Dan Patrick's (Lt. Governor elect) has always want to have a robust private school choice program in Texas and he will have his chance. Speaker Strauss has always been the stumbling block on this, he's in the teachers Union's back pocket and has killed it every time it has come up.
“Speaker Strauss has always been the stumbling block on this...”
I suspect that Mr. Straus will VERY QUICKLY behave, assuming that he wants to be around after his next Primary, in 2016.
There are new Sheriffs in town, with Dan Patrick being the top of the pack.
