On this week's edition of WFAA-TV's Inside Texas Politics with host Jason Whitely, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Bud Kennedy and Tribune Executive Editor Ross Ramsey, Jason opens the show with an interview with Gov. Greg Abbott. They discuss local vs. state control, what he'll do if the Legislature sends him a texting while driving bill, his push for greater transparency in state government and increased funding for border security.

Also: Ross and Jason talk tax cuts and local control; a conservative commenter makes his case against pre-K; state Rep. Jason Villalba, R-Dallas, defends his widely-panned bill that makes it a misdemeanor to photograph police closer than 15 feet; Longview state Rep. David Simpson's proposal to legalize marijuana is debated from the left and right; and in the Reporters' Roundtable segment, Jason, Bud and Ross talk about open and campus carry, state Rep. Rafael Anchia, R-Dallas and his effort to kill the Trinity Toll Road, the potential political fallout for Villalba and Simpson; and more.
