Thank you so much for this accurate portrayal of the Senate Resolution Committee meeting. Your criticism is spot on of Gio Caprilione and his thin skinned and humorless attorney. We can't abide Gio any longer as our representative. Looking forward to 2026 elections.

his tweet notes salary "commiserate" not "commensurate" with experience...... guess he has never hired anyone before. And is the salary that low that we would need to commiserate? Agreed that a single rep has ZERO mandate to DOGE doodley-squat. At the State level this should be run by the EXECUTIVE branch aka The Governor's office........ As far as I know, House Committees hear bills that get referred to them. Do they do anything else? Commissions like the Sunset Commission look into sunsetting agencies - I mean, they have some DOGE capabilities because they can eliminate or combine bureaucratic agencies the legislature created.........

Well done. It will be a joyful day when Burrows and all of his other RINO supporters all get banned from appearing on the Republican primary ballots during the coming CLOSED primaries.

By the way, I was at the meeting with a friend who is a precinct chair. Your advice to the committee was also spot on.

Are there real audits done on Texas State spending? "Real" meaning receiver of state $$ is qualified to receive the $$? FedGov has not passed a budget and has pushed block grants to third party that disburses within guidance....very vulnerable to fraud.
