Now instead of three commissioners, we’ll have one. Gee, I wonder who that might be? This will be so much easier for the Big Gas Mafia–one check instead of three.

What has yet to be revealed is if this one commissioner system will be appointed or elected.
If it's elected, perhaps I'll run. I have all the qualifications the current Commissioners do, if not more so. In addition to being a registered Republican, but unlike the current Commissioners, I've actually been on a well site. I've seen first hand what happens, and certainly what the many dangers are. I can't imagine why Industry would not help support my campaign.
So–the politicians have renamed the pig, put new lipstick on the pig and require only 1 "street walker" to lead it around town on a leash!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Tim Ruggiero for Texas Railroad Commissioner!! And when did this Czar thing become acceptable?!?! What better way to tell Americans they are feudal serfs with no rights.
A leash? – that would denote an improvement over the current scheme!
