In
an event promoted as “Politics and Poker” this past week at the Texas
Card House in Austin, a venue billed as the area’s premier poker room,
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxon said he’s not much of a card player and
then stressed the need for his office to be vigilant against what he says is

City leaders, police groups, and business interests are concerned about “fiscal chaos” if three of the amendments are passed; right wing donor Monty Bennett is proudly helping lead the charge to make fundamental changes
DALLAS – In
Dallas County, most Capitol observers’ eyes are on the reelection campaigns of Ways
and Means Chair Morgan Meyer and International Affairs and
Economic Development Chair Angie Chen Button, the last two
Republicans to represent Dallas County in the Texas House.
But in the
City of Dallas, a bipartisan coalition of current and former
elected officials, chambers of commerce and police and firefighter associations
are scrambling to defeat three amendments to Dallas’ charter they allege could
cause fiscal chaos.
Propositions
S, T and U are among the 18 charter amendments voters will vote for or against
as part of decennial city charter review process. They are backed by the group Dallas
HERO, a 501(c)4 which met the signature requirements to get the amendments on the ballot.

Some
counties are reporting record-breaking turnout as early voting is underway.
There are
only a handful of races to follow, but there’s always the “what-ifs?”
Ahead of
the election, Secretary of State Jane Nelson reported 18.6 million Texans
registered to vote, a five percent increase from 2022.
And in
August, Gov. Greg Abbott announced 1 million voters had been removed
from the rolls, including 6,500 noncitizen voters. But
an investigation by the Texas Tribune, ProPublica and VoteBeat reported those numbers were exaggerated
and even included some registered voters. The tell on that should have been
