Revolving door at Texas environmental agency?
Some worry that many top officials leave to go to work with companies they once regulated.

1. Taxpayer Handouts
2. Record Profits
3. Influence
4. Campaign Contributions
5. Super Bowl Tickets/gifts
6. Job promises
7. Industry favorable legislation
8. Protection from regulation
9. Lobbyists and more lobbyists
Increased Pollution
Endangered Public

This is why we need whistle blowers and activists like Don Young and “Far-left Radicals” like me.
