And one would think that any tough-on-crime legislator would be interested in making sure the laws of the Great State of Texas are followed by every individual or organization in this state.Ryan Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12171317748419259984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-72758071182721194852010-01-30T19:11:59.279-06:002010-01-30T19:11:59.279-06:00Its fair to assume that thousands of Texans are be...Its fair to assume that thousands of Texans are being beaten down by the excessive fees imposed by DPS. It seems that the legislature will put excessive fees and fines on Texans so they can claim they don't raise taxes. Hats off to Sen. Shapleigh for trying to do something about this unjust burden placed on our fellow Texans. Is it true that the retired State Rep. from Williamson county who sponsored this fee was given a Dwi which was dismissed last year? Don't know about the merits of the dwi charge, but he, unlike many citizens, no doubt had representation that enabled him to beat the charge and not get penalized by the dps surcharge he authored.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-82720997343110586992010-01-30T01:50:47.863-06:002010-01-30T01:50:47.863-06:00well... according to http://www.shapleigh.org/ne...well... according to http://www.shapleigh.org/news/3801--grover-s-tub-debtors-prisons ...nothing will be happening till 2011!!!!!
