Texas Hemp Industry's Plea: A Single Phone Call Could Save 53,000 Jobs

Texas Hemp Industry Faces Uncertain Future as Bill Awaits Governor's Decision The Texas hemp industry is facing an uncertain future as Senate Bill 3 awaits Governor Greg Abbott's decision. The bill, if passed, could severely impact the industry and its 53,000 employees. A recent video by Lucas of Hometown Hero has gone viral, directly appealing to Jeff Yass, the Governor's largest donor, to intervene and veto the bill. "I’m hoping this message reaches Jeff Yass," Lucas states in the video. "Mr. Yass is the single largest donor to the Texas Governor and could save this industry with a single phone call." He further emphasizes the industry's contribution to the state and the potential job losses if SB3 is enacted. The video highlights the economic significance of the hemp industry in Texas, showcasing its positive contribution to the state's economy. The call to action is clear: prevent the passage of SB3 to protect jobs and a thriving industry. The outcome of Governor Abbott’s decision will have significant implications for the future of hemp cultivation and processing in Texas. The situation underscores the influence of large political donors and the potential consequences of legislation on established industries. The video serves as a powerful illustration of the concerns of those involved in the hemp industry and their hopes for a positive resolution.
