Just theater, Abbot doesn't work for the people of Texas, he is Gov for the corporations. The only reason he even did this was because Hinojosa is saying no more free rides for Data Centers. They will have to build out their own power and water resources. She is right, who needs them and it's not like they hire more than 30 -40 people anyway. Texas needs to try something new, the Republicans have been in power to long, need to shake things up.
