Lubbock Democratic Party

Texas’ next Governor, Bill White will be in Lubbock on April 29.

See him at 12 noon in the Senate Room of the Texas Tech Student Union.

See you there.

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!
