Fiscal Notes: New Tax Incentive Program Succeeds Chapter 313

JETI succeeds the Texas Economic Development Act, more commonly known as the Chapter 313 tax-incentive program. JETI differs from Chapter 313 by excluding the option to waive the job creation requirement, which occurred frequently under Chapter 313. Applicants also must prove that the JETI program is a compelling factor for competitive site selection in Texas by providing evidence that the investment was made due to the tax incentives offered through the program.

Hard Times for the Professional Never Trump Losers

These are hard times for the professional Never Trumpers. Donald Trump is winning this election, they’re not getting the attention they used to, and inflation has made pool boy rates simply outrageous. Those poll numbers showing Trump leading across the country have to be understood as a total repudiation of these jerks, because they are. There are a lot of reasons to want to see Trump win, but in the Top Five is seeing these goofs cry.

In Battleground States that Decided 2020 Election, 3 have Now Held Primaries: Trump's Beat Biden in All 3 – Handily

While pollsters may give us insights into how people will vote, voters actually participating in a Primary Election offers hard evidence as to how they have voted. So far this year, Republicans & Democrats have held Primary Elections in three out of the six states that decided 2020’s Presidential Election (Arizona, Georgia & Michigan.) Thus far, Trump has yet to lose and his turnout has defeated Biden's handily in all three – by an average margin of over 150,000 votes. Why is this significant?

Texas Businesses Close to Helpful Tax Relief, U.S. Senate Needs To See It Through

With a majority of Mainstreet businesses in Texas grappling with an uncertain economic climate and the deadline to file this year’s taxes, we could use another round of common sense, pro-innovation tax policies. And in a Congress that's taken few steps forward on legislation of any kind, "The Tax Relief for American Families & Workers Act of 2024" provides a glimmer of hope. Many Texans could use some relief from the economic woes they’ve endured under the Joe Biden White House.

Groundbreaking Pain Management, without Major Side Effects like Addiction, being Made

Accidental opioid overdoses are on the rise in Texas. In fact, 1-in-4 Texans has personally experienced an opioid overdose – or knows someone who has. Emergency Room visits for opioid misuse among seniors rose 220% in 2021, and Veterans of Iraq & Afghanistan are at increased risk of being prescribed opioids for pain. Since the best time to break a habit is before it starts, it’s been encouraging to see Congress heed the call to make non-opioid pain medications more available & affordable.

CHADWICK: Sadly, America’s Complete Reliance on Law Enforcement is No Longer a Reality

As the nation navigates through another politically charged election year, individuals from various backgrounds and political beliefs have valid reasons to be deeply concerned about their safety. No matter who you are – or what your opinion of the police is – in a crisis, we all still call 911 and wait for help to arrive. But in today’s America, the average Police Department is glaringly understaffed, and it will almost certainly be longer than you think before that help arrives.

With Over 256,000 Illegal Immigrant "Encounters" Last Month, Biden Sets Record for Worst February Ever

“Despite Secretary Mayorkas finally admitting there's a border crisis after three years of lying to Congress – and to the American people – he continues to incentivize unlawful entry into our country with his mass Catch & Release and mass-parole programs,” said House Homeland Security Committee Chair Mark Green, after the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security reported more than 256,000 "encounters" with unauthorized migrants in February, the worst February on record.​​​​​

State Rep. Oliverson Declares Run for Texas House Speaker in Austin

“The dysfunction in the Texas House during 2023 highlights a need for change at the Capitol in Austin. Two weeks ago, Republican voters across the state sent a strong and unmistakable signal that Texas needs a new paradigm. Ineffective leadership in the House brought about the first – the frustration of the voters underscores the second. For these reasons, I am announcing my candidacy for Speaker of the Texas House for the 89th Session," said Mr. Oliverson.

Sen. Cruz: Biden Facilitates, Gives Victory to Hamas by Abstaining from Vote on U.N. Resolution

“Today's resolution is a capitulation to – and a victory for – Hamas. It does not acknowledge, let alone condemn the atrocities of October 7th, the worst one-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. It includes language calling for the release of hostages, which is designed to be ignored – and will be ignored by Hamas. ​​​​Indeed, this resolution will further entrench Hamas, and reverses what the Biden Administration said was its policy linking a ceasefire to the release of hostages," said Cruz.

SCHLICHTER: America's Going to Be Targeted for a Massive Terrorist Attack – Will You Be Ready?

It's happened in Israel, and it's now happened in Moscow. It’s going to happen here in America – perhaps exponentially worse. The jihadis, the Muslim fanatics, are not so finicky as we are about our distinctions between the Jewish state, Russia, and us, the Great Satan. The key is they're suicidal – they want to fight to the death. They kill until they themselves are killed. It’s coming. Be ready. Pack a bag with medical supplies and learn to stop the bleeding – and pack a gun.

Babin Introduces the Remain in Canada Act

According to the CBP’s own data, the 2023 Biden-Trudeau agreement on asylum has failed to lower the number of encounters at the U.S.-Canada border. It’s also done nothing to prevent or combat the Biden administration’s ridiculous parole policies, allowing unchecked illegals to pour into and across our country. Under President Trump, we had the most secure borders seen in decades. President Trump’s ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy worked to mitigate unlawful entry, secure the southern border, and hold Mexico accountable.

GLO Comm. Buckingham Sues Biden White House Over New Liquified Natural Gas Exports Freeze

“With Joe Biden’s decision to pause Liquified Natural Gas Exports (LNG,) the outright assault on our nation's Energy & Fossil Fuels Industry is reaching a fever pitch. As the steward of 13 million acres of energy-rich state land, I promised Texans to manage it wisely – and Biden’s move to halt new LNG exports will steal from Texas schoolchildren and lead us further away from true energy independence. I cannot allow that to happen under my watch,” said Texas Land Comm. Dawn Buckingham.
