Incredible story about two wonderful leaders and role models from Westlake HS. As my kids passed through WHS, we watched first Nick Foles, then Sam Ehlinger (UT starting QB). What a treat!
Nick Foles and Drew Brees, both Westlake High grads, enter Eagles-Saints matchup as fellow Super Bowl MVPs. I must say Nick & Drew are awesome role models for the next generation. Fly Eagles Fly! www2.philly.com/eagles/drew-…
RIP Mr President. At a funder for GWB; door next to me opens, there’s Prez & Mrs Bush. ‘Come on in’ kindly said 41.
New study by Brattle shows, 7 yrs after FERC Order 1000 mandated competition in regional transmission planning, 98% of transmission investments still made outside of competitive planning processes. Projects procured through competition have 40% ave. lower costs. #txlege @PUCTX
