A letter was sent to every Senator and Representative in the state of Texas. Below are the responses.

 Yes, count me in!

I support the elimination of the cap on sporting goods tax and letting the Texas Parks & Wildlife Dept. utilize this money to repair and operate all 114 parks, including the Texas State Railroad, which have fallen into a state of disrepair.

Furthermore, I would like to see Texas Parks & Wildlife Dept. begin work on the Water and Land Conservation Plan which will add four new parks and 5,000 acres to meet the growing needs of Texans.

Sincerely,

Senator Kevin Eltife, District 1, Austin
