Charles Butt, the Texas billionaire magnate behind the H-E-B supermarket chain which forbid the open carry of firearms law that went into effect January 1, 2016, opposes school choice, funds anti-school choice lobbyists, and is even credited for his role in killing a 2011 state bill banning “sanctuary cities.”

Mr. Butt, “fil et pere”, were both on Rick Perry’s list of 88 close personal “friends” he gee’d and hawed to on policy ... hence the SPP (”NAFTA”) Superhighway and multimodal China-to-WallyWorld, US-coolie-no-looksee trade corridor, the toll road push (peasants pay-to-work plan, our punishment for defeating income taxes), unlimited Mexican immigration, and the rest of the Rick Perry “conservative” program.

Hate to be a Net nanny, but the expression is “SET foot in” a place , not “step foot in” ... drives me crazy, like “HONE in on” (instead of correct “HOME in”), or “POUR over his books” not “pore over” which is correct.
