The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: New Speaker of the House, Dustin BurrowCrat, delays House Rules vote until 22 January – the longest delay since the first illegitimate speaker, Joe Straus, came into office the first time. Good or bad? Time will tell but the biggest problem we have faced each session is the House not getting to work early.
Burrows has earned the BurrowCrat moniker by losing his own party’s vote for speaker and yet winning with a large number of Democrats. Burrows won the gavel with the support of only 36 Republicans and 49 Democrats making him illegitimate as a “Republican” speaker. See how every member of the House voted on each ballot here.
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.
As predicted here, the Nate Paul criminal conspiracy stuff supposedly involving Ken Paxton comes to nothing. The feds never had anything except the standard misstatement to a lender for loans.
