From rivardinsa: Gov. Greg Abbott's veto of House Bill 4759 struck me as particularly cruel and insensitive. I wonder how widow Janie Najera took the news that Abbott vetoed what was better known as the Ramon Najera Act in remembrance of her husband.
as he killed 77 bills before a Sunday deadline last week. Even longtime state government watchers seemed befuddled by the growing standoff between Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and how it might play out from here.Success! You're on the list.
Najera, 75, took the news last week that Abbott vetoed what was better known as the Ramon Najera Act in remembrance of her husband, an 81-year-old Air Force veteran who was fatally mauled by two unleashed pit bull mixes on a Westside street in February. While it’s true that the pit bull owners, Christian Alexander Moreno and his wife, Abilene Schnieder, were both jailed on, the proposed legislation would have strengthened criminal penalties for repeated dog attacks and allowed individuals to confidentially report vicious dogs to animal control authorities without fear of retaliation by the owners.
