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!
