District 84 Special Election set

susan — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 11:22:20 +0000

Republicans continue to walk a fine line regarding the District 84 House seat that Carl Isett doesn’t want any more.

The good-haired Guv has now dodged accusations of his party wasting money on a special election in District 84 by waiting for the next uniform election date – which happens to be November 2nd. All this maneuvering to gain 6 weeks’ worth of “seniority” for the follower Isett hand-picked from the tea-party tree.

Carol Morgan will use all of the seniority Perry cares to dish out to good advantage for West Texas when she and Joe Heflin head for Austin and the new Democratic administration takes office.

Get ready for energy efficient appliance rebates

susan — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 02:32:21 +0000

The Texas State Energy Conservation Office (SECO) will soon offer a $23 million rebate program for Texans to replace working but inefficient appliances with ENERGY STAR models under President Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Purchases must be made from April 16 – 25, but to reserve a rebate coupon either call or go on-line and fill out an application starting on about April 2nd. Watch this page for more information about where and how to apply: http://www.seco.cpa.state.tx.us/arra/rebate/index.php#offers. Without a “reservation,” rebates won’t be guaranteed.

Seems to me that if the Comptroller of Public Accounts (shrinking-government Republican, Susan Combs) maintained adequate staffing, it might not be necessary to bid management of this program out to a private contractor. We need to keep an eye on our “small” state government and follow where the public money is really going!

Health Care/Insurance Reform

susan — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 09:41:07 +0000

Whew – one thing is sure, after talking with people at the Fair, some truth-telling about health care/health insurance reform is sorely needed on the South Plains to counteract all of the crazy talk going around. Follow this link to help explain “what is in it” for Americans of every category.

South Plains Fair ‘09

susan — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 02:01:23 +0000

Sunday was day 3 of the South Plains Fair – almost 500 balloons given away, lots of interesting conversation and supporters stopping by. It’s an exciting time to be talking with people about our agenda for positive change. Our “I Support President Obama” bumper stickers are the crowd favorite. With temperatures near 100 outside and not much cooler inside, those Bill White for Senate fans came in handy, too. Be sure to stop in the Merchant’s Building to say howdy.
