Texas’ new Governor, Gregg Abbott, speaking at the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s 13th annual Policy Orientation in January said, "the truth is, Texas is being California-ized with bag bans, fracking bans, tree cutting bans...We are forming a patchwork quilt of bans and rules and regulation that are eroding the Texas Model."
Tis true, tis true. Cities, counties and HOA’s pretty well dictate everything but which brand of toilet tissue you must use, and I bet that’s next. Dallas and Austin have plastic bag bans. Plano citizens didn’t want a smoking ban, but the city said you are getting one anyway. Same thing is happening with cutting down a tree on your property.
Funny, but the reason we are becoming California-ized is because Californians are moving here to get away from the insane governments they have there. And, now they and others that don’t understand Texas culture, want to change it so we can be miserable too.
I had a tree cut down in my yard recently. Smoked a cigarette while I watched the workmen.
Don’t tell anybody.
