WHERE in our Texas Constitution is power delegated to you to provide, from our Texas PUBLIC treasury, funded by the taxes paid by State Citizens, Aid and Compensation to car buyers (including those who are NOT a Citizen of Texas) for plug-in vehicles?

Our Texas Constitution clearly and unambiguously mandates / commands / orders YOU, our Legislators, to provide AID AND COMPENSATION, as well as RESTITUTION for the private property taken, damaged, destroyed, and other injuries done to a TEXAS CITIZEN in his lands, goods, person or reputation, if they are subjected to fines or imprisonment under the laws of this State for an offense for which he or she is not guilt; AND that this aid & compensation be EXPEDIENT.

WHERE does our Texas Constitution instruct our Lawmakers, and our Governor, to provide aid and compensation GM, a for profit enterprise based in a foreign State with a large percentage of that business owned by Japan and China? Our Texas Constitution mandates your services benefit the people of Texas, as a non-profit enterprise – not as a enterprise providing profit for public officials. WE are the public you were elected to serve by protecting our INDIVIDUAL Rights and private property from unlawful or wrongful taking by THE STATE OF TEXAS.

Your duty is to protect OUR private property. It is NOT within the province of your office to GIVE our private property, entrusted to you in our Texas Public Treasury, to CHEVROLET, while you REFUSE to RESTORE the private property to the VICTIM of wrongful acts, intentional or erroneous, of public servants of THE STATE OF TEXAS.

Excerpt from the Report in the Houston Chronicle:

Gov. Rick Perry first proposed a tax credit of $5,000 for plug-in hybrids buyers in his State of the State speech last month. Allison Castle, a Perry spokeswoman, said money to pay for the rebate program would come from the Texas Emission Reduction Program, which is funded by vehicle title transfer fees and currently has a balance in excess of $200 million.

“The objective of this rebate program is to clean the air,” said state Sen. Kip Averitt, R-Waco, who has filed [the] bill that would give a $4,000 state subsidy to plug-in hybrid buyers.
