In a letter to leaders at PUC and ERCOT, the Gov also outlined some of his proposals on data centers for next session
Data
centers in Texas have been described by at least one Republican leader in the
Texas House as a key reason that “rural Texas is on fire politically.” Feeling
the heat, legislators have already started to dig into what might be done about
it next session.
Meantime,
Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday asked regulators to “take action to
require data centers to pay for all of their electric infrastructure costs to
ensure that no residential ratepayer is burdened by those costs.”

Power players, trade association news, staffer moves, and more
The summer
months are in full swing now with trips to the beach for some of you. For
others, it’s anywhere that’s not hot like Colorado or Maine. As for me, I’m looking
forward to covering the Republican Party of Texas Convention in
Houston next week and the Texas Democratic Party Convention later
this month in Corpus Christi. I’ll see lots of you in both places.
Meantime, there
are some significant career moves to pass along this week. People on the Move
is the most efficient way to let Texas Capitol folks know about your new job or
new business. Feel free to send the scoop anytime to ksbraddock@gmail.com and use POTM in the
subject line. Please and thank you.
Here’s the
latest edition.

During a less than transparent process last year, House members were promised certain amounts for their school districts that aren’t adding up now; “Had I known then what I know now, it might have changed the way I voted on the bill,” said one frustrated Republican
Following
passage of last year’s massive school finance package, Texas House
legislators from both parties are grappling with a complex discussion over a
fairly straightforward question: How can they have passed what was billed as an
“historic” $8.5 billion investment in public schools only to now see ISDs in
their areas not receiving as much as was promised and, in some cases, being
forced to scrape by on reserve funds?
As the Texas
House Public Education Committee engages in a review of House Bill 2,
some very conservative legislators joined with Democrats on Monday in
expressing deep concerns over discrepancies between what was promised and what’s
being delivered.

"Well… maybe we should listen to our state representatives," McLaughlin said
The United
States Department of Agriculture on Wednesday confirmed a case of New World screwworm in South Texas. For the
uninitiated, it’s a parasitic fly that could wreak havoc on the state’s $15
billion cattle industry – not to mention its impact on all other living organisms.
The announcement
comes just one day after Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins had dismissed the concerns of Rep. Don McLaughlin,
R-Uvalde. He raised the issue on social media and in correspondence to other lawmakers.
The freshman Republican from Uvalde County, a former mayor of Uvalde, had said
that the parasite had been detected a mile from the US-Mexico border.
