Sen. Ellis Wants DPS To Do What!? wrote:Apparently Sen. Ellis thinks the Texas Dept. of Public Safety has too little to do and the Texas treasury is burdened with too much cash. Charles L. Cotton

Senator Rodney Ellis has filed SB259 that is mind boggling in terms of its detrimental impact on the Texas Dept. of Public Safety workload and the financial burden it would impose on the State budget. To make matters worse, Sen. Ellis’ Bill would require the DPS to perform work that is already being done by federal agencies at no cost to the State of Texas.

I think Rodney Ellis and Sheila Jackson-Lee exist in the same alternate universe and in similar mental fugue states.

Man, I hate gerrymandering.

Some people talk just to hear themselves. Ellis writes bills so he can say he did something. If you look at his record you will se that it has been several years since he was able to get anything passed. Hopefully his current losing streak will continue.
