Are you a fan of South Plains politics? Here are your Talking Points for this week.
President Trump wants a better return on Texas’ border wall investment and the new wall investment could save the state’s cash-poor budget millions. Mexico says no deal, meaning all this may not do much for our personal budget.
One of President Trump’s new executive orders on trade could cost farmers billions. Local farmers are hoping for help to replace that money. Could that help come from an Secretary of Agriculture with a real background in farm business?
Also this week, we discuss the pro-school choice in Austin. Governor Abbot and Lieutenant Governor Patrick are pro-school choice and they want you to have thousands of dollars to put toward sending your children wherever you want them to go to school. Sounds great but where is that money coming from? If lawmakers take public school tax money for private school savings accounts, you’re going to have a lot of angry, public school district leaders. Especially in small towns around the state.
