Ever heard politicians say one thing, then do another? Sounds just like Aaron Pena!
“When I first ran, my commitment was to build a drug treatment center, and now that it’s done, I feel like my work is done here,”
Then He Says:
Peña said. “Over the last few sessions we have built up some real momentum and there is still important work to be done.
Then He says:
It is well known and the House Record is clear, I voted AGAINST the bill that would have raised my or any other legislator's pension. This fact is well known as it was published in numerous newspaper articles from around the state. David Diaz of Edinburg Politics news site carried the story and that same story was carried in the same newspaper that Saenz chooses to carry his most recent deception.
But then this was found:
HB 1001 Relating to the compensation of state judges and to the computation of retirement benefits for members of the elected class of the Employees Retirement System of Texas.
The Co Author of the Bill
Then here is another bill:
HB 11 Relating to the compensation of state judges and county judges, to retirement benefits for state judges, and to providing funds for court-related purposes; making an appropriation.
And the co author of HB 11
Then you all remember the now famous cancer research fund bill:
HB 14 Relating to reorganizing certain state institutions that provide financing for cancer research, including creating the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, and information about certain cancer treatments; granting authority to issue bonds.
Co author is Aaron Pena
But then he voted against his very own bill:
Nays — Brown, B.; Brown, F.; Christian; Crabb; Creighton; Elkins; Flynn;
Harper-Brown; Hill; Hughes; Isett; King, P.; Laubenberg; Macias; Miller;
Murphy; Parker; Paxton; Pena; Phillips; Riddle; Solomons; Talton; Van Arsdale.
Now that's what you call doing a Flip Flop!
