Texas Gov. Abbott appoints owner of Epstein's Zorro Ranch to State's Top Finance Job

[jmbar2]

Well this is interesting... Wonder what's been dug up on Zorro Ranch?

Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday appointed Don Huffines, a former Republican state senator, to be comptroller of public accounts for the rest of the year, after the agency’s acting head, Kelly Hancock, steps down at the end of the month.

“Don Huffines brings the right mix of business experience and conservative principles to this vital office,” Abbott said in a statement announcing the appointment. “His private-sector experience and dedication to limited government make him exceptionally qualified to lead the state’s finances and protect every taxpayer dollar with integrity and accountability.”

A self-branded “MAGA warrior,” Huffines won his primary with promises to DOGE Texas, ensure no state funds are being received by undocumented people and end what he sees as “woke” ideology.

“It’s a new day for Texas. I will change the culture in Austin so everyone knows the money belongs to the people, not the government,” Huffines said in a statement. “My commitment is simple: run government lean, protect every tax dollar, and keep Texas the best place to live, work, raise a family, and run a business.”

I find it dumb and sad that this represents the State where I live. It makes us all look like a bunch of hillbillies. ☮

“The fundamental role of government,” I heard him tell a crowd in Dripping Springs in 2022, “is to protect you from the government.”

Now why would a billionaire want to be appointed and/or elected to be Texas Comptroller?
