| 0:00.0 | the Michael Barry show. Well, the Senate and the House have agreed on a property tax bill. |
| 0:14.4 | There's a whole lot of padding themselves on the back for how historic all of this is and how great |
| 0:20.0 | they all are and you have to remember that we have had an absolute bounty in tax revenues |
| 0:33.0 | over the last few years. You remember that scene in Scarface where they're going into the bank |
| 0:43.3 | and the banker is on the other side of the glass and he's sitting in his office and he sees them |
| 0:48.8 | walking in and the henchmen have these huge laundry bags full of cash and he's looking like, |
| 0:57.2 | oh dear God, what are y'all doing? We can only launder so much. It's like in Breaking Bad |
| 1:09.2 | when Scholar takes walk to the storage unit. She just go for a drive and they go in there. I don't |
| 1:17.3 | know if y'all seem breaking bad. I don't know if it just came out or whatever but I just watched it all |
| 1:23.8 | which probably means it's about 10, 15 years old. She lifts the door on the storage unit that he |

| 1:55.2 | I don't know. I don't know that I heard that years ago. I haven't been able to verify it. Anyway, |
| 2:01.5 | so here's the state legislature, the House, the Senate and the governor and there's more money coming |
| 2:07.5 | in than they know what to do with and it's like laundering money just like Ozark, just like |
| 2:15.2 | Breaking Bad, just like in Scarface. If they spend the money by increasing the departmental budgets, |
| 2:26.2 | it's going to look bad. So they got to show, oh, look what we did. They didn't reduce the budgets. |
| 2:34.9 | They didn't go in and start carving. They didn't boldly piss off the bureaucracy that is the state |
| 2:46.7 | government that looks good relative to the city of Houston and Harris County. But it looks terrible |
| 2:56.4 | compared to conservative counties. Anyway, so they've agreed on a deal and we got to throw some |
