Dregs: Gilbert, CHIP and Clean Air
Hank Gilbert is planning a rally in in Austin on March 2nd as part of the Don't Tag Texas campaign. We'll have details as they become available but for now, make sure you're going to be here that day! Win, lose to draw, Hank keeps his promises which is one of the reason we supported him during the general election and continue to support him today!
Matt Glazer has a post up about Democratic efforts to restore full funding to CHIP. Vince at Capitol Annex some information us as well. I don't have children so it's kinda hard for me to go anywhere with this. At least, anywhere that won't piss off those of you who do have children.
Rep. Ana Hernandez has filed a bill to establish enforceable standards for clean air in Texas. The next step is forcing TCEQ to actually, you know, enforce them. Just look at the lulu's they give to coal burning power plants now. This is great work, Representative... however, you gotta have agency oversight for it to work!
Next up are comments made by Phil King and others regarding clean air, as well as a review of a wonderful new film titled "TXU goes to Washington", which is about a stodgy old company, eager to remake the world... and change Washington. It's Capra-esque only in the sense that it takes place in Washington. It actually borrows from both Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and It's A Wonderful Life and combines the best both in that it's Mr. Potter (TXU) who goes to Washington (Washington)
