Texas Lawmakers are shady





Yep, looks like politicians are taking the initiative for their fellow voters, and saving them the trouble of making their own decisions, by imposing their own decisions for them. Not only is against the rules, but it's ignored and widely practiced.

Hooray for democracy.

I like their attitude. "One man, one vote. I am the man, I have the vote." That's how I'd run a democracy.

About a year ago, the Texas government (or whatever you call it) passed a bill making traffic speed cameras illegal. So... it's illegal to speed but there's no way to prove it.
