Travis County GOP thinks that state law means that Morrow is out because he filed as a write in candidate. Morrow told them to suck his dick. I think the funniest outcome would be for the normies to strut around like this is a done deal only to have Morrow reinstated in a month. https://twitter.com/corriemac/status/769175165213155329

The number of vaccination exemptions granted in the state has tripled over the last 5-6 years IIRC, and even before that it was going up pretty rapidly thanks to some 2003 legislation that expanded the list of reasons you can use to request an exemption. It's starting to become a major health concern because while the numbers for the state as a whole aren't that alarming yet, most of the increase is coming from a small number of central Texas counties, some of which are approaching the threshold where people who are medically unable to be vaccinated can no longer rely on herd immunity.

I hope you love signs and advertising billboards all over highways quote:An Austin appeals court has struck down significant portions of the Texas Highway Beautification Act – cheered as the linchpin of the state’s scenic roadway efforts – because the 42-year-old law restricts free speech. Subchapters B and C are basically the entire law and the reason every mile of our highways aren't lined with advertising. Hey maybe the Lege will fix the law...

What's the deal here? Houston ISD is looking to outright disobey Robin Hood and not send money? It is pretty appalling that HISD with it's 76% student poverty rate is now a property rich district that's going to have to give up about $160 million to robin hood, but throwing themselves on the state legislature's mercy seems like a terrible idea.

Resistance from property-wealthy schools has exploded, along with the number of districts — including very big ones — required to pay up under the Robin Hood plan. I wouldn't expect anything to change in the school finance structure without the courts putting a gun to the lege's head though.

zoux posted:They hope Houston will have the clout to push a Robin Hood killing law. I read that story but, I just thought Houston was looking for some sort of waiver or revision that took them off the hook not an actual repeal of Robin Hood. If Robin Hood is actually repealed, doesn't that open up school finance to actually being held unconstitutional; wouldn't that just put us back to pre-Robin Hood financing which was without a doubt unconstitutional and held to be so? Also, on the anti-vax stuff, I know a teacher in Austin and she told me that Austin ISD has the highest rate of students without vaccinations in the state. Is this true? I suppose it wouldn't really surprise me since liberals/progressives seem to be just as prone to buy into this bullshit.

So not just liberals but rich liberals. Edit: Also interesting is that private schools have much higher rates. Austin Waldorf School (also in west Austin) has the highest exemption rate of any school in the state with an astounding 40 percent of students exempted. To send your kid from kindergarten through high school there would cost more than $60,000 just on tuition and fees. BrutalistMcDonalds fucked around with this message at 08:13 on Sep 2, 2016 |

Oh cool so it sounds like we're going to lose 10% of our federal highway funding now as a result, given it will no longer meet the standards required by the federal act. Which might be enough to get the legislature to act, you'd think, except that this is Texas and there are plenty of assholes here who will reject those funds out of spite and because they're assholes generally who hate the country and its government.

There was a study here that found anti-vaxx was negatively correlated with conservatism, but oddly, positively correlated with free market views: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0075637 Which is why so many libertarians are anti-vaxx. And conspiracy theorists in general are. But it might also be that your West Austin types are a different breed of wealthy than the rich Republicans in Highland Park. (Although Highland Park ISD is above average. It's just that those two ISDs in West Austin are way, way more anti-vaxx than everywhere else. More than double Highland Park. Those West Austin people are craaaazy.) And of the major metros, Austin ISD leads by a solid margin. Interesting... there's a Pentacostal school in Nacogdoches that has an extreme opt-out rate. Fearing the Mark of the Beast, I guess. Although the anti-vaxx is disproportionately represented by elite Austin private schools. But a lot of Christian schools on the list. Rural public schools seem to have the lowest rates. Poorer, more conservative. The liberal border has low opt-out rates too. Laredo ISD has an astoundingly low 0.05% rate.

I say to him: so these are the players that haven't been indicted for rape or animal cruelty? Dead silence with an intense stare. I ask him: are you a Baylor alum? Answer: Yeah. End of conversation.

Some good poo poo in my inbox from the Observer today: https://www.texasobserver.org/signs-of-god-hawkins-jesus-sign/quote:In July 2014, Rogers pulled in front of the home of a woman named Candy Palmertree, blocking her driveway, and threatened to fine her $500 a day until she cleaned her yard and cut the grass, according to a Hawkins police officer’s affidavit filed later that month. Then Rogers pointed to a portable concession stand in Palmertree’s driveway and threatened another $500-a-day fine until she got rid of it. Rogers was arrested, photographed and booked in the Wood County Jail on a charge of official oppression. A grand jury declined to indict him, but from then on, he wasted little time on niceties.

"Your face is a conflict of interest," replied Kirkpatrick. drat! thought Rogers, unprepared for such a deft maneuver. At this point, he faced a tough decision: should he deploy the nuclear option and risk escalating the conflict, or let this blow to his pride go unanswered? But in the end, there was only one choice. "Oh yeah? Well, your mom is a conflict of interest." But Kirkpatrick was ready... all too ready. "Your mom's face is a conflict of interest," he countered. Rogers gasped and bit his lip, holding back tears. He knew he had been beaten.

If you're in Austin and want to get some laughs out of our insane political situation, some friends of mine are putting on a sketch show called Over the Lege. There are some legislator staffers involved so they are gonna be cutting pretty deep. Also, they're going to have various celebrity guests each week like Kirk Watson and Wendy Davis. Here's their promo video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dY_vSD5zhYw
