The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: Should the State of Texas be in the gambling business? The Texas Lottery contributes very little to public education despite being sold to the public as a big funding mechanism for much. I believe that the social costs of the lottery far outweigh any benefits and that it should be recommended for closure by the Sunset process – but don’t place a bet that it will be as too many profit from it.
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.
National media has picked up on the Texas Voter ID story I have been covering (listen to yesterday’s show here) and frankly it is clear that the elections director should be removed for being so stupid as to not advise the use of a provisional ballot in the cases at the root of the controversy.
A big story showing just how radical are today’s Texas Democrats – they are anti-American revolutionaries, or at least their front groups often are.
