Pratt on Texas

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: The Texas Houses Speaker race now appears to be an effort by the upper-echelon of wealthy lobbyists to save Dave Phelan as speaker which begs the question: What’s in it for them?
Mike Toomey, an elite huge money lobbyist, is very competent but reading this story, one is forced to wonder how it goes without notice that all these things only need reform because Dade Phelan has done the opposite as speaker. Why re-elect the guy who failed and is suddenly now going to implement the changes that most have known were needed, including Toomey, for some time?
Former Phelan ally Trent Ashby endorses David Cook for speaker.
Texas House Democrats snub TMF and elect Gene “Boo-Hoo” Wu as caucus chairman in a notable swing leftwards. Wu is someone who needs very close scrutiny but seems a perfect representation of today’s pro-Chinese communist Democrat Party.
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.

Lt. Gov. Patrick and Sen. Charles Perry to lead effort to ban all THC from sale in Texas.
