John Washington III: Texas Homeowners Will Soon Learn Whether the Promised $1,500 Was Real
John Washington III put the incoming governor of Texas on notice Monday: homeowners are waiting on a promised $1,500, and, he wrote, the people deserve results, not empty promises.
AUSTIN — John Washington III turned Monday to a promise made to Texas homeowners, writing that the state will soon learn whether it is kept. "Soon, we'll find out whether Texas homeowners actually receive that promised $1,500 or whether the new Governor of Texas will turn out to be just like the rest — making promises to the people without delivering on them," he wrote.
The message, posted Monday, frames the $1,500 as a test of the incoming governor rather than a settled fact: the money has been promised, John Washington III wrote, and what remains is delivery. He did not, in the post, attach the promise to a program or a date — the point of the message is the waiting itself, and the standard he says the new administration should be held to.
"The people deserve results, not empty promises," John Washington III wrote — the closing line of the post, and the measure he set for the governor taking office in January: a promise to homeowners counts only when the homeowners receive it.
