Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush has been out of the state or otherwise off of work nearly half of the time since his father entered the GOP race for president, records show, raising questions about whether the scion is fulfilling his pledge to remain focused on his first elected office.
Personal time - both related to the presidential race and for other reasons - took the commissioner away for the equivalent of 23 of the first 50 work days after father Jeb Bush announced his bid on June 15, according to a Houston Chronicle analysis of records obtained under the Public Information Act. The total includes 15 full days off and dozens of smaller chunks of time off on other work days that add up to eight more days.
It is impossible to tell exactly how much of the time off was spent campaigning, because the commissioner's official calendar does not say what he did in those hours. Social media posts indicate he spent a significant amount of it on the trail, however, speaking at his father's announcement in Florida, publicly stumping for him in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, headlining a fundraiser in Texas and attending a campaign staff retreat in Maine.

Note that in my post 15, I am responding to Jimbo123 in post 12.
In post 12 he provided the link I just provided to you.
That’s where I saw what caused me to respond the way I did in post 15.
Ping.
If a clerk in his office took that much time, he’d be fired. George better enjoy his tax payer paid salary now because he won’t be getting it after the next election. Sadly, he just started his four year term so it will be a while before we can get rid of him. No More Bushes!
He has his daddy’s crossed eyes, slack jaw and all around idiot appearance. Despite being married, there’s a waft of fairy dust surrounding him.
W was a breath of fresh air his first term but he had a severe case of invasion of the lib body snatchers his second term. After they left the WH, Laura’s true belief system came out and papa adopted Clinton.
Maybe he should resign
George P won’t resign. And he won’t refund 50% of his state salary to pay back the Texas taxpayers he’s ripping off by not showing up to work. Because he’s entitled.
