How the GOP Remembers… the Bill that Died Before the Power Did

In our last episode, a former state lawmaker told the Jasons that Texas missed a golden opportunity six years ago to start planning for extreme weather events.  Current Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson explained how he thinks his bill would have helped prevent the near failure of the Texas electric grid but was killed in the final moments.  One of Johnson’s friends, a former state lawmaker himself on the other side of the aisle, says he remembers the episode too, but with a few different details.  Ron Simmons says while the legislation wouldn’t have hurt, it likely wouldn’t have helped either.  And the Republican says lawmakers likely could have done more all along the way.
