[74-911]

Don,
That bill is just a minor example of the moronic bills passsed (or not passed) by the confederacy of dunces which run things here in the great state of TX.

Property taxes are are out of sight, public school funding is grossly inadequate and so complex no one even understands it, Child Protective Service and the Foster Care System were deemed cruel and unusual punishment they are so underfunded... and on and on an nauseum.

yet...

the Lt. gov. here sets the legislative agenda and his #1 priority this session which just ended was passing a bathroom bill re: N. Carolinas... he continually stated the overwhelming majority of Texans want this bill passed but all the polls say no we don't, it isn't even on most peoples radar. It didn't pass but the gov. has called for a special session in which they will try again.

I could rant on forever about our current state government but the issue that is really disconcerting is the laws they passed this session which eliminate local control of issues. They ***** constantly about the feds interfering with the state but think nothing of the state interfering with local gov. issues (particularly when lobbyists can throw enough money at them).. end of semi-rant.
