Texas Senate – held a hearing on energy companies performance during Beryl and, in particular, Centerpoint. Senator Bettencourt took a lead role. As you know Bettencourt doesn’t put up with much.
Austin Capitol Tours Update: The tour(s) of the Capitol has been delayed until at least November and perhaps even until January of 2025, due to the unusual number of elections in the spring, injuries to key people, and now the refurbishment of the Texas Senate and House until the end of October. However, it is a not-be-missed event as Representative Mike Schofield will provide an unforgettable lesson in history about the Capitol in Austin.

Harris County Commissioners Court: The next session is at 10 am on Tuesday, September 10, 2024 at the Harris County Administration Building at 1001 Preston, First Floor, on the north side of downtown Houston.
Please join Alexie Swirsky there to support our only Republican Harris County Commissioner, Tom Ramsey. Parking is available across the street for $15.
If you would like to speak on an agenda item (see https://agenda.harriscountytx.gov/), sign up online the night before and be at the court by 9:30 am).
There will be a shortened agenda for this meeting as it is a special commissioner’s court.
The Patriot Award was presented to Alexie Swirsky at the 2024 Lincoln-Reagan Dinner hosted by the Harris County Republican Party on April 26. Alexie was acknowledged for the work she does to promote Republican (i.e. patriotic) values and in part, to her faithful attendance to Harris County Commissioner’s court. She attends to support the only Republican Commissioner, Tom Ramsey. So many court votes are four to one.
One can only imagine how lonely it must feel, especially when there is no one to even second Mr. Ramsey’s proposals or support his Precinct 3’s needs for roads and other infrastructure. Because he is the only Republican, the needs of his precinct are frequently overlooked and the residents of Precinct 3 are not given the resources they need. Money is found for murals painted on downtown buildings and the pet projects of the other Commissioners (like doling out $20 million for guaranteed universal income, $1 million of which is slated for the company doing a comprehensive evaluation first) while ignoring seven years of failed jail inspections.
But on every Commissioner’s court date, Alexie is in the court from early in the morning to late at night with an entourage of other people, sometimes a lot of people! Alexie encourages others to speak on topics important to them and on many occasions has risen to say a few words on the topics she feels are most important. Alexie supports the work that Tom is doing to keep crime and costs down for the county while trying to make Houston a better place to live for everyone in the city.
Congratulations, Alexie!
