Episode 3672: Gov. Abbott tries to get ahead of 2 issues, poorly (lottery & Colony Ridge) | Apple to build big in Texas – Pratt on Texas 2/24/2025
The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: Governor Abbott has been sucked into two stories he’d rather have not had to deal with. He’s there though and his get-out-in-front-of-it swings at bat are really weak on both stories.
First is the Lottery Commission scandals – Abbott has chosen not to reign in the commission for some time despite widespread knowledge of bad actions. Today he asks the Texas Rangers to investigate – way too late and really off mark because the problems are more policy related than criminal. Abbott’s own appointee as lottery commissioner has now resigned.
And the ol’ Colony Ridge development is back in the news: Colony Ridge targeted in Trump deportation push, Greg Abbott says. Abbott makes like he’s getting tough on the place, built by big donors, but note the DPS sergeant who says they are doing what they’ve been doing for two years despite Abbott’s get tough social media post.
Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.
Dallas Fed says Texas manufacturing took a dive in February. Apple announces new big server plant for Houston-area, and more business news.
A&M system’s list of 5 candidates for new Chief Aggie.
