Excellent review. It might be worth mentioning an addition to the list of critical issues legislatively ignored: the upcoming power grid stress, if not failures, due to severe weather. I fear the lack of water and the abundance of heat will wither the bloom off our independently Texan lily. But the good news is climate change is a hoax, right?
Things have changed, and not for the better, since I worked as a volunteer legislative advocate for a nonprofit in the 70th Session. Most Texans were represented by someone generally respected by colleagues and staffers. And we had some giants among them.
A small group of us were meeting with Speaker Gib Lewis in his office. It struck me odd at the time that he would feel the need to make a false statement to us knowing that we knew the statement to be false. Flexing for flexing's sake? Of course, I doubt that many subsequent speakers would have invited that same group.

Always enjoy reading you newsletter. But my favorite part is the moment of Zen picture. Politics will be hard to stomach over the next 4 years.
