To depend on the choo-choo commission to protect us is unfair. They are lackeys for the energy industry, as a new report called “Captive Agency” from Commission Shift and Texans for Public Justice says .

“To often the commission has focused on accelerated oil and gas development at the expense of safety, economic vitality, natural resources and the environment.”
