Are you a fan of South Plains politics? Here are your talking points for this week.

The subject of property taxes can be tough to talk about in Lubbock County. There have been huge increases here in recent years. Residents who think they have a better idea had a chance to give lawmakers a piece of their mind. They didn’t have to go all the way to Austin to do it.

Fans love to watch, players love to play and university leaders across Texas love to cash the checks. You won’t be believe the in-depth study that shows what Texas schools spend and make on major college athletics.

Also this week, let the people decide. The Trump and anti-Trump people are trying to decide what that statement really means. Should we let the primary vote decide who the Republican presidential nominee? Should we decide to let it go to a contested national convention and the delegates vote there? It’s always been in the hand of delegates. Some of them are right here in Lubbock.

Talking Points with Bryan Mudd airs each Sunday morning at 11:30 a.m. and Sunday evenings at 11:05 p.m.
