Are fiscal discipline and property taxes on the radar? Read below to find out more. Also, we’re saddened to hear about the passing of Robert “Bob” Bruce, a longtime champion of individual liberty, fiscal discipline, and personal responsibility in Texas politics. And, in case you missed it, we took a look at Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico’s voting record during his time as a State Representative. And, believe it or not, Talarico has consistently voted against the fiscal interests of his constituents. Check out all this, and more, below!  |
