Rep. Gonzales Scores an A+ on Environmental Record from the Texas League of Conservation Voters

McALLEN--- State Representative Veronica Gonzales earned a perfect score for her voting record on environmental legislation in the 81st Legislative Session from the Texas League of Conservation Voters (TLCV).

"Texas is a beautiful state blessed with many natural resources and I believe that the laws we pass should protect and preserve our air, water and land for future generations," Rep. Gonzales said. "My votes reflect that belief and I am proud to earn the League of Conservation Voters' support."

TLCV is a non-partisan organization that advocates environmental protection and conservation. At the end of each legislative session, TLCV issues a scorecard grading lawmakers on a wide range of votes and issues including renewable energy, green technologies, recycling and waste disposal.

Gonzales was one of only 53 of the 150 member House members to earn a perfect score on her votes for 12 bills that addressed a variety of issues including: green state building standards; cleaner vehicles for state agencies, a trust fund to help low- income residents weatherize their homes; creating financing districts for developing renewable energy sources and increasing public beach access. The league also endorsed each House and Senate members who earned an "A" on the scorecard.

The TLCV 2009 Legislative Scorecard is available online at www.tlcv.org/scorecards/2009/.

Fall 2024 in the RGV

It's that time of year again when Winter Texans start to make their way south from the northern states. I have already had phone calls with a Winter Texan client who is getting ready to come down. I think it is fascinating that we can make friends from people who are visiting only seasonally. Looking at the blog stats, I seem to get a peak in traffic every year. So I suppose it must be partly due to many of our friends coming back from up north. Image generated by Gemini 1.5 Pro AI Speaking of seasons, we still have a couple of months to go before the end of hurricane season for 2024. We have been fortunate this year, compared to other parts of the USA. Although, south Texas could use the rain. This time of year makes me happy as we finally have nights that are below 78F like we had all summer. This week we have had mornings in the 60s. While we still have hot days in the 90s, we at least get some respite in the evenings, leading to cool mornings. Returning to RG...

The Mad Mexican

Years ago, there used to be a DJ at B104, a local radio station. Until recent years, B104 had a large audience. They played pop music. The Mad Mexican used to do the morning show with Gary Rodriguez, who is now involved in McAllen politics. Well, the Mad Mexican is still working, but on a national level. I heard him this morning on Aguila, XM 92. Aguila is the Mexican music station on XM Satellite Radio. It's great to hear from him again. He's still pretty wild. Gary Rodriguez? He worked for 107.9 for a while before going to KURV and then entering politics.
