Pratt on Texas

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: What Governor Abbott ruined in a lasts moment veto, the U.S. Congress fixed: The spending bill to reopen government removed the unintended loophole that created a multi-billion dollar get-high drug industry using THC in hemp. Every grower, processor, and retailer knew from the beginning that they were operating via a loophole never intended but went into the drug business anyway – have zero compassion for them (if this holds up.)

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day:  Governor Abbott launched his campaign for a record 4th term as Texas governor. Is he truly committed to passing the very big issues and reforms he touted or, is it all a play to look super conservative for a 2028 presidential run? One thing is different from the past: Abbott has finally learned to be engaged with the legislature and push hard for some agenda items. That’s something he didn’t do for the first half of his time in the Guv’s Mansion.
