WE taxpayers are paying $122 million in overtime...how's that working for us, folks? One of the most fundamental problems in Texas is that we are mute when we get outrageous information such as this...by not causing an uproar of indignation, we are giving tacit approval for this kind of stupidity to continue...we deserve all the corruption we hear about when we do absolutely nothing about it. Unless we stand for fiscally responsible government, this is what we'll continue to get from repubs.
