Office of Assemblyman Gass3268

[tmthforu94]

You have my endorsement! It'd be great to see some new, active voices in the Assembly. You'll get a high preference from me.

I'd like to ask a question:

What do the numbers "3268" stand for?

[tmthforu94]

Shoot, I wish someone had pointed that out during debate. I didn't even notice that.

[tmthforu94]

I'm going to be fairly blunt on this and say that I find opposition to this amendment are in absolutely no hurry to get any accomplished and are pretty lazy. Our last version failed by a single vote - those in favor gave up quite a bit of concessions which is agreed to by them, then at the last moment they come up with something new they don't like about it. This is not the way things should be handled in this game.

Added this with the farmer relief bill, which has in ways been like talking to a brick wall, I'm very disappointed with how this session has gone.

This version is even more friendly to the left than what you guys were originally asking for. This is deja vu all over again - reminds me of one of our citizens supporting 113% but then opposing 115%, saying it should be higher.

I see you've decided to try your hand at rewriting history again

Funny, coming from the person who has consistently been trying to say that I rejected the 113% compromise without any proof to back that claim up. Your posting history completely contradicts what you're now trying to say, Senator. I would encourage anyone unsure of this to either go back and read threads debating the budget where the Senator originally proposed 113%, only to later oppose it. If you can't find those threads, I'd encourage you to try and wade through his posting history, filled with empty-quoting, back in the month of January, and you should get the information you need.

(Insert lots of "moderate hero" crap here) (Trying to save thread space)

I see you've finally decided to try and take the high road. Well done.

The lesson that should be learned here, quite simply, is that all individuals, both citizens and Assemblymen, need to start paying a bit more attention to legislation and putting in the extra effort. It's ridiculous that this is potentially going to take three times to pass. This all could have been avoided with more communication. Same with the farmer bill, which we should have gotten right the first time, but my pleas to find an acceptable compromise (both by posting in the thread and sending out PMs to legislators) fell on deaf ears.

[tmthforu94]

I guess you'll keep putting it up to a vote until it finally passes?

I'm not going to be doing anything on the matter. However, if Gass and TexasDem have ANOTHER compromise that they'd like to propose, I'd entertain it. More than anything, I just want to have a constitutional provision requiring that a budget be passed, which I'm sure you would agree would be a good thing.

[tmthforu94]

This saddens me. On the other hand, the Mideast is now virtually guaranteed that you'll continue to serve our region, so we're quite lucky.

[tmthforu94]

You've always been a fighter for The People! Best of luck in your future endeavors.

[tmthforu94]

This is incredibly disturbing.
