Condados de Texas: cuánto cuestan las cosas, quién decidió, quién pagó.

Cada página de condado de Texas comienza con el informe de área de WalletShock: precios locales, electricidad y gasolina, centros de datos cercanos, gasto escolar y cabildeo federal. Las capas de Texas añaden lo que el estado y el condado tienen registrado: la pregunta pendiente ante el Procurador General, lo que cada corte de comisionados ha hecho sobre los centros de datos, el dinero de campaña y los registros de cabildeo, las exenciones fiscales y la exención estatal, la red eléctrica y su factura, y el agua. Cada cifra nombra su fuente y el área que describe.

Traducción en revisión: un hablante nativo la revisará antes del lanzamiento. Las cifras y las fuentes son las mismas que en inglés.
