Dan Patrick lays out aggressively conservative agenda

[TexasTowelie]

Laying out ambitious priorities for the legislative session that begins next week, Lt. Gov.-elect Dan Patrick said Thursday that he will push for significant tax cuts despite a steep drop in oil prices and money for two more years of National Guard presence on the Mexico border.

Patrick promised a Senate-passed state budget that would not include money for the Travis County Public Integrity Unit, the subject of a line-item veto in 2013 that led to as-yet unresolved criminal charges for abuse of office against Gov. Rick Perry.

And he backed ending a diversion of gas-tax money to the Department of Public Safety, saying the change would pump $600 million into needed roads. Other sources of money will be found for DPS, he said.

“DPS will be made whole and gas-tax money will go where it was supposed to go,” Patrick said in a Capitol news conference.

1. SO he wont fund the department that goes after their corrupt republicans...

I often talk about the patience of the AfAm community, that they havent burned America, all of it, to the ground yet, something were role reversed white people would do absolutely.

But maybe we all have an absurd amount of patience as we keep allowing the most vile, filthy, disgusting human beings to do whatever the fuck they want...
