People(on both sides) are going to believe what they want to believe. Rarely do truly political(either side) people care about the TRUTH. People have a tendency gravitate to those who are saying things they want to hear. For some unexplained reason, GOPers seem to listen to the radio more than liberals.

Another Bush legacy in Texas.

But under a new state law, law enforcement officers will now have to seek approval from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality before asking a county or district attorney to pursue criminal environmental charges in <POLLUTION> cases. Prosecutors are barred from pursuing criminal charges if the commission's review determines its own administrative penalties or a civil lawsuit are adequate to resolve an alleged violation.

"This law just doesn't make sense," said Sgt. John Babb, an officer for the Lower Colorado River Authority who helped investigate the Triologic case. "It's an insult to the local governments, which do most of the enforcement of environmental violations in Texas."
