It's not a hoax when you run out of money when you go to pay your bills.

Property taxes have gone up 54% while Greg Abbott 's been in office. That's a problem if you rent or own your home. Home prices have gone up 89%, while a server's wage remains $2.13/hr and minimum wage is stuck at $7.25/hr.

Now he wants to raise your sales taxes. Even Dan Patrick disagrees.

Dyson sponsored and voted for a $1 billion private-school voucher program while serving as a trustee of a private school participating in the voucher program.

Texans have every right to ask whose interests are being served.

Fully fund public schools. Pay teachers top salaries

And cover all ISD employees under TRS and social security - like we do the TAMU employees.

Academic freedom—to teach, research, publish, and discuss without political interference—is foundational to higher education.

SB 37, backed by Gov. Abbott, Lt. Gov. Patrick, and Rep. Dyson, threatens First Amendment protections and invites political interference that chills scholarship.

It also creates compliance risk for research universities,

34 CFR 75.500(b)(1) recognizes academic freedom as part of First Amendment compliance and as a material condition of covered federal grants.

Don’t let politics devalue—and defund—our top-tier research.

For the past 100 years, oil & gas’s the engine that runs our economy here in Texas, but now we've got 2 water crises here in Texas: too much "produced water" contaminating our groundwater - and - not enough water to drink.

From produced water to data centers, we need guardrails in place before state politicians squander what we need to live – in exchange for their campaign war-chest.

Let's use drinkable water for drinking & require data centers to use recycled produced water - or greywater - for their cooling & energy generation needs.

There's truth in the adage: "When you have your health, you have everything."

So why does Greg Abbott refuse to allow the money we've already paid to the federal government to come home to Texas to pay for healthcare? IRS doesn't discount our income tax.

Before Trump's Big Bad Bill's cuts, Texas only covered pregnant women, children, the patiently disabled, & very elderly-low-income people.

Expanding the pool lowers the cost for all of us. - and is a lifeline for keeping our rural hospitals open.

Too many families are being taxed as if their homes were investment properties. In Bryan and College Station, investor-driven rental pricing can distort homeowner appraisals and drive up tax burdens.

I’m standing with the families who live in these neighborhoods, not the market forces that turn homes into yield calculations.

When investor pricing distorts homeowner tax values, government should fix the appraisal model — not expect families to absorb the cost.

But first, we need to close the loopholes that let corporations skate on their fair share.

"If I can step accross the line into New Mexico and legally buy a $25 bag of gummies, I should not be a criminal one mile later.

Decriminalize, Legalize, Regulate and TAX adult-use THC. In the enabling legislation, direct the revenue to public schools, healthcare, housing and real property tax reform.

As a governmental CPA, fixing corruption is something I've been doing for over 40 years.

Get politicians out of billionaires' back pockets. Limit contributions, limit terms in office, strengthen ethics rules and put teeth behind those laws.

For forward action to happen, we need majority and ethical statewide leadership. We all need to work together .

Texans believe in law and order. We also believe government should show its face, follow the law, and answer for its actions.

Families deserve to feel safe in their neighborhoods. They should not have to wonder whether masked, armed agents in unmarked vehicles are going to tear through their streets, stop people without clear identification, or leave families scrambling for answers. That is not the kind of public safety Texans believe in.

Hannah Rapp’s death should move Texas to act.

Texas has considered Safe Passing legislation before, but it has still not become statewide law. I support passing a strong Safe Passing law with clear, enforceable standards to protect cyclists and other vulnerable road users, including stronger protections around large and commercial vehicles.

I also support reviewing Texas law to strengthen repeat offender protections when a defendant has a documented pattern of dangerous conduct. Courts should have better tools to protect the public and take repeated dangerous behavior seriously.

This is a matter of public safety, accountability, and basic respect for human life. Texans should not have to accept preventable tragedy as the cost of using our roads.
