Pratt on Texas

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: New polling is interesting and shows that Texas Republicans could lose the U.S. Senate race. Democrat liberal Colin Allred is polling neck and neck with Ted Cruz. I give a full rundown of the detail of the poll done by Public Policy Polling.
All the free media publicity around man-child Beto Pancho O’Rourke had Republicans working but this time around we don’t see the same work ethic yet Allred is polling better than did Beto.
Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.

Texas manufacturing down; service sector okay but relative flat, and; retail continues its contraction.

The longshoreman strike shows what is, and has always been, wrong with the labor union movement: Unions have always been as greedy as they and their allies have painted business owners or “capital” to be. Press reports say that ILA [union] members currently have a base salary of $81,000, but large amounts of overtime can allow some to reach $200,000 for manual labor jobs.
