Couple of Notes I Forgot to Mention
I keep a notebook with me to jot down stuff I'm going to write about later. When I wrote my wrap-up of the legislative forum yesterday I didn't have it with me and I forgot a couple of things I wanted to mention.
I wrote about how everyone mentioned how much better things were as a delegation without all the in-fighting and I forgot to mention that during the forum, State Rep Marquez talked about the fact that a paper (Ft. Worth Star-Telegram if I recall) voted El Paso's delegation as the "Most Improved".
Representative Margo stated that "We don't have deficits in Texas, we have funding shortfalls". He was very particular about this so I'll figure out if that is a distinction without a difference or if its really a significant difference and get back with you all.
Margo also made one of the most honest assessments of the budget process for the whole evening. At first he said that "No one" was happy about the budget, which might be accurate but I think it should be said that Republicans were far more happy with the budget than Democrats.
But the statement I'm talking about was this. When referring to the budget process Rep Margo said "there was blood all over the floor". Pretty honest assessment of the budget process.
Working on video highlights, they will follow later this afternoon.
