Mayor Tom Martin, Buying a Pizza With a Lone Star Card, and More in Chad’s Steaming Pile

Here are just a few things in Chad’s Pile that you will hear on Lubbock’s First News this morning. Give Chad your feedback on the steaming topics.

1. Mayor Tom Martin and Open Lines

It’s Friday which means we open up the phone lines and let you guys call in talk about anything you want to talk about. Mayor Tom Martin will be on the show for an hour on Friday answer your questions about what is happening in Lubbock.

2. Lone Star Card and Pizza

Last night I picked up a pizza (won't say where) and noticed that people could buy a pizza with their Lone Star Card.

Why?? Why should our tax dollars pay for someone who is on government welfare to buy a pizza? You would think that the Obama administration would hate this since pizza isn't exactly the healthiest thing to buy. Sorry but you shouldn't be able to buy "fun" foods with your welfare card.

3. Rick Perry was heckled (link)

Governor Rick Perry didn't exactly get the warmest reception in North Carolina yesterday.

Texas Governor Rick Perry made a stop on his fundraising trail in Charlotte on Thursday, but it wasn't his supporters who made the most noise. Protestors took to the streets outside San Antonio’s Mexican Grill at SouthPark.

It was anything but a southern hospitality welcome.

"Rick Perry is the only candidate that signed in state tuition for illegal immigrants into law, " said William Gheen, President of Americans for Legal Immigration, or ALIPAC.

“The reason that states have to deal with this is because of the failure of federal government," countered Gov. Perry.

Texas signed a version of the Dream Act into law, allowing many undocumented students who grew up and received a high school education in the United States to receive in-state tuition for college, and Perry stood by his support for the issue.
