Now we know why Joe Moody did NOT run for District Attorney after all.
Sorry, but this whole "I’m more effective in Austin" while making part-time pay to provide for a family of four did not make a lot of sense.
But now it does.
Moody will probably make more working for Rick Francis than he would have as DA.
Or even if he gets paid less, it carries less of a headache.
This probably has been months or even in a year or two in the making.
Your business leaders saw a Joe Moody willing to work with Republicans in Austin.
Which they like.
But they also want an insurance policy in case Democrats do eventually take over Texas.
What better way than to fight to creeping socialism than co-opting a liberal or two.
This is not an El Paso only thing.
Most recently, Dallas' mayor barely a month or two on the job got plum job with a law firm that deals with also financial bullshit.
I am okay with some little practical spiritual corruption of liberal legislators if it means preventing them from indulging in their fantasies.
But you know who is hurting now and wishes they were co-opted?
Mary Gonzalez.
Still making shit pay, and just removed herself from a legislative promotion.
And you wonder why women do not make as much as the men.
