Texas government: April 2011
http://texasgovernmentbykat.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 28, 2011. But that's not the primary concern. The main problem is the time constraint they are facing with only 31 days left. Obviously the budget proposal is the necessary motive for these sessions, but debt is a simultaneous deterrent at the time also. If the members don't reach a consensus in time it'll lead to a special session. Friday, April 15, 2011. I decided to comment on your post. But another option to consider is how reponsible people seeking their concealed weapon lincense wou...

Becca's Moderate View on Tx Govt. Friday, May 6, 2011. I'd say the MetroRail is inching along. As Surid Kaphle mentions in his blog " A Great Citizen. Although the amount of passengers increased during SXSW, it still was not that useful. The last train left downtown at 11:30pm. I think that the MetroRail has great potential, and will be successful, eventually. Austin needs to dedicate more time and money to make it useful to a larger percentage of the population.

Becca's Moderate View on Tx Govt. Friday, March 11, 2011. We aren't forcing you to lay people off. As the Legislative Session continues, the arguments about Educational Budget Cuts heats up more and more. Charles Kuffner singles out Perry's statement claiming that the State Government isn't forcing any layoffs, that decision is made at the local level. Wouldn't you stand up to critics saying that this is what the community of Texas asked for? Becca's Moderate View on TX Govt. Blue Oasis in a Big Red State.

Cowboys vs. Politics: March 2011
http://cowboysvspolitics.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Cowboys vs. Politics. Friday, March 11, 2011. The recent bill that forces women to have a sonogram prior to abortion is a terrible invasion; however, this. Post by Rachel Farris of Mean Rachel.com turns the focus onto an issue that seems to have greater importance. In reality, this post is geared more to those of a liberal view, but I would hope that it would bring attention to what is happening now, instead of what hasn't happened yet and perhaps sway some opinions. We have children who need help now, a...

Texas Chitchat: April 2011
http://texaschitchat.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 29, 2011. In Texas when you have a license to carry a gun, you are required to keep it concealed, but that could soon change. The open-carry bill. Has been gaining some major traction, and now has plans to go to the full house. This bill has been gaining some ground, but I don't think that it is necessary. If someone has to carry a gun it shouldn't be a problem for them to conceal it. I can't think of any reason that someone would need to carry a gun out in the open. Friday, April 15, 2011.

Texas Chitchat: Yes To Drug Testing!!!
http://texaschitchat.blogspot.com/2011/04/yes-to-drug-testing.html
Friday, April 15, 2011. Yes To Drug Testing! In a blog posted on the Texas Republic Times. Titled Drug Testing, the author speaks on House Bill 126. This is a bill that would require those filing for unemployment to pass a drug test before they can receive any of those benefits. Though some valid points are made, and it definitely does seem that the main point of this bill is to try and save the government money, I agree with the bill. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Texas Chitchat: May 2011
http://texaschitchat.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 13, 2011. In the blog "Texas State and Local Government", Ross McEwen posted an entry titled "Drinking Age". That should have been a controlled environment. It didn't do anyone any good, it left kids with brain damage, broken bones, and partial blindness. We should all just be grateful that no one died. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Kelsey Scott's Texas Government Blog: What's the Difference between 18 and 21?
http://kscottgovernmentblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/whats-difference-between-18-and-21.html
Kelsey Scott's Texas Government Blog. Friday, May 13, 2011. What's the Difference between 18 and 21? An age is yet a number right? Not quite when you’re teetering between 20 and 21. For Americans, one of the most monumental birthdays someone will have is their 21. They are legally able to drink. If you were to go to any other country, you would find that a 21. Birthday isn’t anything special. Other countries allow a citizen to drink once they turn 18. That makes sense though right? There is a plus side t...

Kelsey Scott's Texas Government Blog: New Task Force Out and About

Kelsey Scott's Texas Government Blog. Friday, April 29, 2011. New Task Force Out and About. What is it but a number right? No, it is the age that most Americans cherish because they are finally allowed to drink legally. The key word here is LEGALLY. If you are between 15 and 20 you have most likely drank illegally before. Since this is a reoccurring situation, the Travis County Police Department has taken it upon themselves to create a special task force. To take down underage drinking. We have so many o...
