For the third or fourth week in a row, the annual Texas Progressives roundup got too big and too diffuse in focus to run in one piece. The second half, on environmental and national parks issues, runs this afternoon.
Off the Kuff finds that even Greg Abbott's pollster thinks the Governor's race is close. (Your correspondent thinks Kuffner's reading too much into this. Shock me.)
On the other hand, late last month, Faux News' polling said Strangeabbott was just 1 percentage point ahead. The one normal big asterisk for Tex-ass polling is that it's registered voters, not likely ones; other than that, it looks totally solid.
Side note: It also puts Talafreako 3 points up on Kenny Boy. Will that push Paxton into agreeing to participate in already scheduled debates?
Second side note: Inflation is listed as the No. 1 concern. The border is next, then health, jobs, and political divisions tie for third. "Environment," which would include the water side of data centers, is not listed. "Inflation" right now is driven above all by gas prices, which means Strangeabbott's November future is tied to Trump's stupidity on Iran, which is ultimately in the service of Zionism and Islamophobia, stuff Kuff really doesn't cover much, especially not the former.
Related to the subject matter of the first paragraph, the Trib reports that Strangeabbott plans an electric usage audit of about 300 projects, primarily data centers. That said, another story there notes how specifics-free (shock me) Abbott's "audit" is. It's also unclear how much or how little any of this addresses water as well as electricity.
Regina Vanburg argues that Greg Abbott isn't going to save anyone from data centers.Also also related? The Observer says its still unclear who will pick up what on the electricity tab cost.
As for Talafreako? A new round of his hypocrisy has popped up.
