Pratt on Texas

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: The BurrowCrat Coalition to elect Rep. Dustin Burrows of Lubbock as Texas House Speaker may prevail in the end but at this point it seems to be shedding support and making more enemies (understandable if you well know the people involved) than friends – a full BurrowCrat update including:

• Gov. Abbott Condemns Misleading Text Campaign Linking Him to Burrows’ Speaker Bid
• Liberal Democrat State Rep. Confirms Burrows Will Continue ‘Bipartisanship’ in House, Back Burrows
• County GOP Chairs Urge Unity, Support State Rep. David Cook for House Speaker
• Burrows Hemorrhages Support as Harless Backs Cook
• At least one threat of violence reported against a supporter of Chair Burrows for speaker. Buck up! The BurrowCrats are the ones who went nasty nuclear on the nomination.

Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.
