AUSTIN - Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick issued this statement today following the filing of Senate Bills 18 and 19, by Senator Kel Seliger, (R - Amarillo):

'Senate Bills 18 and 19 are critical to ensure higher education tuition and fees do not continue to outpace what hardworking Texans earn. Making college more affordable for all Texans continues to be one of my top priorities this Legislative Session.
