Voter ID law may create turmoil
- pure speculation. I've judged many elections in poverty-stricken and

Social promotion continues in Texas schools
- why we need more accountability and not less. They did this to me, had we

division but, they put me in honors math in High School and just passed me
through! It was NOT a favor but a big liability in business. Test and
measure or else even more of our money will be thrown down a the rat hole of
big spending public education. |

Failed experiment into politics leaves Lubbock
man's name on Ethics Commission's blacklist
- it doesn't matter if you consider a campaign serious or not, it is a
campaign and falls under laws set to keep transparency. The fine he was
issued was not final, he could have easily requested a hearing with the
Ethics Commission and likely it would have been reduced to a hundred bucks
or swept away completely - there's not guarantee but, there is nothing here
indicating that he even attempted to handle the matter. |
|
Group: Texas lobbyists paid up to $345M last
year - it just demonstrates that
gov't is too large and involved. If gov't played a lesser role in our lives,
there would be less paid to it for lobbying. |
