Stop me if you've heard this one before
Senator Nichols and Senator Carona walk into a bar with some guy from Zachry. They immediately make a deal with the owner to take a cover at the door in exchange for a large cash payment up front. They then start collecting a pretty high cover at the door and soon the owner realizes that the payment he took up front doesn't really make up for the lost business. Worse, the agreement he signed states that he has to pay THEM in the event that there aren't enough people willing to pay the cover.
OK, so it's not a really funny joke but it's pretty close to what's going on in the Lege with privatization. SB's 17 and 404 come to the House today for (what we hope) will be a one time only performance. We also hope they'll be booed out by the members. Or, at least, the House Democrats.
Because I want to beat the hell out of the Republicans with this vote next year. Feel free to contact your Rep and ask them to vote no...
512-463-4630 and ask for your State Representative OR email them at firstname.lastname@house.state.tx.us
And yes, for those of you in the Lege, this DOES override the privatization moratorium. Forget what you've heard from Senators Nichols and Carona.
