And we thought they were conservative

"Let’s take Leo Berman, firebrand conservative state rep. from House District 6 in Tyler, as the example. A story in the Tyler Morning Telegraph details how Mr. Berman, along with Senator Eltife, plans to introduce legislation for no other purpose than allowing a tax increase."

It appears that Rep. Berman and Senator Eltife have no issue with raising the hotel/motel tax to meet the needs to the spend thrift city of Tyler. Eltife the former Mayor of Tyler used to claim how he championed all good things; however, he forgets to mention that he did most of the championing on the backs of taxpayers. Eltife has always supported issues considered non-taxpayer friendly. Eltife always sided with the taxpayer funded lobbyist organizations like the TASB, TAC, and his favorite the TML. Go figure this senator to be a conservative just not of the fiscal nature!
