Episode 3748: Mid-decade Texas redistricting? | Abilene raising property taxes? | ICE arrests wrongly contextualized – Pratt on Texas 6/10/2025
The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: There is a push from the Trump camp for Texas to consider mid-decade redistricting to aid in picking up more Republican seats in Congress. The rumor that such might be considered has been around for a while but now there has been a meeting of Texas Republican members of Congress to discuss such. At present there is not much enthusiasm for such and it comes with big risks. At present, under current conditions, I don’t expect much to come of it but, if Governor Abbott were to get aboard, he’d be the one to set it in motion with a Special Session call which would need to be in July, or the very earliest days of August fit time constraints.
The New York Times broke the story: White House Pushes Texas to Redistrict, Hoping to Blunt Democratic Gains
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.
City of Abilene officials looking to make home ownership that much more out of reach with another property tax increase. Has anyone actually run the numbers to demonstrate a total net savings, over principal and interest costs, from the proposed “energy improvements?” Most often these things do not produce a net savings.
So much of the reporting on arrests by ICE is cleverly misleading propaganda. This Houston Chronicle story is an example: ICE agents arrest 3 people at southwest Houston immigration court. I explain why it is misleading to most as well as why the objections are silly.
