The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: Here it comes again!, as I have predicted time and again for two decades. Midland ISD votes to sue the state over the public school finance system and justifies such with selfish half-truths and general ignorance of the fact that the courts have made clear what the outcome must be no matter how often the legislature reshuffles the deck chairs. No system reshuffle will change the equity of funding issue and, any that fixes the equity issue will mean less control for local districts and will still take from districts like Midland. You better be careful what you wish for. This is the fundamental problem with all socialist-style government programs: You must have a general equity and history shows that always means the lowest level of equity, not the top. For example, the state cannot build roads with smooth lanes for use by only people with cars registered in certain counties, the more property wealthy counties, and then require people registered in other counties to drive only on the other rough, pothole filled lanes.

Texas grants to Elon Musk’s Starlink face scrutiny – this is preposterous. Frankly all the money should go to Starlink because it immediately provides “rural broadband” for every person without such service whereas the others are long term construction build outs that may or may not actually reach customers.
