Why reinvent the TX Education Code when "choice" has been available for 20+ years?

It’s NOT about “choice” Just like the “affordable” healthcare act wasn’t affordable; school “choice” is NOT about choice. PARENTAL CHOICE is, and has been, in the Texas Education Code since at least 1995, allowing for a student to transfer to another campus within a school district, to another school district, to another county, and even to a district in another state (for districts bordering…

Should Texans Support Psychiatric Assessments of Children in our Local Elementary Schools (SB10)?

Should Texans Support Psychiatric Assessments of Children in our Local Elementary Schools (SB10)?

I first read SB 10 in January this year, to prepare for a presentation to a north Texas group on how to read the thousands of bills that our state legislature introduces. I chose SB10 because, as I always do every year that our legislature is in session, I try to read all the bills that my House Rep. and Senator file.  In January the only bill that either of my legislators had authored was that…

Gov. Abbott’s School Safety Priority, Gone Wrong

Gov. Abbott’s School Safety Priority, Gone Wrong

We all remember something about the heinous shooting at Santa Fe High School last year.   Gov.

Jane Nelson, this legislative session.  Abbott intends “to address mental health in our schools” and “partner with school districts … to identify and…

Term Limits? A republic if you can keep it.

Term Limits? A republic if you can keep it.

If your political involvement supports term limits in this country, then you’re able to grasp this… Let’s take Congress as an example: Term limits would extend the Lame Duck Session from 2 months to 2 years in the House, and from 2 months to 6 years in the Senate. How? (more…)

Desperate Lies of ConCon proponents Exposed

Desperate Lies of ConCon proponents Exposed

Tell a lie often enough, it becomes the truth… that’s the strategy in the playbook of the ConCon proponents selling legislators and voters the idea that the U.S. constitution is broken, and amending it will fix the federal body. One such group – State Legislators Article V Caucus – speaks for a handful of pro-ConCon political action groups, including Convention of States (COS), and Balanced…

TOLLS ARE A TAX The solution…RAISE THE GAS TAX, INSTEAD For decades, the TX Legislature (and the federal government’s RTC – Regional Transportation Council) have cried that they MUST sellout our public roads to foreign owned companies who build toll roads and charge us by the mile into perpetuity to travel across metropolitan areas in Texas.

The Irony – A Con Con Could Suspend Rules Too?

The Irony – A Con Con Could Suspend Rules Too?

Last Thursday House Rep. Briscoe Cain, a freshman, objected to a House floor motion to suspend the Rules that notice be posted for 5 days prior to a bill being heard in a committee hearing (HJR 56). The irony! I bet Rep. Cain is starting to understand how politics is conducted – notwithstanding the “rules”.  Rep. Cain is author and coauthor of no less than 3 bills that support an Article V…
