The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: State Representative Hillary Hickland has an important bill, HB 1549 the Retail Decency Act, that needs passing but many of the insider leadership types don’t want to deal with it. The bill needs a hearing in committee and you need to take action to call the committee chairwoman, Rep. Angie Chen Button, and tell her staff you want an immediate hearing on HB 1549, the Retail Decency Act by Rep. Hickland. Call both the Austin and Richardson offices and ask for an immediate hearing. As chairwoman, Button has the power to get this done.

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.
