Laissez-faire is everywhere! (Pun - from an old cartoon character - is attempted).
Texas Republicans' policy is not to regulate anything until someone does things our Texas Republicans don't like (e.g., Austin does it, Houston (and Harris county) elect multiple women of color to be judges, etc...).
The hands off approach killed dozens of Texans during this winter's polar vortex visit. That global climate change triggered event caused a week of constant subfreezing temperatures across the vast majority of the state of Texas.
This while Gov. Abbott, former Gov. Perry, and other current and former Republican leaders, flail round and round to find others to blame.
The investigation was done after a similar freeze in 2011 and the recommendations from the report, published in August of 2011, were discarded without any of said recommended, preventative measures being instituted.
Doing a similar investigation will only reveal the fatal lack of leadership a state gets when we keep electing Republican leaders, that don't like government, to lead the state's government.
