The emotional and powerful ads feature the story of Dan Golvach, the father of Spencer Paul Golvach, a 25 year-old Texan who was brutally murdered on January 31, 2015 by Victor Reyes, an illegal alien who had been convicted of violent crimes, served time in federal prison for those crimes, and had been deported from the United States on four occasions. Reyes was hiding in Houston, under the city’s “sanctuary city” policy when he murdered Golvach. In the commercial, Dan Golvach tells the heartbreaking story of the loss of his son and blames Texas House Speaker Joe Straus for his murder. Jeff Morris, Chairman of Young Conservatives of Texas, said, “Speaker Straus and his hand-picked lieutenants have consistently thwarted conservative efforts to ban sanctuary cities in Texas.

  • Running on Hydrocarbons: Oil and Gas Funding to Every Texas Lawmaker
    Running on Hydrocarbons: Oil and Gas Funding to Every Texas Lawmaker Texans for Public Justice Public Citizen’s Texas Office Sierra Club May 2017 Running on Hydrocarbons: Oil and Gas Funding to Every Texas Lawmaker (2013-2016) he Texas Sunset Advisory Commission typically reviews state agencies every 12 years to determine if the agencies are efficient, need reform, or should be abolished. The Texas Railroad Commission T just underwent its third Sunset review since 2010. A hard-hitting 2013 Sunset staff report recommended the agency’s three elected commissioners should only be allowed to raise money during an 18-month period surrounding an election (instead of throughout most of their six-year terms). It also recommended that the agency develop rules to prevent informal, ex parte discussions of contested cases, and to ban commissioners from taking money from parties to contested cases. Our recent Conflicted report found that commissioners continue to take contributions from parties with pending contested cases, despite their claims that they “self-police” such conflicts. The 2016 Sunset staff report slammed the agency’s deceptive name, calling for its rechristening as the “Texas Energy Resources Commission.” It suggested that the agency’s case hearings and gas-utility rate cases could be done more professionally and transparently by the State Office of Administrative Hearings and the Public Utility Commission, respectively. In their report, Sunset staff argued that major agency changes are needed to improve pipeline safety, increase bonding requirements for new oil and gas drilling and to intensify inspection and enforcement efforts.
