"The rich rules over the poor,
And the borrower is servant to the lender."
Proverbs 22:7
On Monday, the comptroller's office released the latest local government debt figures. TPPF picked it up. So did we.
How about the rest of Texas Media?!?
- Texas Tribune -- NOTHING.
[Note: In fairness to the Trib, they have covered this issue fairly extensively in the past.]
- Austin American Statesman -- NOTHING.
- Dallas Morning News -- NOTHING
- Ft. Worth Star Telegram -- NOTHING.
[Note: Check out what the Star Telegram did publish on the same day the local debt ##'s came out.]
- Houston Chronicle -- NOTHING.
- San Antonio Express News -- NOTHING.
We know what you're thinking: The DAMN LIBRUL MEDIA (tm) is suppressing the story.
So how did conservative media outlets, specifically those who focus on fiscal policy, perform?!?
- Empower Texans/Texas Scorecard -- NOTHING.
- Texas Monitor -- NOTHING.
Bottom Line: Texas has the second highest per capita local government debt in the country; it sure would be nice if more of our voters understood that reality....
