Thank you Tom Drilling for explaining it to us, minus the “mummbel-jummble” we have been enduring these past months.

We stand with you in voting NO.

Very well said.. I’m a fact of losing my job at age 59 after speaking up in the defense of employees at TDH. 22 years there and got handed my walking papers when HCCA took over. And employees are afraid to speak up.

I think some codes are being broken.
GOVERNMENT CODE

employees are of significant statewide concern. The provisions of
this chapter shall supersede all provisions on this subject in the
general law of this state or any city, county, or city and county

3204. No one who holds, or who is seeking election or appointment
to, any office or employment in a state or local agency shall,
directly or indirectly, use, promise, threaten or attempt to use, any
office, authority, or influence, whether then possessed or merely
anticipated, to confer upon or secure for any individual person, or
to aid or obstruct any individual person in securing, or to prevent
any individual person from securing, any position, nomination,
confirmation, promotion, or change in compensation or position,
within the state or local agency, upon consideration or condition
that the vote or political influence or action of such person or
another shall be given or used in behalf of, or withheld from, any
candidate, officer, or party, or upon any other corrupt condition or
consideration. This prohibition shall apply to urging or discouraging
the individual employee’s action.
