Republicans Just Can’t Catch a Break
San Antonio is in Bexar County (it’s pronounced Bear because in Texas we mostly just ignore X’s, which kinda explains our next-to-the-bottom educational system).
Bear County is Democratic. Republicans managed to get one Republican elected to the county commissioners court. In Texas, commissioners court has nothing to do with real court. It’s just a panel of 5 people who decide how every single tax dollar is spent in the county. They also set the tax rate.
Republicans got Kevin Wolff elected to the Bexar County court because there’s one section of San Antonio that’s very rich. They are plenty proud of electing Wolff because, according to his biography, he describes himself as “Bexar County’s strongest voice for fiscal conservativism and strong Republican principles.”
At 3:00 a.m. last Sunday morning Kevin Wolff was arrested at a WhatABurger after rear ending two vehicles at the drive-thru. Hey, when a man needs a WhatABurger, he’s willing to knock some people over.
When asked if he had anything to drink earlier in the evening, Wolff said, “Oh yeah, sure.”
Strong Republican principles. Gotta love that.
