Why is it very difficult to hold a specific person in Texas government responsible for anything?
1.The media in Texas do a very poor job at investigating wrongdoing in government.
2.Most officials usually cite the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution and refuse to say anything that could incriminate them.
3.The state constitution shields all government employees from responsibility for public actions and policies.
4.Many important policy changes have been blocked by the state courts.
5.Government is fragmented and policy responsibility is divided.
