The Legi..."discussing state jail felony statutes "<br /><br />The Legislature could save a lot of money and reduce TDCJ population considerably if they would just reduce all crimes to misdemeanors and make county sheriffs and commissioners courts worry with what to do with the criminals.<br /><br />Of course some County judges would just follow what the Dickens County judge would do.

What a farce and a total waste of time and money for us to have to pay for their shenanigans and good times and do nothing for the good of any of us.<br /><br />I am sorry but not attending Committee Hearings and going to "Exotic" Resturants for dinner and claim it as a meeting, but yet there are no minutes available to read or listen to from that meeting is unacceptable. I also wonder if our elected Representatives actually read the Bills or simply do as done in DC and just vote however they are paid to vote. We simply paid for a good time and more than likely for the fuel and mileage for them to go to Buda, Texas and have a good time.<br /><br />Each and every two years the Lege meets, they tend to do more harm than good for us, as the people who pay for these fun times they have, don't you ever wonder how so many good bills; bills that would help everyone get left on the Calendar or just totally ignored?<br /><br />If you do not follow this fiasco every two years, then I invite you to go to the web sites of the House and Senate and view the video/audio meetings and then think about your vote for the same person, the same person who is taking your money and laughing at you behind your back. The Lege only meets every two years and we still pay them and they turn on us and just have a big time party for the few months they are there, I invite you to look at the videos of minutes and form your own opinion and then think about Term Limits and the referandum needed to get this on the ballot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-25235921922972498322009-05-15T17:28:00.000-05:002009-05-15T17:28:00.000-05:00"On Wednesday, the House passed a bill (unanimousl..."On Wednesday, the House passed a bill (unanimously) that would subject those who possess any amount of marijuana in the same place as someone under 18 years of age to a year in jail and $4,000 in fines.
