Will ‘worst legislator' be Mr. Justice?

While reading the Houston Chronicle I came across a commentary by Rick Casey titled "Will 'worst legislator' by Mr. Justice?". The author, Rick Casey, is writing with absolute sarcasm when he believes that Ricky Green could make things happen due to having a lot of mishaps with prohibition but having his record cleared, and named the "worst legislator" from Texas Monthly.  This article is targeted towards Texans who are voting in the election including the Texas Supreme Court.  Rick Casey doesnt believe that the Texas Supreme Court should be more like our State Board of Education and Rick Green would be making that happen.  Rick Green is a graduate from University of Texas Law School and a former legislator from Dripping Springs, Texas.  Green has spent a lot of time in the political spectrum from lobbying to being a former legislator.  I think Rick Casey has a good argument and some Texans might agree while others will disagree depending on their stand in this current election against Jeff Brown, Debra Lehrmann, Jim Mosely, Jim Sharp, Rebecca Simmons, Rick Stranger, and William Strange all fighting to become Texas Supreme Court seats.  He is arguing that people should not vote for him by making a decent argument in smearing Rick Green.  It doesn't say too much about Green's opponents but he is just throwing him under the busing by giving his personal views and showing you all the bad things on this particular candidate Rick Green.     s

1986 tax law change was source of anger

Everyone in Austin has heard of the recent plane that crashed into a Northwest Austin building on February 18, 2010. Andrew Joseph Stack III was responsible for this crash because he was angry at the IRS. Before the accident he posted a rant online against a 1986 tax reform that redefined the status of some highly skilled technology industry contract workers. Previously, the workers did not have tax money withheld from their paychecks but instead made quarterly payments on their own based on estimated income. Stack was angry and looking for a way out of the withholding system. In the end he tried to "prove" a point, write a blog against the 1986 tax reform, burnt his house, and crashed his plane into an IRS building. 

I thought this incident was very interesting because nothing like this ever happens in Austin, Texas.  In the beginning people were thinking this was some sort of terrorist attack but instead it was an angry person who did not want to pay his taxes.  Instead he takes his anger out on the IRS and crashes his plane into a building which in the end killed one person.
