reporter: HERE'S OTHER THINGS TO REMEMBER. ELECTION OFFICIALS ARE ALSO NO LONGER ALLOWED TO SEND UNSOLICITED VOTE BY MAIL APPLICATION FORMS BY VOTERS, DRIVE THROUGH 24-HOUR VOTING ARE NO LONGER PERMITTED. SOMEONE WHO ASSISTS SOMEONE MUST SIGN A FORM DISCLOSING THE RELATIONSHIP TO THAT VOTER AND MUST ALSO RECITE AN OATH STATING THAT THEY DID NOT PRESSURE OR COERCE THE VOTER INTO CHOOSING THEM AS THEIR ASSISTANCE.
