It just won’t die: Osborne touts “visitor center” for Lubbock; why not reinstall phone booths too!? – Pratt on Texas 7/31/2024

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: Politicians dig in deeper on CenterPoint Energy and its alleged poor performance after the last hurricane to hit Houston. There is much too this story and a big part of what is missed is the problem of non-competitive government sanctioned monopolies; the PUC and the type of people appointed to it, and; the pass-through cost system all tied up in utility regulation.

Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.

The “weird” campaign of 2024 and Democrat hypocrisy on “Democracy!”

They’re back again in Lubbock: Same overfunded people claiming the city needs a Visitor Center and justifying such by how many visitors are coming regularly. If they already come then why do you need a glorified free bathroom facility for them? They’re already there! It’s like spending big money to reinstall payphone boxes all over town.

Houston’s closed-case police scandal shows what you get when you run government with identity politics, or DEI. It also shows why all bureaucracies need constant watching, monitoring, and auditing.
