FW Startlegram reports that air quality is just not a priority for the Legislature:
As the legislative session winds down this month, no significant piece of clean-air legislation has passed, though the state faces severe air-pollution problems, including ground-level ozone.So basically Texas is just going on with our anti-environmental stance. F#ck the environment, F*ck clean air. Who cares that people in Midlothian are getting sick? Obviously not the Lege.What's more, the Legislature has proposed significantly cutting a program that has helped remove some of the dirtiest off-road construction equipment, and it wanted to cut another program that has helped reduce emissions by some of the worst-polluting cars and trucks.
