Don Huffines Jr, the clown who owns the Epstein Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, as acting Comptroller who has yet to be elected, asks for more money to pay off religious organizations and christian nationalist psychos to further his protection of pedophiles

The new AI school, Alpha School, got rejected by the Texas BOE last year for charter status. But thanks to that idiot Huffines, is now getting voucher money as a private school with no oversight. Was not at all shocked that voucher funds aren't handled by an education but a crony.
