Representatives of the Tex-ass Public Utility Commission testified to the Texas Senate on Wednesday that they're shorthanded, with a poor work-life balance and bleeding away employees, even as Tex-ass Legiscritters have reduced the work cap on total employee numbers.
So, since Rethuglicans in places like Idahell (Iowa, even Minnesota! — and, in case you're wondering, tho not as "blue" as 20 years ago, Dems control both houses of the Minnesota Lege) are talking about eliminating state child labor laws, why isn't Tex-ass? Some serious slackerdom going here. As the link in parentheses notes, New Joisey loosened child labor laws a year ago, too.
Those little kids could shinny up power poles like squirrels. Probably test for electrical shorts quickly.
And, the state could also make this a "workfare" requirement for kids of adults getting state assistance. (ARE THERE any adults who get state assistance? "Here's your $3 of food stamps on the Lone Star Card. Call us back in a week.)
Oh, a 5 percent pay raise for employees in the libertarian capital of Texas, aka Bay Area East? Won't attract more adults. Better hire more children.
