hours, you ve had 1,233 apprehensions just in that sector alone, up 140%. let s go down there where bill can join us and more of what he is seeing. hey, bill. griff, good afternoon to you. you might see over the shoulder, a border patrol unit is a parked behind us, they are looking for a group of migrant runners in the brush behind us, not just any regular brush, it s a residential neighborhood a block away from behind us, and you ve been down here enough and notice as well as i do a lot of this brushy area runs right up against, you know, american households, american neighborhoods and often times people will have people running through their front yards, hiding under the car, that sort of a thing. there was a mother-of-pearl helicopter above us circling, looking for the runners, but the sort of thing that happens every day. you heard governor abbott talking about texas land owners and homeowners having to deal with this, it s absolutely true.
Brown County citizens speak against solar farm tax abatement
Brownwood Bulletin
Six members of TLOW Texas Landowners Opposing Wind urged Brown County Commissioners Court members Monday to refuse a tax abatement for a proposed solar farm project near Brookesmith.
While there were no agenda items at Monday’s meeting that pertained to the proposed solar project, the six spoke during the citizens comments section of the agenda.
TLOW was initially formed by a group of landowners who opposed tax abatements for wind energy.
On Feb. 8, commissioners approved in a 4-1 vote with Brown County Judge Paul Lilly voting “no” guidelines and criteria for any future tax abatements the court might grant.
and misdemeanors, we have the moral impaerative to bring thos before the congress. the president cannot contend you have but one opportunity to impeach. neither can his lawyers. if the president does as he has said, go out on fifth avenue and shoot someone, if he does that with malice aforethought, it would be expected that he would be impeached and we would go forward to impeach him. this notion you can only impeach one is a facade being posed by those who would have us not impeach at all. congressman, i want to focus a little more on your backyard, if you will, as we move to developments with the president s border wall. congress having approved more than $1 billion in funding. there s a new report indicating the federal government wants to seize property from texas land owners on which to build this wall. what is your reaction to that? my reaction is what it has
update ors replaces existing barriers, still the administration is pressing forward with what seems like desperation to build up to 500 miles of gnaw wall by the end of 2020. which means the wall will probably once again be a major campaign issue in the coming year. joining me now is homeland security correspondent for the new york times, here with this morning s cover story, entitled texas land owners are a barrier to trump s wall. an interesting dynamic in all of this playing out. walk us through what you learned in your reporting about these texas land owners and the fight they re putting up to the president s wall. well, i learned that, you know, in addition to kunding disputes, a lawsuit into the contractors, for this construction project, that the very people who live along the border maybe the most significant challenge for president trump when it comes to meeting his deadline of building
well, the bush administration and the obama administration were both able to work with congress and spend literally hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars on technology, on infrastructure improvements, et cetera. and that s the right way to go about it. i mean, they ar there are cleary places along the border that one don t need a wall and clearly places along the border where i m not sure that this administration is willing to take with imminent domain a lot of personal property of texas land owners in order to try to build a wall in a rio grand valley which is where, of course a lot of people cross. so, infrastructure, technology is something that i think now into three administrations have all looked at as a way of helping to improve border security. brian: bill clinton was the first one to say we need that wall. he started building it. continued on every administration. george bush didn t spend all the wall money he got afforded to him. now this president it s hard for him
