On one issue, the Texas Lege may offer some hope of inaction. If the House and Senate stay miles apart on a bill to replace the old Chapter 313 program, maybe there will be no replacement. Per the Trib piece, wingnuts are already lying, when they claim Chapter 313 favored renewables. And, in the two chambers, and within them, if this continues to be a Republican vs Republican issue, the clock might just be stalled out.
On another, and related? Tex-ass is trying to punish electric vehicles. A $100 surcharge to make up for lost gas taxes (and a bit more) I could see. But $200 per year on your registration? Bullshit. And $400 on extra title costs? Double bullshit.
