Sen. Donna Campbell Says "Bathroom Bill" Needed to Keep Texas a "Beacon of Hope"

[TexasTowelie]

Senator Donna Campbell, R-New Braunfels, who represents portions of San Antonio, said she isn’t worried about the prospect of the Alamo City losing the 2018 Final Four if the Legislature passes an anti-transgender “bathroom bill” next year.

The NCAA recently moved the 2017 edition of its Final Four men’s basketball championship out of Charlotte in response to North Carolina’s anti-LGBT House Bill 2. Nevertheless, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick has made a similar bill one of his top priorities for 2017.

During a panel discussion about San Antonio issues in the Legislature hosted by the Texas Tribune on Friday, Campbell expressed support for Patrick’s proposal and dismissed concerns about potential economic backlash. San Antonio officials estimate the 2018 Final Four will bring in $75 million to the city.

“I’d like to see Texas values not hijacked for the sake of football, basketball,” Campbell said, adding that while the state has the 10th-largest economy in the world, that’s not because of one event.
