CardinalBacker Posted December 9, 2024 Report Posted December 9, 2024 Congratulations, SETX..... you just cut your own nuts off and handed them to Paxton and his cronies. But you did it for the good of the party, so I guess it's okay. Quote

Expand He and some of the other Democrats might be perturbed about missing some possible committee chairman positions. With the ongoing fight over the next speaker, we might end up with a Phelan clone. Quote

Expand Drive from BC to Orange on 87 and see if you can see anything new going on around there. Drive from Beaumont to Louisiana and see if there is any highway construction going on. Look at the GLO grants that have been sent to our area in the last 4 years. Look up the amount of grants sent our way on the criminal justice system. Quote
CardinalBacker Posted December 9, 2024 Report Posted December 9, 2024 Ok, Geniuses.... a few months ago the Speaker was the most powerful person in the House and had to be stopped. Now that he's gone and SETX as a whole will be on the back burner, y'all are going "oh, well... what can the speaker do anyway?" If the speaker was so powerless, why were y'all so anxious to see him removed? Have fun watching our priorities get ignored. Quote

Who has said that the speaker is “so powerless”? Out of the 254 counties in Texas, most are ignored if they have the speaker? Your predictions haven’t been very accurate lately but who knows, maybe your prognosticating has improved. Quote

WOSdrummer99 Posted January 5 Report Posted January 5 I hear it's cuz he thinks he's moving on up to the east side Quote
tvc184 Posted January 5 Report Posted January 5 It’s kind of interesting that all of the money that was spent on him from outside sources (I think over a million dollars for basically a local election) was to get him to win the Speaker seat again. That much money and influence didn’t come from people because of a safe Republican seat Covey’s big push (also with a lot of money behind him) as far as voters were concerned was to keep Phelan from repeating as Speaker. Although Covey didn’t win, the people who wanted Phelan out were in effect able to keep him from being the Speaker. Not directly but all of the ruckus that was raised almost surely had an effect on the Speaker race and him dropping out. Quote
