Texas Prepares for Effects from Oil Spill

Last week, Governor Rick Perry announced that Texas is prepared to respond to any effects of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill along the Texas coast. The State Operations Center has remained at an increased readiness level and the State continues to work with federal and local authorities to track the spill and prepare contingency plans.

The Office of the Governor participates in daily conference calls with the White House, Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and gulf state governors.

Any oil reaching Texas shores is expected to be in the form of weathered tar balls, which are naturally occurring on the Texas Gulf Coast during the summer months, according the information from the General Land Office and Coast Guard. Fortunately, Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson has equipped and trained his staff in preparation for a potential spill off the Texas coast. Texas' General Land Office (GLO) has five coastal offices equipped with boats, 4x4 trucks, trailers, ATVs, and skimmers available for response activities. Silt curtains may be deployed to protect washouts.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has activated 12 Mobile Response Spill Assessment Teams capable of conducting air monitoring and collecting sediment and water samples. TCEQ also has staff available to advise on waste disposal and provide training in shoreline clean-up techniques.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is coordinating with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, NOAA, TCEQ and GLO to provide any assistance necessary. TPWD has also formed an internal oil spill response team and is conducting weekly conference calls with the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA), Texas Sea Grant College Program and commercial fisheries. No fisheries have been closed along the Texas coast due to the oil spill. TDA is working with grocery stores to promote consumer awareness that both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Texas Department of State Health Services have affirmed the health and safety of Texas seafood and shrimp.

The Oil Spill Prevention and Response Division of the General Land Office was created in 1991 to prevent oil spills and to ensure platforms, pipeline operators, vessels and refineries have contingency plans in place to respond to spills. Division personnel audit and inspect over 625 facilities that store, transport or refine petroleum products along the Texas coast to check for compliance with applicable regulations. The Division also maintains records on over 18,000 vessels that operate in state water to ensure they have operational guidelines and procedures in place to deal with oil spills.

Officials with the U.S. Coast Guard Houston-Galveston, Port Arthur, Corpus Christi and the GLO will continue regular communication to coordinate activities on the federal, state and local level.

Texas beaches remain open for summer recreation and business. For more information, please visit www.traveltex.com.

Say It Ain't So Joe!

Jason Isaac is the Republican who will be challenging Patrick Rose in November, and upon doing my own research I discovered that all three countries in HD45 went for John McCain in 2008.  Obviously this district does not lean far to the left, and we should support a good  conservative candidate like Jason Isaac who can reclaim this seat for the GOP.  What is Joe Straus thinking?

I would have no problem with this event at all if Patrick Rose was running unopposed or if he was facing a leftist challenge from within his own party, but as we can see, that is clearly not the case.

Seeing as the Democratic Party has their eyes, and highest hopes, on winning in Texas,  I hope  that Speaker Straus will cancel this event and throw his support behind our party's conservative candidate!  With redistricting and potential budget shortfalls coming up, it is vitally important to our great state that we make sure that liberals from the national party do not have a chance to influence a potential Democratic majority in the Texas House of Representatives.

Texas Budget Busters Lets Texans Tell State Lawmakers How to Control Government Spending
 

Texas State Representative Ken Paxton (R-McKinney) has launched TexasBudgetBusters.com to expose the wasteful spending in Texas’ budget and to offer solutions for promoting government transparency and efficiency.

“Like many Texas families, the State of Texas is feeling the impact of the economic recession. When individuals, families and businesses face economic hardships, the solution is to cut spending. Just as families must prioritize and stick to a budget when there is a downturn in the economy, our State government must also control its spending,” says State Representative Ken Paxton.

“The State is facing an approximate $15 - $18 billion shortfall for the upcoming 2012 – 2013 biennium,” Representative Ken Paxton continued. “As we prepare for the 82nd Legislative Session, Texas lawmakers must act responsibly in order to balance the Texas budget. Additionally, the Legislature must remain cautious this session when passing legislation that could affect our State’s economy and work to maintain our business-friendly policies in order to encourage business and job growth while keeping taxes low to help struggling families.”

Using TexasBudgetBusters.com, Texas taxpayers will have an opportunity before the 82nd Session of the Legislature convenes in January to voice their opinions and work to convince their State Representatives and Senators to cut unnecessary government spending, eliminate inefficiency and keep taxes low. Texans are encouraged to log on and vote on proposed budget cuts and other cost-saving proposals, post ideas for balancing the budget and become involved in the state budget process.

“The time has come for Texans to tell their representatives how their state budget should look. After all, Texas taxpayers know best regarding how government should spend their tax dollars,” Representative Paxton concludes.

State Representative Ken Paxton is currently serving his fourth term in office. His district includes Allen, Celina, Frisco, McKinney, and Prosper in Collin County. Representative Paxton currently resides in McKinney, Texas with his wife Angela and their four children.
