The deadline for passing legislation has passed in the Texas House of Representatives, and one of the pieces of legislation that failed to pass would have allowed direct sales of Teslas in Texas. Below is an excerpt from a story on KXAN.com here in Austin, with the money quote from Democratic Rep. Senfronia Thompson, who is currently serving her 20th two-year term.
Among other bills that didn’t make the first round of cuts was one to permit electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla Motors to sell cars in Texas. Identical measures by a House Democrat and a Senate Republican both got stuck in committee after facing strong opposition by car dealers.
Democratic Rep. Senfronia Thompson — one of the House’s most senior members currently serving her 20th term — said it was the company’s own fault that the bill didn’t pass.
“I can appreciate Tesla wanting to sell cars, but I think it would have been wiser if Mr. Tesla had sat down with the car dealers first,” she said.

Why are these clowns allowed to serve 20 terms? 2, 4, 6 years, I don’t care. No one should be allowed to make a career out of politics.
UN-ELECT EVERYONE!

As long as they get elected, they can stay as long as they keep getting elected. There are no term limits. If I had any say in it, I would make it so that anybody who gets elected to anything will be allowed to serve ONE term. I think one of the biggest problems with politics is that the day after somebody gets elected they start working on their reelection. Forget about the business of the People.
