I’ve heard from a few people in the district tonight that Henry Bonillia’s campaign is running push-polls tonight and talking up Bonillia and talking down all of those who are opposing him.

Texas has some of the poorest counties in the nation and continues to have the highest rate of uninsured individuals. But it also has cities with some of the largest household incomes in the country, according to [...]

The Republican Party (nationally) now has a great excuse to not give Shelley Sekula-Gibbs that promised $3 million dollars, which—let’s face it—only about five people in the entire state thought would materialize anyway.

Kevin Brady and Roy Blunt were blowing some pretty serious smoke up the rear ends of the folks in Hardin County last week, according to the Hardin County News.

A few weeks ago, the Governor’s office and the Texas General Land Office were adamantly denying any plans to sell any park lands whatsoever. This was all during the furor surrounding the possible sale of lands in the Black Gap Wildlife Management Area.
