The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: Rep. Charlie Geren’s House Admin. committee finally gets around to voting to fine House Democrats who broke quorum last summer. But wait, there’s more: They don’t owe it until officially served with notice of the vote and given how long it has taken to get the vote, who knows how long that might take. Even if quickly, Dems may not pay with personal funds rendering the penalty much ado about nothing. In responding BooHoo Wu qualifies as a Captain Obvious contestant.
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.
Another edition of Talarico Tales: Little Jimmy “The Creep” Talarico says that police in schools enhances a culture of violence; sought to force hiring of 4 social worker counselors for every one police officer at a public school campus. This guy is not just a nutjob, he’s the whole fruit basket of crazy.
Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals declares 158-year-old U.S. home distilling ban unconstitutional. It’s a panel of the court and the decision may be appealed. It only applies to states, like Texas, that are in the 5th Circuit at present so I’d wait a bit before firing up that still at home.
