Texas is a different sort of critter. You have to explain that the Governor can't pardon anyone without permission, the Lt. Governor holds real power in the state, and the RR Commissioner in Texas controls gas and 'lektrikity... ;)

And that’s just on the state level. Then you have all the jurisdictional issues involving the split between cities and counties. And then there is the all powerful TXDOT. My son lives three miles from me but he is now in the city and I, thankfully, am still in the County for maybe three more years.

Remember when Perry was running for President and the MSM would begin talking about politics in Texas - they just didn’t have a clue.

Re the Lt. Governor - sure hope we can uproot Dewhurst. David Patterson - who is running against Dewhurst - strongly favors more green cards and work visas for illegals, as does Abbott who is running for Governor. Should prove interesting to say the least.

One of my current campaigns is to push for a NO vote on the State Amendment on the reverse mortgage issue. Sounds good on paper but, as with many other issues, Austin politicians failed to do due diligence and we are being asked to support an amendment of a program which is likely to undergo major changes in October if the Washington Senate ever gets around to voting on it.
