today we see texas doing the same. so understanding that, yes, this is happening on the local level, but it is bigger, is part of a much bigger constellation of federal-level laws that have not worked for us, and that while we work to change what is going on in our local levels, we can't lose our eye on what is going on in d.c. with that i am going to turn it over to our expert panel which we are lucky to have this morning. let me briefly introduce each of them and then we're going to start the conversation. to my immediate left is texas state representative rafael allencia, chair of the mexican american legal caucus. his dallas district is just a little bit off of where we stand today. next we have harris county sheriff ed gonzalez. miss elena moreno, a staff attorney at malda. mr. gabriel sandoval, partner of a law firm coke focusing on issues related to immigration at the local level, also former senior counsel in the office of civil rights in the obama administration. next we have supervisor steve gallardo from mar

as much as texas tea refineries or cap -- texas tea kept refineries busy, it was not going to be enough to supply this dawning hydrocarbon age in america, a freeway society where everyone wants an automobile to drive to their suburban homes. more fuel is needed. these powerbrokers will start looking abroad in earnest. this is something that has been happening up to this point and really in the mid-40's it becomes much more urgent. as oil strategists look ahead, they feel that the depletion of reserves was approaching peak oil. we talk about this concept it , becomes well articulated in the 1950's when a geologist frames the theory of peak oil, saying that american oil reserves were going to collapse by 1970, forcing the country into a difficult situation. this kind of apocalyptic fear of american losing its oil sources going to drive exploration abroad. driven by fear but also optimism. the so-called seven sisters pictured on the top right, which included five major u.s. oil companies, texaco, gulf, standard oil of california, chevron, exxon, and standard new york, mobil. they all turne

you said in your testimony what you provided us in your testimony that texas -- of course, texas has just concluded its legislative session, is that correct? and texas is the legislative session is every two years. so your budget is now set until the next legislative session in 2019, is that correct? >> that is correct, and there were some assumptions made by the finance committees that are there in the texas house and texas senate and the budget committees in the house and senate and there were some assumptions made that the funding for state insurance health insurance program would, in fact, continue until 2019, is that correct? >> yes. with the 23% additional bump. so changes that we make now come after the fact for what your state senators and state representatives assume to be what was going to be available for snem to include in their budget and any changes we have now would have a significant effect on the state budget that has already been passed and i believe signed into law, is that correct? >> exactly and $800 million impact over the biennium. so i understand the importanc

t every two years they fighth request texas legislature to raise payments for the medicaid system but the reality is, there's not enough money to go around. even though it is the number one or number two budget item in the texas legislature budget every year. and it is growing so past it is crowding out everything from higher education to law enforcement and other priorities. across the country medicaid spending has ballooned out of control. in texas 25% of the states budget as i deathed dedicated to this program. 25% of its overall budget usually number one or two, so we have to be honest with ourselves in the people we represent that this situation is not sustainable. and we owe to it people to make sure people who really need it, the fragile elderly, disabled, adults and children that it is there for them. not only now but in the future. that's why we've been discussing ways we might strengthen the sustainability of medicaid and ensure that family who is actually immediate it can rely on it.ve and they don't have the rug pulled out from under them but this requires doing some hard

texas has historically operated c.h.i.p. as a separate program, which has afford texas the freedom to design a system that alliance with the state's philosophy of ensuring accountability in the management of public funds and increasing personal responsibility for program participants. unlike the medicaid program, which offers an extensive and prescriptive medical benefit for children, c.h.i.p. regulations offer states flexibility to tailor the benefit package to meet the unique needs of the population served. this allows c.h.i.p. to function as a nimble program that is more easily able to respond to changes in the state's fiscal outlook, emerging federal legislation, as well as the evolving needs of beneficiaries. since the onset of the program, texas has delivered c.h.i.p. services through a managed care model. the state currently contracts with 17 managed care organizations, delivering services to c.h.i.p. members statewide. the managed care delivery system offers additional advantageous, as mcos are incentivized through a

and what's the result in the great state of texas? texas consistently ranks in the bottom three, sometimes last in voter participation, election after election. so many people are disenfranchised. so many people have decided or been kept from going to vote. i think it's also important to realize that there are other measures that they're likely to take on this trump commission to disenfranchise voters. let me give you an example from 2011, i believe, in texas that didn't get as much attention as voter i.d., but i think is just as pernicious in our efforts to get people out to vote. so what the texas legislature did back then, it used to be if you were going in to register people to vote in texas you only had to be deputized to register people in-- you could be deputized across the state, in other words, you just needed to get deputized in one place in texas. they changed the law so if you want to register voter you had to get registered in each of the 254 counties. in other words, you had to get registered for every county that you we
