"Say it aint Mold" Joe Nixon was horribly defeated last night by right wing loud mouth simple minded Dan Patrick. Nixon got only 8% of the vote from a very conservative bunch of Republicans.
Nixon was behind the tort reform bill in 2003 which restricted access to our court system and limited malpractice awards to $250,000. Insurance rates have NOT been reduced as promised.
But Nixon will also be remembered for his moldy home. While filing the tort reform bills for the insurance agency his insurance company (Farmers) was paying $300,000 in mold remediation for his $360,000 home. All the while his minions were at the mold hearings claiming mold was junk science. It wasn't junk science for Moldy Joe though.
Nixon embarrased the true hypocrites of the state.
