Brian Harrison, the Republican representative from Texas, on Wednesday asked Greg Abbott, the Governor of Texas, to limit the power of Gina Hinajosa, the elected governor, before her inauguration. Harrison stated, "We still have full power in Texas and we must use this power to restore the separation of powers and limit Hinajosa's authority." This request from Harrison comes as he pointed out the remaining ten weeks until the inauguration, stressing that this time could be used as an opportunity for effective action.
