I want to know three things when vouchers pass:

1. What will the application for private/religious schools criteria look like, and who is approving/denying these schools?

2. Will the application process be publicized--Which schools made it, which didn't and why not?

3. Will the state require schools to track and make public the reasons why they denied students due to disability, perceived cultural differences, language "barriers", etc.?

Think any of this will happen?

Honestly, I have no idea. I don’t trust republicans to be transparent about anything.

Why is Sen. West voting for these bills? I don’t get it.

Senate Democrats are much more conservative than the House. West, like Zaffarini and Hinojosa, has a long history of voting for Republican priorities. At best, I would call him a centrist.

Scudder coming to Cowtown....will he speak to a shuddered TCDP.....if any readers knows anything , tell us here....we have been 2 weeks in complete ignorance of what's happening.

Chair - TDP

Trump speaks of patients...TCDP isn't in recover or even on life support...its DOA

You are coming next week ...will u speak to this?

Because every single Tarrant Dem is completely in the dark....the only ones who know what's going on are the people that turned off the light switch and they ain't saying diddly.

This is symptomatic but not singular:

Leadership spent $35,000 on the annual fundraiser at Sheraton,a MAGA owned hotel, Not $7500 on a Quincera Hall on North Side owned by Hispanic Dems. That would be $25,000 we could give to Pct, Chairs , raise our profile in a Hispanic part of town, and put money in the pockets of local biz.

We sponsored a deportation protest....the Chair didn't show up and few staff spoke Spanish...it was families scared to death over deportation and TCDP , standing off 50 yds away, communicatting with few protesters but asking for donations.

Fundraising sucks and yet we doubled staff salaries.

Of the 250,000+ Dems in Tarrant County we talk to no one. Never , Ever. We spent $2K on pct chairs?????????

NO ONE KNOWS THERE IS A TARRANT DEM PARTY

Leadership is clueless and lazy but no one resigns.

That is job #1 Kendall. We can't straiten out this mess ourselves , if you can't capably assist then you all define yourself as pointless

a distressed Tarrant County Dem
