Nuclear Waste Storage on Texas Lawmakers' Agenda | The Texas Tribune
Texas, with its ample space and arid climate, could be an ideal home for the nations nuclear waste, some observers say.
Youve got a large state with so much potential, said Brian OConnell, director of the Nuclear Waste Program for the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners from 1999 to 2013. Youve got lots of wide-open spaces.
Since 2012, Waste Control Specialists in Andrews County, a company that was formally owned by the late Dallas billionaire Harold Simmons, has disposed of contaminated tools, building materials and protective clothing, among other items, from shuttered reactors and hospitals.

Perry Sending Guard Troops to the Border | The Texas Tribune
Absent a federal activation, Perry said he acted on his own, meaning that Texans will pick up the $12-million-a-month tab authorities say the deployment will cost.
That ongoing state police operation is estimated to cost about $5 million a month, so Texas could be spending $17 million or more per month for border security when the operation is in full swing. House Speaker Joe Straus, R-San Antonio, said the Legislature will mull how to pay for the increased border presence as costs continue to escalate.
The young immigrants generally turn themselves in to authorities and are later released pending adjudication in the courts, which sometimes takes years.
We think that they will come to us and say please take us to a Border Patrol station, Nichols said.

So Rick Perry is sending the National Guard to be an "escort"? That's the plan?
In the meantime, Texas "glows" not long after business "explodes".
I must say, I really like the way those people think. I'm sure a radioactive Texas unfriendly to children in danger will "lure" lots and lots of skilled workers.
