The state board of insurance is pretty much run by the insurance industry. Two days after hurricane Harvey hit, new regulations passed the Spring before went into effect, which greatly helped windstorm insurance companies at the expense of their insureds.

The oil companies “self report” their mistakes because the state and federal agencies do not have the budget/manpower (or will) to inspect the refineries.

Everything in this state, from wages to public health, takes a backseat to corporate interests.
