We’ve had too many Yankees moving down here to turn us into a blue state!

Must be a conspiracy of some kind—LOOL!

Overton, a small town near Tyler, isn't exactly Austin or the Oak Lawn and Uptown districts of Dallas. Here are the local officials:

Mayor: C.R. Evans Jr.

City Council: John Edd Welch, Philip Cox, Pat Beets, Jerry Clark, John Posey

City Manager: Charles Cunningham

City Attorney: Blake Thompson

City Secretary: Rachel Gafford

Police Chief: Clyde Carter

Fire Chief: Greg Wall

Finance Director: Pam Raney

The names hardly seem like those of recent transplants from New Jersey or some such bastion of Yankeedom. The local representatives to both houses of the Legislature and Congress are Republicans.

A quick Google search shows this story to have reached media outlets as far away as New York and London. It looks like the local Boss Hoggs are about to be hit by a media firestorm they don't want. To Texas officials who get overzealous in enforcing laws, remember the fate of Tulia.
