before it a bill

<http://www.senate.state.tx.us/75r/senate/members/dist16/dist16.htm> , 
to require the state to consider open source and open standards as part 
of the acquisition of software. Texas, like many other states, has a 
budget crisis <http://www.cpa.state.tx.us/news/newrel.html> going on. If 
this passes, I believe it could help the state save a lot of money.

and senators 
<http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/cgi-bin/db2www/tlo/members/senate.d2w/report?LEG=78&SESS=R&CHAMBER=S&CTYPE=Senate> 
know they want this to pass."
