At this morning's TribLive conversation, Comptroller Susan Combs talked about the billions cut from the state budget during the last legislative session — and whether kicking the can down the road on health care costs was a sound financial decision.

They should cut the proposed San Antonio streetcar project. That is $180 million we DON'T need to be spending on such a frivolous project during a recession.

Just when you think Combs is just another broken politician, with loose wires, in her head, the loose wires in her head, accidentally touch, and something good comes out of her mouth. Then the wire come loose and bzzzzzzzzz........nothingness. again
Teaxs of all places, being so large, needs extensive mass transit, to keep it connected, and serve the aging and mobile population. Move forward with higspeed trains, local monorails, biking paths. They are all sorely needed.

Here's a woman who clearly puts her political career ahead of the good of the average Texan. Don't elect her again, even as dogcatcher.
For so many reasons, Bob bullock must be turning in his grave to see what's happened to his beloved Comptroller's office.
