    Great…. We got lots of people and businesses…. What about infrastructure to keep up with the growth? Housing costs are ballooning.

    We can’t keep paying companies to relocate here.

    Yesterday I traveled to Houston and between Corsicana and Huntsville there was literally no running water in all those counties. But hey… at least we owned the Libs today…

    Thanks Gov Abbott for your contribution to Texan infrastructure to provide sustainable power and water during your tenure as Governor. Merry Christmas and go F yourself you crooked piece of sh$t.

    This might be better in the "State of the Republican Party" thread, but it worries me that there are people in the GOP much further out than Abbott.

    If only it was just cheap. Costing 4.2B to businesses and spoiling 240m worth of produce is exactly why voters should support the party of pro business and for the ordinary people.

    That chart says it all. We need a new governor in Texas who actually does something to help Texans. Billions wasted at the border instead of taking care of our people. All these border racists, anti-gay bigots, and do nothing good big corporation coddling Republicans need to go.

    Texas Gov. Abbott's border inspections prompt Mexico to move lucrative trade link to New Mexico

    Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's (R) 10-day-long "enhanced" safety inspections of commercial trucks entering the state from Mexico may have cost Texas $4.2 billion in economic damage, as estimated by Waco-based Perryman Group, but it's been great for business in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, a border crossing just across state lines from El Paso.

    Trucks were re-routed through Santa Teresa when Abbott's inspections snarled commercial traffic at Texas border crossings, and now Mexico has decided to move a long-planned trade railway connection worth billions of dollars from Texas to the New Mexico crossing, The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday. "We're now not going to use Texas," Mexican Economy Minister Tatiana Clouthier said. "We can't leave all the eggs in one basket and be hostages to someone who wants to use trade as a political tool."

    Yep. I hope that dude gets voted out. He's nothing but a waste of taxpayer dollars.

    Maybe we can at least get a less crappy AG. We all know Beto's not winning anything.
