re: #47 pingjockey

Is the elected leadership of the State of Texas batshit crazy. This guy is a loon and they’re gonna approve him anyway? WTF?

Please note my #17 above…..members of the Texas SBOE are elected by the public from their districts. The governor then selects one to be the Chairman. The Chairman runs the meetings and does have agenda authority but has only one vote.

What is getting debated now is whether to strip the governor the authority to appoint officer positions on the board and return it to the legislature.
