Tourism is everything to this craven idiot.
You've nailed it, FRiend. Along with his DemonRAT buddy, Clay Jenkins, the foolish Mayor Rawlings doesn't comprehend that tourism is just frivolity. Texas is serious about real business -- the energy industry for example. Focusing in smallball like chasing tourist dollars only shows the fantasy world that these mindless 'RATs live in. Tourism is a big deal for Vegas and Orlando. Texas? No way! This is is state where the economy is driven by productive enterprise -- not fluff.
