If you missed Rachel Maddow's piece (7/7/14) on the Texas fertilizer factory that blew up, flattening a middle and a high school and killing 15 people - check it out! No surprise Texas has no state fire code. Perfectly legal to store tons of the same stuff that blew up the Oklahoma City Federal office building.

A year after this preventable disaster, the attorney general of Texas, Greg Abbott, made the only legislative change to existing law. He ruled companies don't have to disclose they have dangerous chemicals (although this is required by Federal law). $100,000 of Koch campaign money didn't have anything to do with this ruling, of course.

Texas needs Wendy Davis! And watch the Maddow piece - outstanding reporting!
