Texas / In Their Own Words: House Runoff Candidates on the Speaker
« Last post by Elderberry on Today at 11:37:33 am »Texas Scorecard by Amelia McKenzie and Sydnie Henry | May 6, 2024
Texas Scorecard asked candidates what they would like to see in a House Speaker Candidate.
With the primary runoff election mere weeks away, Texas Scorecard reached out to all runoff candidates for state representative to ask what they are looking for in a speaker candidate.
The Speaker of the Texas House is elected by fellow House members and wields considerable power as the arbitrator of committee assignments and order on the floor.
Current House Speaker Dade Phelan (R-Beaumont) has faced considerable ire from citizens for appointing Democrats to chair key committees in the House and allowing Republican priorities to die without a vote.
A group of current and future House Republicans created a “Contract with Texas” to end “liberal dysfunction” in the House, proposing a dozen reforms promising to “improve the integrity, transparency, and efficiency of the House.”
They want the next Speaker of the House to implement the following 12 reforms:
1. Only solicit support for Speakership from Republican members
2. End the practice of awarding Democrats with committee chairmanships
3. Ensure all GOP legislative priorities receive a floor vote before any Democrat bills
4. Replace the current liberal Parliamentarians with staff committed to only offering advice on adherence to House rules, not to advancing their personal ideology
5. Limit the Speaker to two terms to reduce their power over individual members
6. Ensure there are no longer any Democrat-majority committees
7. Stop parliamentary abuse by requiring only substantial adherence to House rules to keep hyper-technical points of order from killing good legislation
8. Allow audio/video recording of all House proceedings, including point of order debates
9. Start substantive work as soon as Session begins to end delays that kill priority legislation
10. Reform the Calendars Committee to increase transparency and accountability
11. Select a Republican as Speaker Pro Tempore
12. Decentralize power by prohibiting the distribution of political funds from the Speaker
Below is what the Republican House Runoff candidates have to say on what they would like to see in a speaker.

Story by Margaret Hartmann
...Noem is also in trouble because it appears she lied about some other things in No Going Back, which comes out on Tuesday. Over the weekend, the book’s publisher said Noem’s untrue claims about meeting Kim Jong-un would be removed from future editions:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yesterday's Clay Travis and Buck Sexton radio show, they said that when an author writes a book and also narrates the audio version they MUST read every word as written.
Travis went on to say how extremely difficult that is because you are never satisfied with the "finished product" and have to discipline yourself not to edit and/or expound on a point.
He went on to say that she had to know full damned well that she never physically met Kim Jong-un.

It has to be incredibly stressful for him. We pray for his health.

Climate Change / Border area mobilizes against German wind turbines of 250 meters high: 'Haste is required, more and
« Last post by rangerrebew on Today at 11:21:20 am »Border area mobilizes against German wind turbines of 250 meters high: 'Haste is required, more and more applications are coming'
From one of our correspondents .
Will the nature near Winterswijk soon be overshadowed by gigantic German windmills? "If we do nothing, then certainly," says campaigner Ricarda Kleffel. That is why the area is taking action. Not only on the Dutch side, but also on the other side of the border.
Not a moment too early, because there is a need for haste. "Yesterday we were surprised at Ratum with another application for the construction of a wind turbine," says Chiel Stemerdink. He shows a card with the new dot on it. 'Look, this one is really pushing the boundaries. This brings us to seven in total.' Together with the three search areas near Woold, Winterswijk potentially amounts to 10 mega mills, just across the border.
Developers are committed to installing turbines as quickly as possible. Once they are there, they won't leave.
'We are in discussions with the German authorities. They listen to us, show understanding and then say they can't help much. We have to go to Berlin. '
That corridor has been started. At the same time, the group also wants to draw attention to the area itself. That's why they unveiled three protest signs. One on the border, and the two others near the area where windmills will soon be located.
