Texas Republican Party Platform Thread 130 (Workers' Compensation)
Brown County GOP Website ^ | June, 2002 | Republican Party of Texas

The Republican Party of Texas Platform has been MUCH in the news of late because it is a CONSERVATIVE document and, as such, VERY controversial. I thought it would be an instructive exercise, for those of us who wish to do so here, to go through it plank by plank and see where we stand on these issues. Pursuant to that, I will post ONE plank of the Platform, every few days and anyone who wishes to can state their views as to that particular part of the platform.

Today, under the heading Strengthening The Economy Of Texas And America we find the following plank :

Workers' Compensation - The Party calls on our Texas legislators to resist any efforts to make Workers' Compensation mandatory for all Texas employers.

TOPICS: Business/Economy; Constitution/Conservatism; Crime/Corruption; Culture/Society; Government; Philosophy; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: party; planks; platform; republican; texas
I have decided to score myself by assigning a score of between 0 and 10 points to each of the planks! 10 means I agree with EVERYTHING in it. 0 means I agree with NOTHING in it.

0 more points for this one brings my running score to this point to 1176 of a possible 1300.

I don't know who is exempt now, although it might be small businesses.

I don't know enough about the issues here to have an opinion on this plank.
