As the budget conference committee comes to a compromise between the House and Senate versions of the budget, Rep. Rick Hardcastle’s attitude is getting a little gloomier. The committee is considering closing down two state schools, one in Pyote and one in Vernon, Hardcastle’s district. The TYC lock-up in Vernon employees about 150 people.
“This isn’t about re-election for me,” said Hardcastle. “It’s about not getting shot. About half of those employees drive by my house every day on their way to work.”
The committee tabled those ideas and will tackle them either over the weekend or next week.

Wow, he really seems motivated. Maybe NRA allowing guns everywhere will have a side effect of getting politicians to do their job out of fear of getting shot.

He’s afraid of getting shot? This is the prison/school which was being run by pedophiles
that Alberto Gonzales declined to prosecute because the contact between the guards and the children might have been “Consensual.” There is a deeper story here. Think I’m full of it?
