Lt. Governor renews call for stronger gun background checks - 09/19/19 09:54 AM
From the Houston Chronicle, our Lt. Governor, the poster child of how long it takes a well meaning citizen becoming fed up with the system, becomes elected in state politics, then become hopelessly corrupted himself. I remember when he chartered 2 buses and went to Austin to speak about property valuations and how the county governments were using this as a guaranteed yearly pay raise. I remember when he was skipped in the Senate even though he was scheduled to speak, and literally thrown out of the chambers. I couldn't vote for him, but he was a citizen hero to me when he ran for and won the state senator election by a landslide.
All he did was pander property taxes to the citizens. The one thing he ran on. And we got nothing. It's time for this charlatan to go back to bloviating his radio show.
Now this. According to this article his last election was razor thin, so he's either vote purchasing Democrats or positioning himself for a higher office run in the Federal system.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is doubling down on his call for closing loopholes in gun sales background checks despite withering criticism from other Republicans, conservative groups that have ardently supported him, and the National Rifle Association.
