    July Informational Meeting followup

    July 26, 2024 by Mark L. Torrey in / / / / / / / /

    One of our best attended Informational Meetings so far, with a full house and some of us standing in the hallway.  Sergeant Miller spoke on the presence, dangers and Bastrop County Sheriff’s Office reduction efforts of the Fentanyl epidemic sweeping our County, State and Nation, and answered several questions at the end.  The biggest take away is being aware of the symptoms:

    • slow, shallow breathing or respiratory distress
    • slurred speech
    • loss of consciousness

    These can quickly become serious health problems, resulting in permanent injury or death. The next biggest is knowing what forms Fentanyl is typically trafficked:

    • pills
    • powder
    • liquid

    Don’t take chances and certainly DO NOT TOUCH anything suspicious, such as small plastic baggies with unknown pills, powder or other substances.  It could contain products that, in the smallest quantities could cause you or others irreparable harm or death. If you see or find anything suspicious, or encounter someone who might need medical assistance Call 911 immediately.   If you have any questions or would like further details, please call Bastrop County Sheriffs Office .

    Fran Rhodes is currently serving as president of True Texas Project (TTP).  Mrs. Rhodes first became interested in politics when Obama was elected. She attended a Tax Day rally in 2009, and joined several grassroots groups, subscribing to their online newsletters.  Mrs. Rhodes started attending NE Tarrant Tea Party meetings in the summer of 2009.  In 2010, she took on  leadership of the Volunteer Liaison program, and in 2013, established the Citizen Advocate program.  In 2014 she joined the Board of NE Tarrant Tea Party, and in 2016 became Vice President, and was promoted to President in 2019 when NETTP re-branded and relaunched into the True Texas Project (TTP). Mrs. Rhodes is now helping to lead the organization and grow the grassroots army in Texas.

    Mrs. Rhodes’ passion for this service comes from a desire to actually make a difference, influence what goes on in our government, and really make our voices heard.  According to Mrs. Rhodes, “Even when we don’t get the outcomes we want, people see that we show up, we put in the time, we do the work, and we are not going away!” Mrs. Rhodes holds a BA in Business Management from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, and is retired from a career in sales and marketing in the office furniture industry.  Originally from Illinois, she got to Texas as soon as she could, considers herself a Texan after 3 decades of living in the Lone Star State, and is passionate about fighting for liberty in Texas.

    When she is not fighting for legislation, speaking to others about activism, or organizing the latest TTP special event, she is an active member of her church choir, and enjoys sewing, quilting and gardening.  Fran can be reached at , on Facebook, Twitter, and MeWe.

    Tim Hardin serves as the president and CEO of Texans for Fiscal Responsibility (TFR). Texans for Fiscal Responsibility is an independent educational non-profit organization seeking to illuminate the actions of government, educate and equip citizens to effectively advocate for pro-taxpayer reforms, and hold lawmakers accountable for their actions. TFR has addressed hundreds of organizations and groups all across the Lone Star State.

    Consistent with their guiding principles, TFR has identified key legislative priorities in the wake of the 88th Texas Legislature. While Republicans maintain a strong majority, there are no excuses for lawmakers to be derelict in their duty to pass commonsense reforms called for by the grassroots. The Texas Prosperity Plan is TFR’s policy goal to achieve a fiscally responsible Texas.

    Tim has an undergraduate degree in philosophy and political science from the University of North Texas. He also earned his master’s degree in biblical studies from West Coast Baptist College. Tim is a small-business man and pastor and served as a chief of staff in the Texas House for eight years. He resides in Fort Worth with his wife, Luisa, and their five children, Elijah, Noah, Micah, Jeremiah, and Selah.
