Christian said the timing was too close to the election for the seat Rep. Rosenthal is running for. Darby threatens reforms and compelling Christian to attend future hearings
Texas
House Energy Resources
Committee Chair Drew Darby on Tuesday blasted Railroad
Commissioner Wayne Christian for refusing to testify before the
committee about the agency’s controversial new public comment policy.
In a
letter today, Christian accused Darby of intentionally rescheduling the initial
meeting from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., which was also during the commission’s
monthly meeting. He noted that committee member Rep. Jon Rosenthal is
the Democratic nominee for the RRC and argued that appearing before Rosenthal
for questioning now wouldn’t be appropriate.

The family of Overton, who during his life was honored at the Texas Capitol on numerous occasions, will join the new owners to pay tribute to him with the new name of the store bringing cigars, culture, and the city together on the East Side
Many of y’all
know that since 2020, my favorite place for an afternoon cigar has been on the Austin’s
East Side. Daniel White, Luis Parra, and the crew at the store became
like family under their old banner and now something new is just getting
started. Those of you who have joined me for a cigar there know that what first
caught my eye was the mural on the store’s side of the late Richard Overton,
who well past his 100th birthday was still smoking a dozen cigars a
day.
A new
owner, John Thomas, recently took over and has a new vision and plans and
a perfect tribute to a man who’s been honored at the Texas Capitol
more times than I can remember.
“Mr.
Overton used to sit on his porch, smoke cigars, and invite people up to smoke
with him,” said JT, the new owner. “That’s the kind of community and culture
we’re looking to
foster.”
Members of
Overton’s family plan to join in the festivities during the Grand opening next
week. Full info
here.
Hope to
see y’all there for a smoke during session.

State Reps with large South Asian populations in their districts are quick to join Sen. Cornyn in condemning French's words; Abbott barely says anything though
While
party leadership including Speaker Dustin Burrorws preach “One Party,
One Mission” during the campaign, Texas Railroad Commissioner nominee Bo
French on Sunday earned a wave of condemnation from fellow Republicans over
his description of brown University of Texas students after their
football team won over Ohio State this weekend.
Posting a
picture on social media of students of South Asian descent at Darrell K
Royal Stadium, French said “I heard UT graduation this year looked like
this. I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone
imagined.”
That drew
immediate criticism from Sen. John Cornyn, who said "This is the
Republican nominee for statewide office. Are other Republican elected officials
going to condemn the intolerance and racism, or look
the other way while it becomes normalized.”
“This is
how great political parties self-destruct,” Sen. Cornyn said. “Sad.”
French
defended and doubled down on what he had said, though.

Despite reports that Abbott’s consultant has said this issue is starting to dissipate, the governor today said “Data centers must share the duty to protect Texas water…I direct the Texas Water Development Board to use its enforcement authority to penalize past failures and to impose legal consequences for any future failure to comply.”
Abbott’s sternly
worded letter to the TWBD can be found right here.
