@RepJoeNeguse @RepAOC @SenatorBennet More proof that the “Close the Revolving Door Act” is very much needed.

Former Senator Kyrsten Sinema, famous for killing the $15 minimum wage, is now a crypto lobbyist.

[Gareth Dennis @GarethDennis]

I cannot express the extent to which this company needs to be aggressively dismantled, its assets seized and its data storage destroyed completely. It is a deeply evil organisation run by deeply evil people.

Yet they are still deepening their access in the NHS! Get them out.

“What are they thinking” Mayor @rbmargolis
The Rowlett mayor and some voters are upset the early voting location was changed to a small church with 10 parking spots. In 2020, more than 22,000 people early voted at the much larger community center. @FOX4

Dallas County moves its only Rowlett early voting site to church with limited parking https://t.co/5XVEEweUsf

@DallasElections made a very poor and shortsighted decision to stuff over 1,800 voters a day into a small building with 10 parking spots, instead of our Rowlett Community Centre with plenty of space and hundreds of parking spots. #VotingRights

@DallasElections made a very poor and shortsighted decision in Rowlett by trying to stuff over 1,800 people a day into a small building with 10 parking spots, instead of our Community Centre with plenty space for voting and parking. #VotingRights

Rowlett Council passed a resolution calling on the #TxLege to restrict the acquisitions of certain foreign made microelectronics and PCBs to protect critical utility infrastructure. It’s important we protect our water, wastewater, and power grid systems from foreign adversaries.

Last night, the Rowlett City Council passed a resolution calling on the State legislature to address the negative impact of institutional investors on the single family housing market in Texas. #DFW #TXLege #Texas

@TheJevil2005 @AlternateConnor @CatOfSachse Cities are capped at 3.5% growth annually. DART gets to rake in $200 million in additional sales tax revenue since 2020 alone. Yet ridership is down 35%.

[Blake Margolis @rbmargolis]

@AlternateConnor @CatOfSachse Add new cities. 28 of them are eligible to join.

[Blake Margolis @rbmargolis]

@TheJevil2005 I’m not talking about reviewing the lump sum. Please read down much further. Review operational expenditures. There’s an entire section dedicated to that.

[Blake Margolis @rbmargolis]

@TheJevil2005 Have you seen how that $700 million is spread? Please read DART’s FY2024 budget packet. Very telling…

@AlternateConnor @RideTheSunbeam Go Link has been around and in Rowlett since 2018. I drive by the Rowlett Station every day to get to City Hall. Fact is - the parking lot was full prior to pandemic. The parking lot remains half full post-pandemic.

[Blake Margolis @rbmargolis]

@AlternateConnor @RideTheSunbeam Gas lighting. Parking lot consistently half full post pandemic. Parking lot full to the rim prior to pandemic. Math ain’t mathing.

[Blake Margolis @rbmargolis]

@AlternateConnor @RideTheSunbeam Getting hotboxed on a train with wet seats (God only knows what that was) and in the same train car as someone having a full-blown psychiatric episode is “quality”. I may as well have been riding in a Rolls Royce Phantom… because “quality”…

[Blake Margolis @rbmargolis]

@AlternateConnor @RideTheSunbeam DART’s peak ridership system-wide was in 2013. What happened since?…

[Blake Margolis @rbmargolis]

@AlternateConnor @RideTheSunbeam What is your definition of “quality transit”?

Those cities won’t join with a 1 cent sales tax burden.

If Mesquite wanted to join as a member of DART at 0.75 cents, they would pay approx $17 million annually. Do you know how much debt can be issued on that annual revenue?
