Dan Patrick appears to be hard working... at least HE says so. However, he is often willing to compromise too much for my taste. Just a little too conciliatory. The longer he remains in Austin the more conciliatory he seems to become.
I’m not one who says that if Dan Patrick says it is good it must be good. I don’t trust him or anyone else that much.
Just my opinion and you are welcome to yours which I don’t share.
Kara Sands, the woman who is leading the protests against the CSCOPE social studies lessons, lives in Rep. Todd Hunter's (TXH-32) district. He is the chairman of the calendar committee. He has quite a bit of power to make CSCOPE reform a high priority. Furthermore Kara is a long time Republican activist in Nueces county. She's known Todd Hunter for years, well before he decided to try to return to the legislature in 2008 after serving a few terms in the late 80's and early 90's.
I think I'll ask Todd about CSCOPE reform at the Nueces County Republican Party Lincoln Dinner next week. We'll have a large crowd. US Senator Ted Cruz is the speaker.
