Texas Capitol History tweeted this today: In 1979 the 66th Legislature passed HB 1016, making Juneteenth a state holiday, commemorating General Granger’s announcement of the Emancipation Proclamation on Galveston Island. Authored by Rep. Al Edwards and by Sen. Chet Brooks, Gov. Clements signed it into law June 7. Yep. _____ Someone also tweeted this today:…

When he’s 84! Happy Birthday Sir Paul McCartney! _____ Tomorrow is Juneteenth. No mail service tomorrow and banks are closed. So, handle business today. _____ I am sure you heard about this. From the Trib: During the Texas Republican Convention last week, Gov. Greg Abbott publicly backed a push to close primaries and require voters to register with…
