    Sounds like they very explicitly don’t want oversight to see something. All the more reason those monitors need to be there.

      Either that or because they want to feel like a big boy all mighty and powerful by telling the federal government to kick rocks

        I wonder how they’d feel about losing the 37% of the Texas budget that comes from the Feds?

        The only way that notorious piss-baby, Greg Abbott, can win an election is by telling the fed to fuck off, losing, but then campaigning on both telling the fed to fuck off and taking credit for other people’s work.
