DAY 1000 OF COVID-19 DEMOCRAT TYRANNY
In Texas, the disaster declaration gives Abbott’s executive orders — normally nonbinding — the weight of law.
Using them, he has the ability to suspend any regulatory statute or state agency rule without legislative approval, transfer money between agencies without legislative oversight, commandeer private property and use state and local government resources, evacuate populations and restrict the movement of the people, among other things.
In most states where the proclamations are still active, including Texas, Colorado, Illinois and Delaware, they are set to expire in December unless state leaders renew them.https://www.texastribune.org/2022/12...d-greg-abbott/Under the public health disaster order, Abbott has made several unilateral decisions in response to the pandemic.
He extended the length of early voting in 2020 to help thin out Election Day crowds. He enacted mask mandates; directed state agencies to offer work-from-home options to employees; closed bars, gyms, nail salons and other businesses during one of the early surges; banned elective surgeries; limited long-term care visits; and capped venue occupancy until later removing those limits and banning cities from enacting them.
how long has this guy been governor?
How about five years for hiring illegals?
overkill
Why did Gov. Abbott let all those migrants in? Thought he was on top of that.
Why is it overkill?
Because exploiting illegals working for low wages is as American as apple pie and mass shootings.
True, lots of white Republican men would go to prison. Qhris can't have that.
That's rather macabre, but 5 years in jail would be like a 3rd strike offense for something like that.
Qhris hates America...
Worse, qchrisy-style republicans are upset after realizing they lost job opportunities to illegals, hate to see it.
This is the report Abbott held back til after the election. The Texas abortion ban is likely making it worse.
Requiring pregnant women to be actually dying before giving them the medical care they need will result in needless deaths. Just a matter of time.
even if saved from near death, near death probably lots of damage, some permanent, and/or long rehab, both physical and mental.
Damaged women is nothing but Christ's love.
You really want to die on this hill?
CA had a 100 billion surplus the year before... it can be cyclical
CA also regularly contributes to a number of "rainy day" budget reserves which at this point are at something like 30-35 billion altogether
newsom not considering tapping into those at this time
Overtaxed.
stop, he's already dead
Republicans have controlled this state since 1994, isn't it long enough yet?

positioning for 2024
https://www.texastribune.org/2023/01...omy-democracy/The poll also found Gov. Greg Abbott’s approval at 46%, while 48% disapprove of Abbott’s job performance. President Joe Biden had a lower approval rating — 40% — while 55% disapproved of his performance.
From the article - Meanwhile, 21% said Texas’ economy is doing better than the rest of the country.
That's got to sting Abbott and his PR/social team volunteers.
