The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: Several “cost of housing” bills are being worked through the legislature and each deserves scrutiny. One, SB15 that has already passed the Senate, prompted this frightening headline: Why Do I Feel Like I’m Back in New Jersey?

Carole Spencer joins us to give very informed opinion on SB15 and other related bills.
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.
