Still a lot ground to be covered in Texas. The final measure of this entire Speaker’s race drama won’t be taken until November 2010. From DentonRC.com:
Just below Hartnett’s nameplate is Tom Craddick’s, the new occupant in what could be called losers’ row.
As the 2009 session of the Texas Legislature convened Tuesday, the fall of the former House speaker and the election of San Antonio Republican Joe Straus changed the political dynamic for two Dallas-area lawmakers.
Instead of preparing to sponsor the measure that would make Craddick speaker, as he did last session, Hartnett, a key Craddick ally, was in his office entertaining his three sons.
